This was one of those rare days I couldn't find someone to ride with. Seems like everyone had something going on and just couldn't pull it off, at least up north here!!

Anyway, I decided to take a ride and felt like Georgia would be a nice trip. Got on Google and looked for south Ga. attractions and found the Robbins AFB Aviation Museum, http://www.museumofaviation.org/. It is in Warner Robbins, just south of Macon.

It fit the bill perfectly. 300 miles each way, so that would be a nice day trip. I had to be back here early this evening so I knew once I arrived there I couldn't stay long. Since I wasn't sure how long it would take to get there, and having limited time, I only stopped twice each way, just to get fuel and chug down a water.

Left my house in Ocala at 6:00 this morning and took 27W to 129N. The museum sits directly on US129. It is very easy to find, and it is south of Warner Robbins a little, so traffic is of no concern that complete route either. A few small Ga towns, which I love cruising through, and the normal Florida ones along the route. Roads were all in very good condition also.

I arrived there at 11:30 with wonderful weather, very nice ride up. I won't bother with the details of the museum (you can get that from the link), other than to say I wish I had a FULL day to spend there. If you are into military aviation, or just history and the military in general, you are in for a treat. I am going back soon with more time to spend. It is absolutely awesome!

I only had an hour realistically to stay but that somehow worked into two!! All I can say about that is my wife was a very understanding person when I called! Anyway, dragging myself away and heading out around 1:30 and I got home a touch after 7:00PM. Dry except for the last 40 miles, and that was just light rain, so no problem there. Actually washed a lot of the bugs off!!

Sorry for the long post but I just wanted to share a great ride and a great destination. According to my GPS I logged 595 mostly dry miles! I think next time I will take my wife with me and we can spend the night there, that way we will have ample time to peruse the museum!!!!

 

Awesome report! Does my heart good to see someone had a good day in the wind, while I was working, Thanks for sharing!

 

Thanks for sharing. Great write-up. It's great to pick rides like that.

 

Never mind apologizing for the long post! If people don't wanna read it, they can skip it!
I for one like to read routes like that so I can get ideas of where to travel. I dig that kinda stuff but it's a tad too far for a N. Cuba hombre.
