    Default Western Trip - 2018

    Headed out next week on my annual western trip. First stop South Dakota, then Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and back to Georgia. Planning on being gone about a month. Looking forward to visiting many National Parks along the way. Hope to see some of you on the road.

    Been to South Dakota and Wyoming by bike, from Michigan and still want to go west again, hopefully in August. Years ago my neighbor moved to New Mexico. We would fly out there annually and he would pick up
    my wife and I at the airport. Lots of sweet roads and scenery out there. Flew out there one year and drove a car home that we bought out there. We took the long way home from Southern New Mexico and into Colorado. Some day im going back there on the bike, dammit.

    I know I'm going to enjoy it but I'm sure I'll be ready to get back to Georgia after a month on the road.

    We made a coast to coast trip last year, Massachusetts to California and like you we used the National Parks to guide our travels. The Iron Butt Association has a National Park Tour certificate, if you are so inclined. >>> http://www.ironbutt.com/themerides/npt/

    Essentially the NPT is capture 50 parks, memorials, battlefields, in 25 states using the cancellation stamps you get at the visitor centers.



    Good luck and have a blast and safe trip
