• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

HERE'S THE PLAN

Pat (RT, fispyder) and I (F3-S, SPYD3R) are planning our X-Country ride... we'd like your help and or suggestions as to sites to visit or roads to take or avoid... AVOID being the key here...

we'll be leaving Greenville, SC on or about June 27th... our plan is to pick up Rt. 84 somewhere in Alabama, and follow it to our 1st hard-stop is Odessa, TX to visit with a friend of mine... from there, we plan to head over to NM for 2 hard-stop and visit Carlsbad then north to Roswell to visit my alien relatives... off to AZ and a hard-stop for me to visit with Glenn 'BIG BIRD' Johnson in Golden Valley, AZ... Pat will break off alone and head to Oxnard, CA to visit with his son... 5 - 7 days later, Pat and i will meet back up, and we'll head north-north-east thru UT and over to Yellowstone for another hard-stop for couple days... once we've enjoyed "Old Faithful" and the buffalo's, we'll ride east to Deadwood, SD for the SPYD3R gathering in July... from there - HOME... we figure about 4 weeks in the saddle...

If anyone can recommend good places to stop and visit; cities, sites, motels, restaurants, etc, please let us know... also, if you'd like to join us for a portion of our ride, you are more than welcomed to do so... whether it be 10 miles or 1000...

Cody, WY has some great roads,Hwy 13 from Yellowstone to Devils Tower is a great road, Devils Tower to Spearfish and take Spearfish Canyon Road towards Cheyenne Crossing, eat Indian Taco's at Cheyenne Crossing. Go N towards Deadwood, If you want to see Sturgis stay on 14A to Sturgis. After Sturgis go out main st which will be exit 32 on 94 head towards Van Ocker Canyon (one of my favorites in the hills) when you come to a stop sign take a left at Nemo, take that for about 10 miles till you see the sign for Johnson Siding, take a right there. Take that out to Hwy 44 and go right on 44 to 385 take a left towards Custer, stop at Mt Rushmore and Crazy Horse (I'd skip Crazy Horse, but that's just me). As you go through Hill City there will be a restaurant Alpine Inn, if it's supper time EAT THERE. Two items on the menu, large and small sirloin, makes my mouth water just thinking about it. At Custer tale a left towards Custer State Park, ride the Iron Mtn road, 17 miles, 314 curves,14 switchbacks,3 pigtails, 3 tunnels.
When you get to The Black Hills give a shout if you want some company.

Sounds like a great ride, I agree you must ride Spearfish Canyon and Vanocker Canyon. 16A near Rushmore is a great road. If you have time ride the Badlands.

+1 You can get there either from I90 exit 110 Wall and then go E thru the Park, or head out from Rapid City (near Rapid Honda, the Spyder dealer in town) on Hwy 44 out to Interior and then back on the Park road.
 
Chattanooga, TN??

If you come thru Chattanooga, holler at me. We could hit a couple of places. The Battlefield, Lookout Mtn. just to name a couple places.
 
I agree with everyone's suggestions, especially about Cody, WY. While you’re there, if you have time, you should visit the Buffalo Bill Center of the West along with the Cody Firearms Museum. If you like guns they have the largest collection I've ever seen. It used to be in the basement of the Center of the West but that was eons ago. These days it does cost extra to see the weapons but I feel it's worth it.

Enjoy the trip wherever you stop.
