I really enjoyed meeting and talking to Bob and Buddy. I hope you found Rt 30 east of Mosites Motorsports as enjoyable as I did a couple of weeks ago. You passed St. Vincents College where the Pittsburgh Steelers hold their training camps. The road itself is very enjoyable. I hope you can take a picture of your MP3’s in front of the Harley York assembly plant. Did you get a chance to visit the Big Mac Museum? It must be new, because I have been on that part of Rt 30 many times and just discovered it myself with my daughter Shalynn who also met you at Mosites. Your trip brings back memories of my trip from Pittsburgh to OK City, OK to attend a training center for work. They provided me the money for air fare, but I decided to fly 31″ of the ground on my 2006 Concours. I also decided to not go along the typical Interstate route, but rather go as the crow flies along US Hwy 60 and 62. It was so great having such a wonderful highway all to myself most of the time and being able to go through so many interesting small towns, staying at ‘cheap’ motels, finding the local eateries, and meeting and talking to the people that make this country so special. I even went through the center of the University of Arkansas campus to recover a missed turn. I ran in and out of a few storms. All in all it is the only way to travel. I admire your taking the adventure and letting the world know that there is plenty of opportunity to ‘travel’ right here in the good ol’ US of America. Have a safe and memorable journey. I hope we can travel together some time.
A new friend,
Greg

Tom: The MP3’s three wheels made all the difference going across the Newell, my favorite on the Lincoln H’way.

Brian: We’ll all go to D’s next time through. We enjoyed meeting you and the conversation about the LH in Pennsylvania over lunch. I look forward to reading your next book about The Road.

Buddy and Bob,

At the Newell Toll Bridge, are you sure you didn’t also pay for the return ticket? If so, that means you’ll have to come back this way!

How did the MP3 handle the steel grid surface of the Newell bridge? Even in a car, you can sometimes feel like you’re sliding across the bridge.

Best regards,
Tom Evans.

Aww, returning to work meant I missed going to D’s! Oh well, it was great seeing you all and talking about the road. Glad you got to experience some cool places around town.
