OK. So I was told the forum is the best source of info for finding the good stuff.
A friend and I are going a 25ish day ride from Louisiana to the West Coast. Our goal is to hit the Salton Sea area as fast as possible. Ride 800+ miles days for the first couple of days to get there fast. We consider that the start of the trip. I am going to list the cities we would like to hear about routes in between or around. If you have some or know of some must see places please let me know.
Salton Sea to San Diego (Oceanside specifically)? We are going to spend a day in Oceanside getting some new tattoo's.
Oceanside to Hover Dam?
Las Vegas to and through Death Valley?
Death Valley to and through Sequoia National Park?
Sequoia to and through Yosemite National Park?
Yosemite to Carson City?
Carson City/Reno to Bonneville Salt Flats?
Salt Lake City into CO bypass into WY maybe then into CO???
Gunnison area to Duragno?
Durango to 4 corners to Grand Canyon area?
Northern and central New Mexico routes?
Unless there is a unique hotel or BB or cabin we are observing a no hotel policy this trip. So if y'all know of any camping areas along the routes please share. We regularly sleep at churches, fire stations, and truck stops on our trips East, but we don't know how friendly the people out West are with a couple of deep south guys camping on the back porch.
We are mainly just looking to go for a ride and wonder from place to place, but I know they have some neat sights to see out west and I hate to drive 100 yards to the left of something and never see it.
We have Gamin GPS's too in case you would like to send over some maps... Also if you would like GPS info for LA/MS and some nice rides in AR or Smokey mountain Nation Park area I will be glad to share. If you are in to Dual Sporting I have tons of dirt roads and cut through areas marked and some nice cross country dual sport adventures on GPS.
Thanks,
Kenny
