For the past few months I've been wanting to take a vacation of some sort. While I had a few potential plans with friends, those all fell through. While sitting on my couch meditating on life, the universe, and everything on Sunday, it came to me: crazy motorcycle road trip! Jesse's not the only one who gets to do these things.
It's perfect. I love road trips. I've wanted to do one on a motorcycle for years. I want to go see friends of mine in various parts of the country. It's been close to two years since I've done any kind of real road trip. Yep, perfect. This is what I'm going to do.
This is the general plan: I will depart Williamsport, PA probably on Friday, July 25th after work and that will be the beginning of it. I am taking two full weeks, with the expectation of getting back home on Sunday, August 3rd. This trip will take me from here to California and back, north on the way there, south on the way back. It will include Osh on the way out, even better. The tentative schedule is as follows:
July 25th: Williamsport, PA -> Chicago, IL
July 26th: Chicago, IL -> Oshkosh, WI (EAA AirVenture - awesome airshow)
July 28th: Oshkosh, WI -> Ames, IA -> Omaha, NE
July 29th: Omaha, NE -> Fort Collins, CO
July 30th: Fort Collins, CO -> Boise, ID
July 31st: Boise, ID -> San Francisco, CA
August 2nd: San Francisco, CA -> Los Angeles, CA (Pacific Coast Highway)
August 4th: Los Angeles, CA -> Phoenix, AZ
August 5th: Phoenix, AZ -> Grand Canyon -> Albuquerque, NM
August 6th: Albuquerque, NM -> Dallas, TX
August 7th: Dallas, TX -> Oklahoma City
August 8th: Oklahoma City -> Missouri Somewhere -> Jasper, IN
August 9th: Jasper, IN -> Williamsport, PA
Yes, it's a tight schedule, but compared to the sorts of road trips I'm used to doing, it's actually not bad. I've got a number of stops planned already.
While on this trip, I'd like to get the chance to meet anyone on here who'd like to get lunch with some yuppie hippie on a motorcycle and likes to fly planes. If you're on the route (or off it) and interested, let me know!
