D Day (D for Departure)

DAY 1
Hot Springs, Arkansas to Abilene, TX

Total Est. Time: 7 hours, 21 minutes
Total Est. Distance: 478 miles



Well, the planning of the last 18 months is about it go into motion. Today is the day!

I'm headed west of course, either to stay with relatives in the Dallas area or possibly to move on to Abilene, TX. I have not managed to find any of my relatives by phone or email yet (hmmmm - what are they trying to tell me?), so if I still can't find them Saturday afternoon, it's on to Abilene.

Tested the bike yesterday - everything is working AWESOME!
