"Who's coming with me?"
This March I get out of the military and before I start a new job there are two things I must do.
1.) Go to Rio......Check, April 4-15
2.) Epic ride thru southwest.
There are two time frames I am able to go, the second half of March or after April 20th (maybe the 21st, the 20th is not a good day to be riding.). With May 10 being my no later than date.
The trip is about 3,800 miles in total and will take about 2 weeks. I plan on doing it as cheaply as possible......camping, Top Roman....you know the drill. However, if you prefer to class it up I can afford hotels too.
I would budget about $100 a day plus a set of new tries to be on the safe side.
Depending on when we leave will determine which mountain pass are accessible. The plan is to start south and once in NM cut west to the Grand Canyon. From there to Sequoia NP, North to Yosemite. West to San Fran then south on Hwy 1 for a bit until we cut west to Death Valley passed area 51 and thru Zion on the way to Page Az. Antelope canyon to Monument valley. Then if it is still early spring we keep south to 25 or if it is late May maybe head north to catch 70.

Any are welcome however a group of no bigger than 4 is the right size. Otherwise, it gets to crazy.
I know none of you know me yet but, baring the Zombie Apocalypse I will make this ride. You can count on that!
