Thursday
Texas
We didn't get an Independence Day ride yesterday. The man worked a 12 hour night shift so sleep was a priority. And, we had plans to BBQ with the Folks. It was too damn hot to ride anyway. So, we rolled out early this morning not necessarily in search of breakfast but as luck would have it - we found coffee, some eggs and bacon and pancakes a few miles west at the Hwy Grill in Iowa Park, TX. The pancakes are platter size and served up fresh and hot with melted butter. Yum!
Hwy Grill in Iowa Park serves up breakfast just the way we like it
Sort of a little dive, quaint, cozy and dated... we love the place and the food is excellent.
It was almost cool - riding in the 80s. Winds were light and variable. We had a few clouds. We stopped at the new truck stop in Henrietta for coffee and rode on to Lake Arrowhead and over the dam before pointing the Ride home.
Tim pleased as could be that the coffee bar in the fancy new truck stop has "regular" coffee.
There's always time for a coffee break
Lots of cranes out this trip

Local junk collector of motorcycles and vintage vehicles of all sorts featured on an episode of American Pickers a while back looks to be finally selling some stuff
John Chadwell (and brother Jim) have lots of vintage cars and motorcycles. They have built and raced and been involved with motorcycles most of their lives. This spot on the side of the road is always an interesting ride-by.
