In short we got to Chattanooga Tenn at 3:00 Pm on Tuesday. This is were my live change. From that day i know i was were i should have being in 1977 if i had made this trap them i would not have had to go there what i have for all of these yrs. But by the help of Danny and the others with RFTW group made me feel like i was somebody and not a number thank GOD for you people. As we started the trip started in Tenn and we got to Knoxville Tn. Got gas i was thanking how the hell did we get all of these bike gas up so fast. 22 min. to gas 380 bikes. Then we stop in a town in Greenville Tn to gas and then stop in Bristol Harley Davidson to eat and rest for about 2 hours and then on to Wytheville Va for lunch and spend the night. I was ready for this from the heat and trip with watching everything going out. After I eat I went to the room and set down call home for a bit. Then I was thinking what am I going to do when I get to DC. Well it Thursday morning at 5am going to eat and road meeting at this time. We meet at the meeting ground where the kids put on a play for us. I had so many tears and cried so hard I could not taLK AND THEN TO A SCHOOL AGAIN. DON’T REMEMBER THE NAMES SORRY ANYWAY MORE TEARS.
