Day 3 - Wilmington DE to Annapolis MD

Sorry about the sporadic updates.  Long days and intermittent internet access...

Another early morning start today, with everyone anxious for less wind.  Liked seeing the slack flags at today's take off point.    
After briefly disrupting Wilmington's morning rush hour, we headed south out of Delaware, passing by the New Castle, DE Public Safety complex along the way.  Always a nice showing of support from New Castle.

Heading into the rural roads of Maryland.


Once again, the David Lokey Center near Elkton, MD, played host for our morning break. The center provides  services for disabled adults.  




One of the clients was especially excited to the see the motorcycles, 
so one of our Motor officers showed off his PUT Harley.


Back on the road with the winds picking up a bit.  

The Galena Fire Department let us take over again for another lunch break.  They've got a nice back yard for a picnic.

Lunch was followed by a little nap
Then back on the road, rolling past the Michael Nickerson Memorial in Centreville, MD.  Nickerson and Queen Anne's County Sheriff Deputy Jason Schwenz were shot and killed responding to a noise complaint in 2001.  

After a short break near the Queen Anne's County Fallen Heros Memorial, we rode on to Stevensville.  We loaded up the bikes and boarded busses for a ride over the Chesapeake into Annapolis for the night.
