Default Who's planing a long trip this summer?

We are talking more then 1,000+ miles one way.

Wife and I would love to back to Sturgis this year again, but finances do not look good for us

I'm headed to Wyoming this July. Taking a week and a half to do some sightseeing and attend the WY HOG rally.

The rally is in Lander. After the rally I'm headed to Pinedale and then up through the tetons and yellowstone. I'm worried about the weather - I was going to take my light leather jacket, should I pack chaps or can I get away with long underwear and heavy jeans?

Yellowstone is going to be a revolving door of Forum Members [8D]

Hubby and I are taking 2 weeks around the Pacific Rally....total I think we will ride somewhere around 3000 miles with the Rally rides. For the 3rd year in a row we are doubling the the milage for our vacation.... I think I need more vacation time to go much farther [&:]

Here's the generalized route so far: Vacation route

Bluerose... Just checkin out your route... On Hwy 20 just north of Macks Inn, hang a left on 87, take that around Henry's Lake and head up to Hwy 287. My family has a place about 1.5 miles from the 87/287 junction...Hang a right and ride along Quake lake ( a sight to see) and then Hebgen lake.... The stretch from Quake to Hebgen is stunning... when you get to 191 hang another right to head into West... It only adds roughly 60 miles and I guarantee it'll be worth it... I ride up there every year aroundthe fourth... When are you gonna be up there?

If you wait out the cold mornings, then the Tetons will be nice. They can have very cold mornings up there.We hit 34 degrees last August at 9am.

My son is being called up in the Reserves as a Drill Sergeant, so I'm going to ride to Georgia to go see him.
