Kerrville, Texas Warm-up Ride

It’s time to reveal the Motorcycle Momma Blog 2016 Annual Trip location.  This year we will be riding in August to San Diego, CA for the First Marine Division Association Reunion.  For those of you who don’t know, my husband Frank is a former Marine.  His Marine buddies actually gave me my road name, Wonder […]

Day 6 con’t – Two-thirds and Done Oh well – before we left for the canyon we checked the Weather Channel.  The temperatures in the Guadalupe Mountains down to Alpine, Texas and Big Bend are going to be in the 30’s for the next 2-4 days.  Frank checked the 10-day weather forecast before we left Houston […]
