May 19, 2017 - Day 3 to DC --- Gallup, NM to Eagle Nest, NM

BRRRR!!! Another chilly day. Started out at 33 but look at the sunshine!!

Check out the background.  We started out the day with the pledge and prayer.  I forgot to mention that they recognize those currently serving, vets that are on the run, and Blue and Gold Star family members.

·                     Blue: families who have a loved one serving in the armed forces

·                     Gold:  If a serviceman dies, the blue star may be replaced by a gold star.

DC and Sami , our Raffle team, auctioned off this quilt.  all the money goes to Rainelle.  It was gorgeous!!!

 Larry ended up going with the trailer to a dealer north of Albuquerque.  So today I road with Ron.  Every morning the platoon leader go thru several items: the agenda for the day, reminder to all of the hand signals, safety,....  So it was kind of nice to hear all this again. Also mentioned that we are going to the Angel Fire Vietnam Memorial.  Roads leading there are windy.  Since we were not sure of the weather, he went over how we were going to ride (single file) and at our own pace.

 Sea of helmets.  LETS RIDE!!!

 Just out side the parking lot on our first turn was this group of kids.  So neat to see this support.

 As we enter the highway, I got this picture.  So Cool..... never get tired of seeing this.

Sorry to say I need to end this post tonight.  Internet is not very good here!!! And it took over 20 minutes to load just 5 pics.

FYI. Larry's bike is fixed and met us here.  Also his back doing a better, not much pain just a little sore still

Temps in the mornnig are supposed to be 22...... layer on the clothes.  So far I have been staying pretty ok... not sure I would call it warm, but not freezing.

Sorry  but you will see pics tomorrow.
