2018 Factoids and Follow-up
Saturday 19 May 2018
10th Anniversary
San Antonio, Texas to Panama City Beach, Florida or Coastal Social #2
We had no idea we would see so many people that we knew, or meet so many new friends on this trip, hence the second Coastal Social designation.
When we last left off, we were doubting our decision to abort the trip because of a forecasted Tropical Depression. It was not raining when we woke and the ceiling was high. But when Jim Cantore comes on The Weather Channel and he is in the same town as you, it is time to go!

It still has not been decided if this was our swan song tour, but for now, we are pretending it is. Thank you to all that opened their hearts and homes to us, for the new friends we met and as always, for the encouraging comments along the way. End of touring days or not, we will still ride.
