    I will work on that post with times and dates as I finalize the plans. Right now I head out of Vermont on June 7th and plan to roll back on June 28th...

      June is my birthday month...and your roll back date is my birthday!

      I sent you a PM. My birthday lands on a weekend...might be able to get away but need a KP (Kitchen Pass) from the wife.

        I live about 30 minutes south of Nashville. If you need anything while you're in the area, you're welcome to my garage. Or a free overnight in the guest room if needed.

          Looks exciting, Man!

          I see you got dots in Chicago land enroute to Wisconsin. I suppose the dots in Chicago are some destination you got in mind. (In my planning, I would avoid Chicago otherwise.)

          Michigan: If your plans change and do go thru Michigan, let me know. Am directly west of Grand Rapids. Perhaps you might want to experience the cross lake ferrys to Wisconsin. The "fast" ferry (hydroplane) is about 20 miles north of here.

          Utah: I see one of your routes goes thru COlorado, and the pother one doesnt, but both go thru Utah. If you are considering any National park, my recommendation would be Zion in southwest Utah. You can ride thru a large portion of it and see grand things from the road. Other parks cant see all that much from the road, Bryce is the worst for not seeing much of anything from the road.
          I can recommend a hostel near Zion if you are interested to stay there a couple nights. But that is kinda close to Hurricane, home of a fine GSR member that could pop in here.

          San Diego:
          What area of SanDiego? Ive been riding there 8 times in last 5 years.
          I can point out many good rides in the canyons and mountians to the east and northeast of SanDiego. You will want a few days there.

              Dave (Redman) mentioned some National Parks. You might want to look at getting a season pass if you plan on going through any of them.

              Staying on the big road won't incur any charges, but if you hit the two-lane roads through the park, the admission feels REALLY add up quickly.

                  Justin, let me know as things get closer. I do have my two sons gradations in June (high school , middle school), but I think I'm fairly free otherwise.
                  If you swing thru during the week, I'll plan to take a day off.

                    For the desert - Get a camelbak. It's really tough to stay hydrated when it gets 100 and past.... Stopping every 180 miles won't cut it. I used to stop every 80 odd miles & down a gatorade at each stop.
                    You can get a cooling vest and wear it under a standard jacket with vents open. Dries out too quick under mesh.

                            California Desert:
                            When you are zipping along, on long wide open stretch of road, and see what looks like the heat ripples (some one of my age thinks of Buggs Bunny seeing mirages) in the distance.....

                            .....I had that experience, CA 93 en-route to Vegas, 75-80-85mph, see something shimmering -moving on the road surface up ahead, think it is heat ripples so keep going full speed ahead ... it was sand blowing across the road, and, I dont know, couple inches deep, Yikes, that was quite an experience running thru that at 60-70mph.

                              Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light...
