Kathryn Hill Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Marty Hill left ATL this morning and is headed on another European adventure. I'm proud of you, Dad - shine on you crazy diamond! Link to comment
TEWKS Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Looking mighty adventurous, he is! Reservations made. Pat Link to comment
Kathryn Hill Posted September 7, 2017 Author Share Posted September 7, 2017 (edited) According to his SPOT tracker he just rolled into his hotel in Charlottesville, VA. He's all yours tomorrow, Pat. Have fun! I was looking at this foliage map. Are the leaves turning yet up there? https://smokymountains.com/fall-foliage-map/ Edited September 7, 2017 by Kathryn Hill Link to comment
TEWKS Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Still pretty green up in my area Kathryn, but as you go north the colors are starting to pop. How's your dad do with (mildly) spicy foods? I came up with a pretty good burrito recipe I was going to cook up tomorrow. Pat Link to comment
Kathryn Hill Posted September 8, 2017 Author Share Posted September 8, 2017 Pat, I've tried to respond to your comment eight times and the bulletin board keeps eating my comment and displaying a blank space where my text should be. I'm not sure why. Will PM you. Link to comment
Kathryn Hill Posted September 8, 2017 Author Share Posted September 8, 2017 Testing ... I think I know what happened ... Pat, he can do MILDLY spicy ... he loves my crawfish etouffee which has a tiny amount of cayenne and Tabasco. I did a wonderful tour of New England in October 2015 and saw some amazing colors - here's hoping Marty sees some on his way up to Montreal. Pictures here if you want to take a look: https://goo.gl/photos/bWA92yPq19wriZyD9 Link to comment
Kathryn Hill Posted September 8, 2017 Author Share Posted September 8, 2017 Aha, I know why that didn't work before. Etouffee has two accented "e's" and I think something in this bulletin board's settings won't allow accented characters. So it was eating my comment both on the board and in PM's to you. Mystery solved! Link to comment
TEWKS Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Great pics Kathryn, very artistic eye! Ok, 1/2 on the Frank's Redhot! Pat Link to comment

Steve1962 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 (edited) Good luck Marty, ride safe. Ps Currently languishing poolside in Albufiera on day 5 of a two week break. Just booked a Suzuki Burgman 125 cc for four days starting Monday so me and SWMBO will be exploring the area on two wheels. Take care friend.

TEWKS Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Doug, don't remember seeing it. Try again please, I'll watch! Was the vid of you and your bud? Yeah, he's not a bad eater. Couldn't finish the burrito last night though, probably a little on the large size. Pat Link to comment
Marty Hill Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I eat like a horse but the burrito was for an elephant. Link to comment

Marty Hill Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Had a long chat with the border guard. No one else came thru and he is a rider so it was fun. Bike is on the way to Frankfurt in about 2 hours. I'll follow tomorrow evening. Assuming all goes well I'll be riding in Germany by mid day tuesday. Pat, it was great to see you and the family again. Brought back memories watching your daughter ride that pony. Link to comment
TEWKS Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Very glad to have you stop in, Marty! Great to hear that everything went smoothly with the bike transfer. Now all that's left to do is to sit back and enjoy the flight! Pat Link to comment

Marty Hill Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 At YUL waiting for my flight/only 10 more hours. Always fun to ride in Germany. Me doing 100 mph and watching the cars zip by doing 150+. Link to comment

Me doing 100 mph and watching the cars zip by doing 150+. At least you can manage 100! The only time I rented a vehicle in Germany - 30 years ago! - I had a Opel Kadet! It'd do a 100 downhill. 100kpm that is! Enjoy Marty! Link to comment

Marty Hill Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 In the few years I've been riding I've had very good luck with wx. This trip is making up for it. Rode the bike out of FRA cargo on the 9th in rain. It hasn't stopped since. No pics/worse than usual. Does the sun still come out? Has anyone seen it lately in the states? Link to comment
TEWKS Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Thanks, Kathryn! Marty too bad about the weather but riding your bike in Europe (rain & all) beats the heck out of not riding your bike and working in Mass. Just a bit jealous. Pat Link to comment
Bud Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Let us see. Riding in the rain in Europe vs. riding in the heat and humidity in flat S. Illinois. Dunno.................... Link to comment
Marty Hill Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Both of you guy are heartless! Can't you even feel a little sorry for the old guy? Nah, I wouldn't either. Link to comment
