It is going to be an adventure

[Wiredux]

The wife and I are getting ready to start her first cross country on the RT. We will be riding two up for almost 2900 miles. We will be headed out on Wednesday around 5:00 AM and headed to either Springfield, MO or Trinity, TX. We have yet decided on what direction first. It is all depending on when we are getting the 2014. I know we will be in TX on Saturday so that might be the direction we start off in. We will be running the SPOT Tracker the entire way if anyone wants to follow along. I am a little worried as this will be her first. Just hope she enjoys it as much as I do. We will see.

Just remember to stay focused on your end goal and don't get tempted to wander around to much, so you don't get stranded and/or deviate from your original plan too much.

ADVENTURE

Wow, when you mentioned Trinity, TX it reminded me of my Spyder trip to Crockett, TX in June for a buddies reunion. Was born in Crockett and have been to Trinity many times. Hopefully your trip will be much cooler. I was riding in the 90's on my trip llast June. Be safe and have fun!

While in TX

I plan on locating this and taking a picture of it with my Spyder. It is located in Trinity, TX


Just your regular, neighborhood Hellraiser Pinhead. It's the work of artist Jim Robertson -- commissioned and originally displayed elsewhere, the 21-ft. tall sculpture, "Wildman," was inspired by an 18th century German costume.

Sounds like you in for a great trip. Ride safe and keep an eye on weather systems this time of year. You don't want to get caught in a storm like they had in Rapid City, SD. :thumbup:

So it looks like we are headed to TX First. We will be leaving Jacksonville, NC and traveling through Lumberton NC, Camden SC, Augusta GA, Covington GA, Birmingham AL, Livingston AL, and spending the night around Meridian MS. Then headed out again traveling through Newton MS, Edwards MS, Monroe LA, Shreveport LA, Carthridge TX, Lufkin TX and arrive in Trinity TX.

This will cover the first 2 days of our trip

Have a Safe and worry free ride. From the map looks like you will go through Greenville, Texas. If you need anything, great dealer and service there at Louis Powersports.
Danny the service manager can get you taken care of. Open Monday through Saturday.

Stopped for a quick bite to eat. Pretty happy with the MPG riding two up.
