The main goal is to visit the Trinity atomic bomb test site in New Mexico. The site only opens twice a year and has been high on my bucket list. I will give more details about Trinity when I visit on Saturday.
	A Blessed Labor Day Weekend and a Challenge to Pay it Forward Travel > Local A couple of weeks ago Laurie said we need a weekend away. She was right. We planned a trip to the NC mountains on Silvia our Gold Wing motorcycle and a stay in the Oak Hill Bed and Breakfast in Waynesville, NC. She lucked out and the weather was perfect after many days of 90+ temperatures.
	Laurie and I Took My Dad to Colorado Travel > 2021 Colorado With Dad The photo above is the last photo I have of my Dad. We had just arrived home after being on the road for a couple of weeks taking as he said "A trip of a lifetime." His wife and our mother died in Sep 2020. Dad loved traveling and had been to Colorado many times. He loved the Rocky Mountains. Laurie and I took him to Colorado again just before he died.
	2021 Motorcycle Trip Along Southern US Coast to NM, Rain, Snow and Hail Travel > 2021 Gulf Coast to New Mexico I combined the videos from my spring 2021 cross country motorcycle trip into one video. I am using Luma Fusion for editing and find that I really like it. The entire editing process can be done on my iPad and adding music and transitions is very easy.
	Day 12, More Route 66 and Final Blog Travel > 2021 Gulf Coast to New Mexico Rushing to El Reno, OK last night and skipping some things I wanted to see was the right choice. This morning there is snow in Santa Rosa and Moriarty. There seems to be ice or snow in Amarillo. I guess they knew what they were doing with the brine on the bridges. This is also my last blog for the trip. I will take a couple of days to get to eastern KY to see my Dad, then return to home and wife in NC on Saturday.
