7-5 Rock and Roll Forever, Yes Sir, Yes Sir.

This day is to Bill and Angie Baker.

Sandusky, Ohio,o,o,o on hwy 5 to Geneva-on-the-Lake, Ohio,o,o,o on hwy 5 just miles apart. I do not care for the city travel so I lift through the bigger cities. We left the KOA in Sandusky and beat it on to Cleveland (Hummm! That’s a familiar name!) Man! What a large place that one is but we cruised on to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame like we’d been on auto pilot. The traffic was really lite and we left camp at 0800 and parked next to the Hall at 0930. 1000hrs the doors opened and we were in and going for it. Wow! What a place. The first thing we saw parked out front was the Tour Bus of Johnny Cash! He traveled in that rig for the last 20yrs of his career. The JC1 was black and polished alum. After we went thru the museum we were able to actually tour through the bus and I had my picture taken sitting in the drivers seat. What a thrill. Made me feel like singing a song. John sold the bus a couple of months after June passed away and the folks that bought it donated it to the hall of fame after John passed away. Sooooooooo Coooooooooool!!!!! We spent 5 solid hours in the museum and scurried thru 6 floors of neat stuff. There were just about all Gibson and Fender guitars that all of the groups used. Could have spent a lot more time if you wanted to read every detail, Man, so awesome.

We followed the Erie Lake on hwy5 to Geneva-on-the-Lake and found a state campground where we landed for the nite. Tom Gimmarro and his sons, Nicolas and Bryce, were riding their bikes by and we started chatting and I adjusted the cables on their bikes so that they would shift a little better. Tom and his wife work for the Ford Motor Co. in Mich and he is looking forward to being able to retire next year and do a lot of traveling. Hope all works out for you Tom. We exchanged blogs so that we can track each other. More rain through the nite but before we sacked out I sat out and watched them fireflies. They are soooo coooool.

Angie is my niece via my sis, Janice, and her husband is Bill Baker. Bill is a retired sheriff from central Ca. and works at the Mill Bay Casino at Manson, WA. Angie works for her brother Matt and his wife Carlene who have a flagging business. They have a home in Omak, WA. They like riding his Harley and Bill is into gold panning. They are fun to be with and we enjoy them when we are up north.
