Re: [ST] long trip suggestions

Otterboy,
Piece of cake! I spent 24 days on the road from SoCal last year, and I'm
sure 10 of them had no fwd movement (ridin' around the good spots). Spent 3
days at the races in Monterey, an overnighter in Yosemite (still in CA) a
night in Utah then off through CO (no slab here) and ended up in Kansas that
night. Next morn took off for Arkansas and spent 3 days there (awesome roads
in the north) just slummin', screwed around through Tenn. 'cuz it was so
hot, but once I got to the Smokey's bliss set in. Did the Dragon, and up the
Blueridge to Natural Bridge where I spent 3 days just roaming around. What
I'm trying to say is 20 days is more than enough to get into trouble, and I
never did more than 750 mi. in a day. What I've discovered in all my
travelling is that the more people you travel with (unless the leader is a
long distance freak) the fewer miles you'll go, when you're on your own it's
easy to do miles on the Sprint.
Have a terrific trip,
                                    Jim
