Woke up this morning at about 7:30 with nothing to do and nowhere to go so I put on all my gear and headed out to the garage to get ready for a ride. I had no idea where I was going just knew I was going somewhere. Checked over the bike and added some air to the tires. All is well. 8:00 am and I’m on the road out of town and I hit Hwy. 34 out of Ennis, Tx headed east. East Texas is very green and pretty right now. Well, 122 miles later and I find myself at Tyler State Park. Tyler State Park is probably one of my most favorite places to go camping.
At the Entrance to Tyler State Park
I paid my $3 entrance fee and took a ride around the whole park and the lake. Went back to the swimming area to take a pit stop and to take some pictures and stretch the legs. What a pretty place. There were not very many people at the park as it had rained and stormed heavily last night. Looks like it washed/scared most of the campers out of the park. There were Several people and kids in the swimming area however and more arriving to spend the day.

After my brief visit at the Park I headed back to the Highway to find some more open roads. I chose to head back through Tyler, Tx to catch Hwy. 31 and head Southwest towards Ennis, Tx. I arrived home at about 12:30 pm and had a great ride. The temps were perfect early in the morning and only got up to 89 by the time I arrived home.
There is nothing like getting out and riding on our open roads and enjoying the sunshine and fresh air. Motorcycling is fun and very enjoyable and I can’t tell you how much I love my Gold Wing. She is a dream to ride. Always dependable and ready to go.
Till next time, See you on the road!
