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.

If you pass thru Utah on I70 stop in Green river Utah at Ray's Tavern,great steaks and burgers. I don't drink either so you're on your own for anything other then water or soda.

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

Trip is going great. Been to the Badlands, Custer State Park, Crazy Horse and Mount Rushmore. Weather has been good so far. Also not much traffic. Did take a helicopter tour of Rushmore and Carzy Horse. There are a lot of great roads here. Headed to Sturgis and Deadwood tomorrow. More to come

Due to having to haul my dialysis equipment and solutions with me, I trailer the Spyder to an area and spend 4-5 days riding the roads and parks and then move to the next location. I will go through about 1300 pounds of dialysis solution in a month. On short 7 day trips I can just hook my trailer and go.
