Day 1

Here we are, Jerry myself and Joe set to leave Toms River on our cross country motorcycle trip.   We are picking up James in about 10 minutes because he went to the wrong meeting Place.   I hope this isn't a sign of things to come . Although James has made this trip cross country on a motorcycle several times, it certainly is a bucket list thing for me. We will be leaving our families and friends for 4-5 weeks, and want to thank them for their support and for their patience during our absence.  They will be missed, and I will especially miss my little best buddy Derek.
 

I hope to be back with a recap of the first day later tonight.
