It's all about sharing the road with brothers. This year we're renting a cabin and riding up again, my wife's going with this year. We also have a BIG *** toy hauler...maybe one day, I'll take it. It sure is nice to have your own **** when you go somewhere!

I get the time table you're dealing with...Have you thought about shipping them to someplace in the middle? Fly there and ride some of the way, rally up, then ride back to the midway point and fly home.

We take four days to ride up and three back (1,500 mi one way). Last year we went through Colorado and went up Pikes Peak. This year, we're going through Topeka Ks and seeing the Evil Knievel Museum. Hell, we might even stop and see the Corn Palace in Mitchell, SD. Who knows...someone might want to detour and go see the largest ball of twine.

It's your trip, do with it what best works for you. Have fun!

I'd skip that place and keep heading east to Austin MN and the SPAM museum.
