Sun was out in full force and I was sick of sitting down so saddled up and took off. Was 10 degrees Celsius but who cares. Had to stop at this small church parking lot off the old highway to warm up but still got 75 kms in! Wish it would stay warmer for another couple months but not the case here in Atlantic Canada :(.

This lovely little church is just north of Sardis Lake Mississippi. The road has good pavement and nice sweeping turns.

It's time to pick the cotton. There is a lot of heavy machinery on the road now. Cotton picking is in full swing.

This is the only motorcycle shop near me. Clark works on old Harleys. I mean OLD. The place is full of panheads. Do you weld? no Paint? no Vapor blast? no Unfortunately, he's got nothing for me. If I buy a '97 Road King, he won't help with that, either. Too new. Too bad. Cool shop. Real nice guy.

Nice photos Marty. Didn’t you just recently relocate to that area? How do you like it?
Yes, we settled in Mississippi in March. I'm making the best of it. It's probably the cheapest place in the country to live. The history is interesting and I'm interested. The weather is mostly unpleasant. If you enjoy fine dining, good whisky, and craft beer, forget it! Motorcyclists seem to be few. There are things here that I like. The hill country is very pretty. I like Vicksburg. Given the chance to return to North Georgia, I don't need even one second to consider it!

Sixty nine degrees and sunny this morning. I’m full of coffee and hitting the road. The Bradshaw Mountains and Lake Pleasant is on the radar.

Wow that looks like a great event! The vintage scene is sorely lacking here in Az. Although I did pass a Norton the other day when I was out riding, I was almost too shocked to wave! :laugh2:
