We rode all day with Hardy and Hal. At this gas stop, Hardy left his ignition on and ran his battery down while we were taking a break. Thank goodness for jumper cables! We were off again in no time.





We had all decided we were ready to get home so we would ride together as far as we could. We blasted through Montana, Wyoming and into Colorado. This is some of the scenery in Wyoming.

Hal is a retired Navy Captain, so he has access to lodging at military bases. As his guests, we were allowed to stay at Peterson Airforce Base in Colorado Springs in their very nice hotel - the best room for the lowest price during the whole trip. Thanks Hal!!!


Hal Gulledge from Boerne, TX - riding down the road in Colorado.




Hardy Baker from Buffalo, TX - riding a goldwing the same year and color as ours.

We said good-bye to our new friends in Amarillo as we would being going different directions from there. Even though we had only known these guys for a few days, it seemed like we had known them forever! We really enjoyed our time with them!
