Well, no it's not, but if you don't try it.........................

It's called the school of life. I am learning fast, but I want to do every lesson. :cheeky1:

Anyway, I will post about the run later. Dalph07 and Mrs Dalph are really good hosts and looking after me really well, Zorro is a good egg too. ;)

Here's me with Mrs Dalph07 :kissing:

Early the next morning, 06:30 am, Zorro was feeling better and was waiting on the bike while Hobo hit the snooze alarm just one more time before setting out for the firemans poker run.

Zorro has never officially introduced him to me yet but I know Hobo has been intorduced as I've seen them talking!  He's just an extra rider that was picked up around Devils Tower, Wyoming.:shock:

This officer said he was supposed to keep watch for a fun loving bear that liked to "take" rides on different bikes.  He didn't think Hobo had long enough legs to ride around and laughed at the idea!  I had to physically restrain Hobo who wanted to show this officer that laughed at him! :cheeky1::cheeky1::cheeky1: This was in Eureka Springs, Arkansas.

The poker run went well but no one won anything.  Hobo ended up with a two of Hearts, seven of Hearts, ten of Hearts, King of Hearts and..... a two of Diamonds! :P The high hand that I saw was a full house, Aces over three's.

We had a 2 hour wait till the Parade started so we looked at some other bikes and lined up.

We were pretty lucky, this year, and ended up near the front of the line.  Hobo liked  where we were at in the parade till we got started.  The guy on the bike in front of us was smoking a stogie and about made Hobo, Zorro, Mr. Moose and Mrs. Dalph sick so I had to get past him.:shock: Then it wasn't so bad.:grinner:

Hobo showed an interest in seeing a real "Indian" casino so Thursday we are taking him up to Missouri and over to Senica, Oklahoma.  He's a little young to pull the handles on the slot machines but really wanted to see a "Indian"!:goofygrin::goofygrin:

After this, Hobo will be needing another rider.  I will be willing to deliver within 100 miles of Northwest Arkansas on Saturday, October 13th.... Any takers?
Let us know.

Joe,

It looks like Hobo is spending the rest of the year exploring America and maybe a bit longer. He may get to other continents too.

I know that he is hoping to be back in Europe for the Welsh Meet n Greet and could probably get up to Scotland then - we will have to wait and see.

Like Hobo said - he's got plenty of time and life is an open road. :cool:

I knew there was a reason you and I get along, mate.  Think of it as saving up for your next meal.  It's unfortunate you don't have a beard, which provides extra storage. :cheeky1:

I'll be sure to bring my Tuxedo T-shirt to the Welsh meet-n-greet; then at least I can spill in style! :D  Good going, Hobo....keep up the happy travels, and try not to get arrested again, ok?  I was very sad to see you behind bars!  (A tourist nightmare!) :shock:
