Day 3–Route 9



Snapshot_098
So today I decide to take a little cruise before finding something else to do. I decide to go through this quaint small area, and found another bus stop along  the road side. Odd I never really see many buses, but yet always a bus stop. So I hop off my bike and take a break for a while. It’s amazing to see thing that I’m seeing during my travels. Oh yes, I almost forgot to change my clothes, so I ran real quick to a place to change my clothes, did just that and decided it was time to take a new ride along Route 9. As I was driving along the highway, I ran across some train tracks. Odd I didn’t think there was a train in SL on the main roads.But sure enough there is.

So I cautiously proceed across the tracks, and start to travel down the road further, then find a spot that I can change my outfit as this one smells like the road. Icky if you ask me, Oh well, I’ll wash them later on today or tomorrow. As I’m traveling down this road it all of a sudden slopes downward, so I back down into 1st gear, and slowly take it easy unsure where this road will go, when I notice water

Max Headroom?? Wow I haven’t heard nor seen that name in so long, if you know who I’m talking about then you’ll probably laugh at this sign, but none the less I didn’t see him at all, what a rip off too!! HOLY SHIT this road is going to swallow into the water. Hold on as I don’t know where this will lead, but I’m hoping I don’t sink and stay at the bottom for long.

Wow so it’s an underwater tunnel, cool. I have only heard about these, and never have seen them often. It’s a unique trip that I’m on for sure now, at least the water is safe for the time being. WTF is that floating around, upon further inspection I see it’s a catfish.That reminds me, I’m hungry. Oh well time to break for a moment and grab some lunch.

Damn will this end soon? I want to see the daylight again, and explore the open road, not the open sea. Not that I’m really complaining this is the type of stuff I love to do. All this traveling. Hope everyone is having fun today as I sure am.

Ah finally I see it’s time to climb the hill coming out of that long tunnel that I never thought I’d see daylight, but ahhhh to breath that fresh oxygen we’re all so happy to, and sometimes take for granted.

Snapshot_097WHERE’S THE BEEF???? Yes we’ll see a lot of strange things along this stretch of road. Still it’s a refreshing, and as you can see, this was before the outfit change. I think the smell of the cattle is what really made me find a quaint spot to change real fast. Ewww, please tell me that is not what I think that is on my tire, or even my sneaker. Phew, no it was just mud, I would have been extremely upset if I had step in cow crap. That’s a smell thing I don’t wish to endure. Anyways hope you have a great day, and I’ll keep everyone updated on the travels!!!

Have a great day/night where ever you are!!! Until Next time. Live Free, and Ride Hard!!
