Now for the big trip – cross country on route 50 and back by way of route 66! Since I live on the east coast, this trip will be 7000 miles adding a few sightseeing spurs like the Canyonlands National Park, the Redwoods in California, Death Valley, etc. This trip has been in the planning stage for over 2 years and it is finally going to happen in 67 days.
I have mapped the route a dozen times, there is a stack of maps on my desk and pages of information printed from the Internet. I watch gas prices and have checked on motel prices along the way so I can budget our costs. But still there is much to get done. The bikes must go in the shop. My husband rides a Gold Wing trike and this requires two different shops. Picked up the trike today from shop number 1. We need to make sure the tires will make it. Packing has been a question for some time but we have decided if we carry enough clothes for a week we can always do laundry at a motel. Bernie and Shirley will be our riding buddies again.
