“I love Road Trips because they’re cheaper than therapy"... That has always been my mantra.
The laughter can be medicine for the soul.
One trip I realized I rode hundreds of miles just to have one of my first pictures of me conveniently sitting in in front of a Porta Potty. 😂
Gotta Love It!
The greatest part of a road trip isn’t arriving at your destination. It’s all the wild stuff that happens along the way.
The getting stuck in your truck because the door handles stopped working from the inside... Thank Goodness the windows were still operational! 😂
Or the time you rode by the Fountain Of Youth but you realize it's too late! 😂
Many times I have had the thought, I'm not in the middle of nowhere, but I can see it from here!”
Never the less I've heard it said, "Road trips are the equivalent of human wings. Ask me to go on one, anywhere.
I’ll stop in every small town and learn some of the history and stories, feel the ground and capture the spirit.
Then, I’ll turn it into my own story that will live inside my history to carry with me always... Because stories are more important than things."
This week I drove 435 miles just to grab my registration & license for my Ryker 900 three wheeler.
I found the closest one in Caruthersville, MO but the hotel I stayed in when I had to get a crucial document was in Hayti, MO.
Hayti was platted in 1894, when the railroad was extended to that point. According to one tradition, the name honors Dr. G. Hayes, an original owner of the site is also claimed the name is derived from the country of Hayti, the name of which was commonly spelled as "Hayti" prior to the twentieth century.
A post office called Hayti has been in operation since 1895.
Hayti also had been the place of several notable people...
*Veda Brown (née Mildred Pulliam Whitehorn), singer
*Lew Carpenter (1932–2010), NFL running back and coach, was born in Hayti
*Preston Carpenter (1934–2011), University of Arkansas and NFL running back, was born in Hayti
*Akela Cooper, screenwriter and television producer.
*Wendell Mayes, Oscar-nominated Hollywood writer, was born in Hayti
*William Moore, former Missouri Tiger and NFL Atlanta Falcons safety
*Keith Palmer, country musician
*Bob Stroger, blues musician
I'm Loving It On The Road...
