It has been quite awhile since I posted anything and the reason for that is I haven’t really done anything of interest to post except for today. I finally had an opportunity to get the motorcycle out for a ride. The Maryland Motor Maids had planned a ride to Waterman’s Crab House in Rock Hall for lunch. So, I decide to take a solo ride to Waterman’s. All directions
were sending me down I-95 but I wanted to avoid that highway because I always end up in a back-up and have to “walk” the motorcycle – which is not fun especially if it is hot! I took surface roads and ended up in a back-up, twice, because of construction and I missed a road! Then, I was about 20 miles from Rock Hall and the sky opened up for a couple of miles and then stopped – it was just enough to get the jeans wet!
Fortunately, they were dry by the time I got to Waterman’s. The last time I was at Waterman’s, I ordered soft shell crabs and had no idea what they were … and there was no way I was eating them! I have a hard time eating meat or seafood that looks like it did when it was alive! This time I ordered crab cakes.
It started getting cloudy so I decided to head home and not hang around. I got about 10 miles outside of Rock Hall and the skies opened up “big time”! The rain came down so hard it was difficult to see the road … I followed the white line on the shoulder of the road. There was no safe or covered place to pull off and wait it out or put on rain gear. It was a long 90 miles of rain.
My newest hobby is finding historical markers and did find three historical markers on the way home – two in MD and one in PA. Despite the rain, I will say I had a nice day and rode 220 miles.
