National Parks 2010 - Day01
Well we're a day late with the first days map and write-up.
We spent 3 hours trying to get the web page up and running
and
finally gave up and went to bed. We are using a new computer
and
running a new operating system as well as using new versions of 3
different programs that we use to create the web pages. I
tried
all of the pieces before we left to make sure they worked individually
but never actually created a completed web page. Ultimately the
problem ended up being with a beta version of the program I use to edit
the actual pages. I went back to a stable version and all is well
finally.
The ride
was pretty uneventful yesterday. I think the most interesting
thing we saw was a dead moose in the back of a pickup truck - at least
we think it was dead. Other than that, it was a pretty
typical
first day except for the fact that we didn't leave in the rain.
The weather started out nice and stayed nice all
day.
We
stayed in Coeur d'Alene with hundreds of other bikers. There
was
a HOG (Harley Owners Group) rally in town and there were Harleys
everywhere. You could pick us out easily - we were the ones
wearing helmets.
