Days 4,5, and 6 Of The "Loneliest Highway" Ride


Day 4 saw us ride from Green River, Ut to Pueblo, CO. Another day of spectacular scenery!

Day 5 took us from Pueblo, CO to El Dorado, KS. More great scenery!


Day 6 had us traveling from El Dorado, KS, to Kirkwood lodge, in Osage Beach, MO. Most of this ride, was like a roller coaster ride. That is, up, down, and around! Great scenery through the Ozark mountains! Upon arriving at Kirkwood, we picked up our truck, and drove to Aurora, Mo for a dance, and returned to Kirkwood, after the dance. Needless to say, we were ready for a day of rest!


What a great way to end a long journey! After completing our Route 50 ride, we took Sunday, off, as a "Chill Out" day. We started the day out by visiting the church, of the pastor who married us, last year. We really enjoy Brother Jim! He is such a lively, and spirited minister! After church, we decided to have a cook-out at Kirkwood Lodge, with our many friends, there! Thanks to Decah, Eddie, and Lorna, we had a terrific fajita dinner! The photo below, is of the Kirkwood gang. We always feel like family, when we visit Kirkwood! After dinner, we just chilled out, and had a great time listening to Eddie, and Chris jamming, with their guitars!





Our Route 50 ride, was awsome! To this date, it is, by far, the best ride yet, of this summer! We have a few more rides coming up, but they will have a hard time topping this one! I guess you could say Decah really earned her stripes!
