Harley Man, Weary Traveler

He left Texas heat mirages for Wyoming snow

Glided thousands of miles along highways that cut through flatlands and rose into the Rocky mountains

Rode beside herds of antelope and prong-horned deer

Held little Haila, his newborn granddaughter

(named for the grandmother watching her from heaven)

Celebrated Father's Day with his new-father son

Climbed Independence Rock

Felt the sting of hailstones in a black Panhandle thunderstorm

Ventured downhill on a rocky, caliche road to see his little sister (me)


That's "vacation" for a Harley Man

    Barbara, Donny looks so much like your father in these pics. Although, I never saw your dad near any motorcycles, Donny is a spittin’ image of him. Donny should be proud, you dad is a nice man with a gentleness to him. The only thing I would suggest, is that Donny get a Gold Wing, hehe.

    I don't think that's gonna happen, Bob! lol But you're right, he looks so much like my dad, doesn't he? And I don't remember ever seeing my dad near a bike, either.

    He is certainly a pretty awesome guy! He traveled miles and miles on the road just to visit you at Wyoming. Good thing he had a Harley to accompany him, it is surely great for endurance riding. A vacation like that is truly amazing! Traveling day and night just to get to you is certainly heartwarming.
