One afternoon about twenty years ago, I was taking my daughter to her gymnastics class on my Nighthawk. She was probably eight at the time. We were on a rural highway, and I was going to get gas on the way. I ran out about a mile short of the station. A lady in a pickup immediately stopped and gave us a ride to the station and back. I had to buy one of those gas cans. When she dropped us off back at the bike, I offered her some money. She refused to take any. I didn't have any way to carry the can on my bike so I said, "Well, here's a free gas can" and gave it to her.then a hike where a bought this little jerrycan
I couldn't resist
That looks like some good riding area there. I've never seen of heard of the Nada tunnel until today. It's on my must see list now.Last week I rode up to Red Ri er Gorge in Kentucky
About 3.5 hours up from my home.
Beautiful morning with the clouds in the valleys. I stopped at the lookout on Benge's Gap and took pictures.
Nada tunnel, to get into the Red River Gorge, was hand dug using steam drills, dynamite and shovels in 1910-11. 900 ft long and 12 ft wide. One man killed trying to thaw frozen dynamite next to the fire.
Nice ride up and back, and nice road through the Gorge.![]()
