Wasn’t it the Temptations who made a tune with the title “I’ve Got Sunshine On A Cloudy Day” popular back in the ’60s? I know the tune was about “my girl,” but I will take the title to how I was feeling on a motorcycle ride that I led for my club on Sunday.

This past weekend finds me really busy. Last-minute change has me making adjustments.
The most surprising and interesting last-minute change was from the company that will be renting me a Harley when I get to Utah. The rental facility representative wrote to me and said,

I had a spectacular ride with my cousin on Saturday — some 200+ miles (322+ km) of smiles and only one (count ’em) U-turn! The sun was bright and the Maryland sweet corn was as high as…

As I am planning for a Crazy-Awesome adventure with my buddy “S”, riding Harleys through the The Mighty 5 Great National Parks of Southern Utah (Arches, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, Bryce Canyon and Zion), and also being quite the preparedness planner, I have thought through our plans, including the riding gear and boots. Wanna know what “S” and I are planning?
