Have done it several times with auto and bike. No itinerary, no planned route--all I usually have is a general area I want to get to before I turn around and head home. I use most of my vacation days doing just this sort of thing.

That's been my main plan since I was shipped over for the Viet Nam war. Think about it every day. One step at a time. Now I have my new Harley. It will happen.

I think about it more and more these days....sometimes can't keep my mind on work. I read Hog Tales and of I go in my mind to every place they write about. I hope to take a decent long ride this summer but it still won't be the kind I would really like to take...just ride and stop anywhere at any time. I wanted to do this since I saw Easy Rider back in 74-75.
