Weather is crappy; wish I was on the road. Completed the route planning which will take us from the Lower Peninsula of Michigan to the U.P; then west through Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana (with a stop in Glacier National Park); then to Coeur d' Alene, Idaho and finally into Washington to meet up with Don Gentry, the Silent Service Motorcycle Club and other Submarine Sailors in the area. The way back will take us into Oregon, back through southern Idaho and Montana to Yellowstone and then east to Cody, WY and the Chief Joseph Trail up to Custer National Battlefield; then down to Sheridan Wyoming for a possible meet up with Ron Martini and then back east towards Mt. Rushmore, in South Dakota. There is an interesting photo taken from the backside (pun intended) of Mt Rushmore which is posted above. From there we will head south into Nebraska and then east through Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and finally back into Michigan for a ride through the Irish Hills and back home. If it all works out as planned it will take us 21 days to go almost 6,000 miles and visit 14 states (some of them twice).
At the completion of this trip I will have come close to visiting all 50 states plus the territories in my lifetime; New Mexico will have to wait for another time; maybe that will be the next ride?
