Another Ride In The Sun


 The oven is ON in the south! 
With the temperature in the upper 90's by early in the day, we rode over to Paducah, KY. 
The Harley shop in Paducah is another unique shop designed for the area with which it resides. 
The name of the shop is Four Rivers Harley Davidson and resembles a steam boat. 

T his shop is really fun to visit.  It has an extensive retail space with a large inventory of all things Harley.  I always find things here that I have never seen at any other Harley shop.  The employees are extremely helpful and really act as if they are happy to be there.  On this visit, even though they were obviously busy, we were able to get the oil changed in our bike and back on the road in a reasonable amount of time.
Although the heat is on - the landscape remains green!


 
 The roads are simply lush with the color green.  Many of the roads appear more narrow due to the growth of the trees and bushes.  When the sun is hot, these shaded roads are a Godsend!



 



I was able to catch a few more barns as we rode along.



 The Kentucky dam was flowing at a good rate as we rode by.  At this point, the river is actually flowing north, which seems so very strange.  However, as it rounds the bend, it goes back to the normal flow and heads south once again.
There still seems to be plenty of water in the small ponds.

We ended up cutting the day short and retreating back to the air conditioned comfort of our home.   Yes, we have become total wuss'!  And I'm 'OK' with that!
