Looking at driving to Michigan from Cali to tear down and salvage a barn with a buddy, and then maybe down to Georgia to visit family, expensive but not working right now and need something to do.

It does? I used to run all over northern IN (where they build them) and all they ever did was get in the way.

An RV on I-95 means someone to pass, a convoy means a 10 mile long traffic jam.

Being I'm still in my first year in Nebraska I want to hit the shows. I'm missing the rodeo at the Nebraskaland days, or so I heard, right now. I have a friend that's in with the Nebraska Tractor Test Museum people that helps set up the antique tractors, he's getting packed up to head to Albert Lea, MN, for the red power round-up right now.

yeah 92 smokin', we start thru south east oregon for a few days at lake owyhee, for some agate rock hounding, and dualsport motorcycle riding, a little boating, then our plan is to hit the idaho 20 to craters of the moon monument, and next an interesting stop at the idaho national engeneering lab, they built the first operational nuclear reactor back in the late fourties, and you can do a self guided tour through it, ever heard of it? from there, well continue to the north west entrance to yellowstone, ive been there a couple times, my buddy has not seen it, well skirt the edge of your stomping ground heading south passed the tetons, jackson lake, to pinedale, through cora, and up to the green river source, green river lakes campgound, a beautiful spot that scared us away with thunder storm snow in august a few years to back, an excellent trout spot. well pass thru around the 28th, then its south to moab, for a good off road stint.

Yeah, sometimes. Down around Cheyenne I think.

I'll be making a trip down to Denver to pick up a scooter on my next days off. Hopefully my truck will be out of the shop by then.

Yep I've been to the craters of the moon before, kinda neat but its out in the middle of nowhere. And Yes INEL, or they might have changed their name to INL now I'm not sure, my brother worked there for a while a few years back. Yeah you'll be just north of me a little bit going through Jackson and past the tetons, those are pretty neat, from on top of the mountains by my house you can see the tetons if there isn't a lot of clouds.That sounds like a really neat trip! A lot of stuff to see and sounds like a lot of fun!

I know a couple guys who live over by Cheyenne. Sometime this summer or fall once I get the truck done up a little bit I'll have to swing up there. Haven't seen WY in about 6 years now.
