Gotta love the locals!! With some help from some fellow motorcycle riders along the Great River Road we set off on the motorcycles and explored Chester, IL - river boats, Popeye the Sailor Man, Liberty Bell of the West and a covered bridge from 1854 - pretty awesome!
Great riding on the Mississippi River Road.

@debbiejohnson1441
@debbiejohnson1441 2 года назад
A trivet is either silicone or wire. You place in in the pot of a instapot or cast iron skillet to minimize the contact od the food to the heat source. It allows the meat to stay out of the we source at the bottom of the pot or pan. Or it keeps the food of the bottom of the pot or pan to keep it from scorching or burning. They come in all shapes sizes and or heights. If you have a instapot you might have one that came with it. Sorry I took pictures of some but can't import into this. Go to instapot trivet and it will show you some. Amazon. Very handy. You can also use them to see hot pots and pans on. I use mine also on my Blackstone with a dome to cook cinnamon rolls and biscuits. Takes a few minutes longer but better than heating up the camper. Usually I carry my airfryer. But if not I improvise. You do need to lower the heat and if you have a heat gun reader. You can adjust it to around 350 degrees. Not exactly on 350 but close enough.

The secret to eating pawpaws is hold it with your first 4 fingers and squish the meat out of the skin as you eat it cause the skin sucks, but the inside is awesome and you don't wanna mix them and you can't actually peal it cause its to much like a banana and will just turn to mush as you handle it. Its best to look for the ones in the creek thats already turned purple. Only problem with that is that you'll step on a hundred trying to find one where they look like river rocks once they rippen and turn purple. Worth it tho, they actually starting to get harder and harder to find around here sadly

A bit of trivia regarding covered bridges. They were fairly common in areas with severe winter weather where roads had to cross rivers, so New England and central and eastern Canada. They were first built in the nineteenth century by engineers who designed coverings to protect the structures from the effects of the weather. More than 10,000 covered bridges were built across the United States between 1805 and the early twentieth century. Covered bridges are frequently called "kissing bridges". They are called kissing bridges because people inside the bridge cannot be seen from the outside, making them good places to kiss discreetly.

As always, I enjoyed the ride. It warms my heart that you are not afraid to try "Naturally sourced" food. (paw-paws). They are sweeter if allowed to fall off the tree. Color will be yellow with a little brown, no green showing. It will be sweeter and the inside will be almost like a custard. Might write a pamphlet on the art of paw-paw consumption! Thanks for the ride.

Change is good. Looking forward to seeing what your new mobile sanctuary will be like. Any sneak peeks? :) And it's never the heat, guys. 90s in the southwest WITHOUT THE HUMIDITY is VERY comfortable. It's the humidity that sucks. And mosquitoes LOVE humidity to boot. Enjoy your mobile senior years and stay away from the dreaded humidity. :)

Gotta say it: Being born in Alexandria, La. I grew up not knowing 90-degree heat and. 90-degree humidity was how everyone lived. thought nothing of it...until I spent three years in Illinois and came back to my home town in the summer. Spent the first night in A/C, walked out in suit and tie into an August made in Hell. It was like walking into a sauna going full blast. Instant wilt! The Army sent GIs to Alexandria before sending them to Vietnam -- so they could pass out from the heat in the U.S.

I'm from Louisiana, currently living in Michigan. Totally loving you adventures. Especially anything along the Mississippi river. BTW - There is a covered bridge in Michigan that you can ride through. Super Cool! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallasburg_Bridge

Great video on Chester and the surrounding area. Bob and I were going to drive down there last August to see and chase the UP Big Boy Steam Engine with friends but unforeseen circumstances popped up and we couldn’t go. But seeing your video has me wanting to check it out on the bikes for sure. Looking forward to what is next for you. Thinking toy hauler or trailer to sleep in and haul the bikes. That is what we want to do come Bob’s retirement. Hoping you are going to get a break this Christmas and spend some time with your boys. Be safe..

That motorcycle camper tent that you call Ruby are very nice but very hard to find. I thought I found one but when I went to look at it it was not the exact same thing that you guys have darn the bad luck.

I think Richard was done with Ruby when she drug him backwards down that hill... ;-) Loved me some Popeye growing up, here in Atlanta we had the TV show the Popeye Club w/Officer Don. I was on that show as a kid, good times. So what's next RV, toy hauler, sail boat come on the suspense is too much.
@TwoWheelsBigLife
@TwoWheelsBigLife 2 года назад
I don't think having Ruby drag me backwards was the catalyst. It was probably the weather more than anything. Whatever comes next, just know that the bikes will always be the main focus of our channel - we just love riding.

So it sounds like a BIG change is in store for you two. Not sure I'm ready for this! Lol It sure has been fun watching your adventures! By the way, Chester Illinois is my old stomping grounds. Camped on top of the hill where guys are. What did you think of the twisties getting up and down from there. It was so cool seeing the roads you were on and of course I know them very well. Good luck to you, and whatever is next.

Thanks Dennis. We loved those twisty roads. Glad this brought back memories for you.

I have enjoyed watching your adventures, but when you where in St. Mary’s if you would have gone about 20 miles south in Missouri you could have gone to the Vietnam memorial wall outside of Prairieville Missouri

Weather looks nice, but cold outside when watching this. Could you tell us the date it was recorded to give us some idea?
@TwoWheelsBigLife
@TwoWheelsBigLife 2 года назад
This was recorded late fall. Our videos run behind for us to balance life/work. But we're working hard to get them more current. By January we should be much closer to where we actually are. We just had too much fun and recorded a lot more videos than we expected to. The GRR is an amazing route.

Maybe you guys can make it to central New York next year. There are a lot of covered bridges still being used for traffic. Hope to meet you on the road someday. Ride safe. God bless!

The sign about the covered bridge speaks of "caster oil and I believe that it is spelled CASTOR oil. Also it is SNEAK peek not SNEEK. Ha ha.
