The Five Corners Run 2010

This year, we will be traveling along the borders of the United States; from southern California to Brownsville, Texas- to Key West, Florida to the northern border of Maine- across the Great Lakes into Canada, to northwestern Washington, and finally back home.

12,000 miles - 30 states - 3 countries.

We call our little jaunt the Five Corners Run…

Today started out as a beautiful day- beautiful blue skies with white and silver clouds overhead. We met with Tommy and Jodie, and before heading to Boston Harley-Davidson, they took us on a tour of the area. There is nothing like riding with an experienced local, since they know every turn, every great road, and every great place to eat. Today was no different. We followed them east to the coast, and through some of the most beautiful neighborhoods I've ever seen. Many of the homes were literally built on granite flows, with beautiful lawns and flowers and trees surrounding the homes. Bridges crossing over beautiful salt water inlets. Beautiful white sand beaches. Homes with the most spectacular views. Our travels took us to a recreational area called Nantasket Beach where we had a great lunch, then off to Boston Harley located about a hour north. Proving there is humor everywhere, the highway separated as a large ambulance passed. Behind the ambulance was a car which was shadowing it as the ambulance parted the seas ahead. About five minutes later the highway stopped. When we got to the scene of the accident, we saw that the same car had actually rear-ended the ambulance- A little justice (accept for the person being transported in the ambulance). We dropped our bikes off at the dealership, made our way to the airport, and made our way home.

See ya in a week!
