We should have known, when I ran over a screwdrive in the road 5 miles from the house...that it was ON, and we were in for a fight. A car had hit the screwdriver in the road, spun it over to our lane, LHC through her mad driving skills  managed to not get screwed...and I on the other hand took it like a man and ran over it with the front tire. After a quick check everything was fine and the trip began. Great cruise down to Georgia, fair weather, cool temps, not much traffic....all seemed peaceful....was looking for our hotel and stopped for directions, while LHC was zipping up her coat, she caught her necklace in the zipper and in the process of trying to get it loose, lost the diamond pendant that I gave her for Valentines....so here I am in the corner of a busy parking lot crawling around on my hands a knees like some drunk trying to find his way home......no luck the diamond belongs to Stone Mountain. Round 1 - Stone Mountain. So...after checking in and assuring LHC that it was no big deal about the diamond, we grab us some quick grub at the steak house with our good friends Donna & Homer...off we go to the hell that became Stone Mountain (I should have been stoned....could have handled it better) Got some great pic...over 200, still sorting...once inside purchased a few items, grabbed us a seat and waited for the show. During the show our friend Donna all of a sudden could not find her glass pendants she had bought.....so here are all 4 of us scowering around on the boulders, looking in cracks and holes, while people are trying to watch the show....once again on my hands and knees.....(round 2 to Stone Mountain)...never did find the items Once we concieved that the items were gone, we prepared to head out, when all of a sudden I heard LHC declare....OH SHIT !!!!!....I can't find my key....("wait...did she just say...can't find her key")...so here we are now holding lighter to ground walking around looking for 1 bike key on a purple racoon tail.....panick stricken and pissed that once again I am down on my hands and knees .......No Luck....Round 3 to Stone Mountain. Back at the rides trying to figure out what move to make...was damn sure not leaving the bike there......Lost and Found.....No Help......saddle bags empty....no luck.....recheck all pockets for key.....NO DAMN LUCK........having a friend whose 2005 custom key fits your 2007 L ignition...........PRICELESS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So once we remembered how to breathe again....we decided to run back to the hotel room, hide out, get up early in the morn, and run as fast as we could with our tail between our legs back to NC.......... But you know what ???????? Isn't that what the ride's all about......the adventure. Ride Safe People....and watch out for Stone Mountain. OLH & LHC
