Today's ride was the shortest of the journey. It was planned this way to not only spend more time with family before the start out west into unknown terrain, but to also allow time for my dad to get his stuff ready for him and Tod to go with me to Colorado. I will get into that here in a bit but first, more memories.
I graduated from Weatherford High School 20 years ago. Now it hosts 9th graders and what appears to be church on Sundays. Weatherford has grown exponentially since I lived here and it doesn't have that small town feel anymore. They left the city center alone but the edges are all new and dwarf the old town.
My older brother Mike road with me from Ft Worth to Palo Pinto where my dad lives and we stopped for some photos in front of the Baker Hotel. This place has some interesting history and is said to be haunted. Even my high school reunion next month plans on doing a visit here for one of the activities.
But for us it is another cool mark in our memory book. I chose my Road King based off my brother's experience with his and could not be happier.
After we we got to Palo Pinto Tod showed up and the 4 of us road with some more family members down to the lake for some pizza and conversation. A great way to spend a relaxing day.
Tomorrow we head towards Roswell and then to Colorado.
