Home Sweet Home

We spent our last night on the road in Hays Kansas. We had stayed here on our way as we began our journey. It was here that we made our last Harley stop at Doerfler's Harley Davidson dealership. We had been there several years ago. On Saturday, 29 August we began our trip to Rogers Arkansas. It was here in Rogers that we said goodbye to Phillip, took our traditional photograph and headed home on Sunday, August 30. We arrived in Rogers about three days early and just in time for Cindy's  birthday. In summarizing our trip I would have to say that this was the best one yet. It was not so much the places that we stopped and saw as much as it was the scenery we saw as we traveled through the various states to the West Coast. This was truly about the ride ( a total of 6490 miles ) and not the destination. We really only had one day of rain and the temperatures were mild enough throughout the trip show that we were comfortable. We all agreed that at Mount St. Helens and Mount Rainier were two of the premier places that we visited on our journey. The ride and the fellowship will always be the part of the journey that brings us back year after year for another adventure, A special thanks to our wives for allowing us this privilege. Y'all are the best! (Sorry this last post is so late.) ROM

Louisville: Family and Friends

Gaylen's grandson Dan and his family hosted us two years ago on our way home from Nova Scotia when they lay out in St. Louis. They are such a great family. They have become like family to Philip and I. We got to meet Romyn for the first time because he was born in October after we were there in August of that year. He was really a character and we were so surprised say how much Hydi and Nolyn have grown. Krista had become Dr. Schuck in our absence. Dan is staying busier at times than he thought he would designing Webb sights and managing his own home maintenance and repurposing business. That evening we all went to dinner at Lu Lu's and stuck great grandpa Schuck with the check. For Phillip and I this was the best part of the evening. After dinner we all went to the Sweet Cow for a scoop of ice cream. ( except for me ). We got up and Dan cooked breakfast for all of us. Great grandpa Schuck got to have breakfast with his great grandchildren. ( last pic. ) We reluctantly said goodbye after a trip to Krista's clinic for a Chiorpractic adjustment each and a Hydro-massage. Relaxing ride today! Thanks, Dr. Schuck. ROM

Thank you

A really awesome evening stay with Dan, Krista, Hydi, Nolyn and Romyn. Thank you so much. And if you can't tell, all 3 Grandpas are smiling after an adjustment and Hydro Massage at Krista's clinic. GMS

Dan and Krista's house

Located in a nice suburb of Denver, Louisville, this two story, full basement, 3 bedroom home was built in the 80s. The entire neighborhood is families and kids about the same age, on a cul-de-sac. With lots of bike and hike trails. Also about a 5 minute drive or 10 minute bike ride to Krista's office. Here Richard and Dan inspect the back yard and Nolyn by the back fence. GMS
