Re: My trip from Elko Got about 1000 miles so far. I'm just south of Memphis were I will be visiting a friend tomorrow. Rode through an area hit by a tornado a couple of days ago. No houses destroyed but lots of trees down, roads and bridges washed out. Got around them all and had a little excitement crossing one flooded area. Ever try standing on the seat in the middle of a muddy washout while moving? That's what I tried to do when confronted by a water moccasin making the same crossing at the same time. It certainly increases your intensity as well as your speed. Motorcycle boots are snake proof...............right??????????? (Ken's SPOT on June 2)
