Coast to Coast trip

[Deanna777]

Picked up my last two states yesterday and added two more to Ellies list before heading North to Vermont. It looks like the weather may improve a bit and we are ready for some sunshine. The country roads are in fair shape and the bikes are appreciating that as they have taken a pounding on Hwy 20 sometimes.

I managed to follow the little yellow trailer to Boston yesterday,the weather has started to get better and that makes for a more enjoyable ride, we are going to swing south today and ride through Road Island and Connecticut so I can cross the last two states off my list. Then we plan on heading north to Bluenight country where we want to ride to the top of Mt. Washington. Boston is not my kind of fun but a great place to say you’ve been there.We found the sign by our hotel and I wanted to run the bikes up on the sidewalk and take a photo but the Executive committee vetoed the idea and won so we talked a passing native into taking our photo.

Great stuff - thanks for all your posts - glad you and your wife made it safe and sound - good luck on your trip back!

Yes, I enjoyed it as well, I wanted to see how the RTs performed and apparently they both did a really good job, especially the one pulling the camper. Well done....

Consider getting the Annual Senior's Pass for the National Park System. I recall $80 for the year and it gets access for the bike and both passengers. Unlimited across USA, and unlimited in numbers of time you may want to ride any particular Park. A fabulous discount for Seniors.

The senior pass costs $80 but is good for the rest of your life. It dosent expire after a yr. Iv had mine 3 yrs an its still good. If your under 62 years old you can buy a pass thats good for 1 yr for $80. At 62 years old you buy the senior pass thats good for life.
yes I bought mine for $10 dollars right before the price hike to $80

I bought the senior pass when they were $10.00 . We have been riding the wonderful state of Vermont for the last 4 days with Mike Long (BlueKnight911) he has been treating us like VIPs I will post photos when I get some WiFi to my I pad we get back on the road tomorrow or Wednesday and head for Corning NY before Niagara Falls

Coast to Coast and Vermont

We have been living large in Vermont thanks to the great hospitality from Mike Long. He has led us on some fantastic rides and even to the top of Mt. Washington in New Hampshire . We hate to leave the great weather but it’s time to head to Wisconsin. We will remember Vermont thanks to Mike.

As I posted in another Thread - they just left Vt. and are headed to Buffalo / Niagara Falls, Dave was thinking three days to get there …. Their plan was to go into Canada and take the Mackinaw bridge across the Lake..... His cell phone should work now that they are out of Vt., so I'm sure He will see your post and add info …. you could leave Him a PM also …… Mike hyea:

We will be heading through Green Bay from the North sometime between the 20-22nd heading up to Door County .

We left Vermont and headed west to New York, crossed over the Champlain bridge and up over the Adirondacks which are beautiful. We ended up in Middleville where Ellie could check out the Herkimer diamonds and buy some souvenirs.

Coast to Coast New Youk

We made it Corning after riding in the rain all day and when we stopped for a room it stopped raining, we were close to the Corning Glass Museum so we walked, I had been there before but I really wanted Ellie to see it. They have glass that goes back 4,000 years.

 

[easysuper]

Made it to Niagara Falls then stopped for the night in Saint Catharines, we may lay over a day and check out the wine country. We did manage to find some pretty good Poutine.

 

[Woodaddict]

How about that top of Mt Washington! Big chains holding down the house up there. Recorded 256 mph winds. Highest ever on earth, I think. Was there on Spyder 2 yrs ago.

Love the pics and experiences you're sharing! Only Bacon bits could make that poutine look any better!
