We rode to the Hard Rock Cafe & Casino in Catoosa, Oklahoma on Saturday, June 12, the night after the Tim McGraw concert. I was so tired I was actually afraid I might fall asleep on the back of the motorcycle. When we left Wichita, there were 7 bikes and 10 people in the group. The weather did not look promising at all; overcast and kind of cool.
We left at 8:30 a.m. and arrived in Catoosa at noon. I am not into gambling at all but did enjoy the Hard Rock, the memorabilia is very cool. Their "SAVE THE PLANET" slogan really has not meant much to me until I actually stood and stared at it. Now more than ever, we do need to save the planet, oil leaks, spraying the strawberries in California with poisons and too many other things to list in this blog! The other item that really caught my attention was the song lyrics around the ceiling "Well I have never been to heaven, but I've been to Oklahoma"....love it!
Nope, I did not win any money but I did lose $10. That was enough for me!
On the way home it was hot and so muggy. We ran into a small shower which felt great. When the sun finally did come out, it was hot. We shed some clothes, stopped for water and we were off again. Our ride was a total of 403 miles, the most we have ever ridden in one day. Trust me, my ass felt every single mile of it.
The sun through the clouds was beautiful. The road seemed to go on forever. We passed the old barn and I was afraid I would not get my camera ready in time to get a pic, when I got home and downloaded it, I was surprised it actually turned out.
Just a few pics from the ride, nothing ever compares to the real thing, but I am trying.
