*** To place this in context and view the timeline, begin by clicking on 'About This Blog' *** Wednesday, 21November 2012 As is my nature, I now have the system of packing and loading the bike down to a science. On this morning as I was pushing the bellman's cart to the bike, one of the Eureka Inn residents asked, "where are you headed today"? I responded, "North".
