Labor Day and More Ride - Day 4 - Texas

September 8, 2009
Fort Collins, CO

Having ridden through Colorado, New Mexico and West Texas over a couple of days, we finally arrived in Wichita Falls, TX Labor Day afternoon, complete with Dad escort. He met us in Seymour and rode the rest of the way in with us. That was fun. Mom and Molly were waiting with hugs and smiles and a wag of the tail for our arrival.

The Folks had recently given the living room a makeover. Nice job, I must say. The new furnishings are beautiful and more importantly, comfortable. We visited long into the evening with the Folks and rested well. This morning we had coffee and donuts and visited some more. Of course, no trip to Wichita Falls is good until we visit Red River Harley-Davidson, one of the best Harley dealerships on the face of the earth, in my humble opinion. The atmosphere is relaxed and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The dealership and the bikes on the floor are always immaculate. We shopped and visited with the staff and a local biker (Russ) who was having his new multi-hued Harley serviced... then we shopped some more.



Afterwards, Mom and I split from the guys who rode off in the opposite direction. I don't know where. We nabbed a rare opportunity for some mother-daughter time. The day was warm and we had skipped lunch, so we stopped at Braum's for a milk shake, fries and a talk, then browsed through Hobby Lobby.

Later, we joined the guys for driveway conversation (we sit in the driveway and talk - ha!) and a light supper. The remainder of the evening was spent enjoying each other's company.
