Nice drive on a sunny Saturday April 2 on the way home from Richmond, VA. I did run into a massive backup in Burlington, NC (which seems to be pretty common over the years) which was caused by a truck wreck, seen here as I finally got past it. Did a lot of damage to the guardrail, the truck and the tractor (which was being loaded onto a hauler as I went by. Hopefully the driver was not hurt. Have been pretty lucky on trips home, very few big backups over the three years I have been making this trip back and forth. Even better, I have been able to have no accidents (knock on wood). It is generally a really nice drive between the two cities.Photo here is from the seat of my motorcycle, got another beautiful day and rode out to a couple of motorcycle shops in the area and also went to see the traveling Vietnam Memorial Wall. Friend of mine from my Navy days has a brother who's name is on the wall in Washington, DC (and also this replica) and I was glad that I went to see it. Hope to see the real thing in Washington, while I am working in nearby Richmond, VA. Have a few things in the Nations' Capital I want to check out. Last stop today during the ride was to Charlotte Motor Speedway where I got a photo of the hand and footprint of one Richard Petty at the tracks "Walk of Fame". Had a great weekend at home, and have a few more photos on my photo page. Thanks for visiting my page!
