Based on the weather man we were sure to encounter some rain today but it was supposed to be after 1:00. So – we started out without the rain gear but packed it on top so it would be easy to get to. Destination – breakfast 160 miles up the road in Garberville, CA. There was no rain but the last 100 miles of this ride was COLD. We only had one electrical connection for two sets of heated jackets so naturally, Robin is the one with the heat. When we stopped for gas with 100 miles to go, she saw how cold I was and gave me the controller. When we got to Garberville – she told me that wasn’t going to happen again. I knew it was coming but I was sure happy to have the Gerbings heated jacket working for that portion of the ride. I was planning on stopping tomorrow for another controller but when we got to our friend’s house here in Winston, he had an extra – WHAT LUCK. So, now we’re both hooked up for warmth. When we stop to get my bike fixed I think Rich will be looking for an electric jacket. Oh yea, I didn’t tell you – ALL Five of the screws connecting the latch to my right saddle bag lid are gone. Robin took the lid off and luckily caught it before it fell. Tomorrow we will be stopping at the Harley dealer and getting that taken care of. No rain all day was good. We really enjoyed our short visit with Bill & Debbie and are looking forward to seeing them again on our way back down in a couple days.
