The ride back to Russellville

Saturday night of BBBQ around Midnight, Charles rode back to his home North of Little Rock. He said it was a long ride, but he's done similar rides before. Charles has never been one to fear a ride, short or long, hot,cold,or dark. It doesnt matter to him because he's a rider, he's ridden motorcycles since he was a young boy and most of them have been Harleys. Having ridden all over the United States and Canada, first as a young man then later while married, he and wife Melanie have spent many of their vacation days on the open road, sometimes putting in thousands of miles in a trip. They've even ridden as high as 14,000 ft. up Mt. Evans in Colorado, which I believe is the highest paved road in the United States. To top that off, they usually have their two Yorkies with them in a carrier on the back of their Ultra Classic HD.

This was his second trip to BBBQ and he seemed to enjoy it. I have a feeling that next year he and Melanie will be returning to BBBQ. I don't know though, Melanie really likes the Blues Rally in Helena. Whichever, I'm sure they'll be at one of them.

Zack, the three Mikes and myself departed BBBQ on Sunday morning. We had a short rest during the night, after getting to bed around 4 am it wasnt much but it sufficed.
