For any who are interested I have started a Travel Blog @ www.myspace.com/visionluke

It will document my trip from sunny Florida to sunny California via everything I can see while getting there. Such as (but not limited to): Sante Fe,NM ,the 4 corners, the painted desert, the grand canyon, hoover dam, the pacific ocean, the pch (pacific coast highway -for those that don't know), big sur, etc,etc.

Northwest of you

You don't happen to be travelling with Jim (Lobsterhunter) do you?

I noticed a "post" he made on the VMC, about taking a 3500 mile trip and that he was not lilking driving with the "trunk" on.

 

By the way, not to "hijack" this thread, but, do you guys that ride with your trunk on, notice it much.

I have mine off and only plan to use it for trips...........

You hang on in there Luke, you hang on. Since the boss can't get you no more, and you don't have to worry with shakin' the bushes, I hope we don't have a failure to communicate. I'm counting the days that I ride to see my son in South Texas. God Speed. Chris

May the Sun shine on your face, the storm clouds stay hunderds of miles away, and you have a trip of a lifetime. I've ridden many of the places you listed, and you will have a new understanding of what riding is all about after a trip like this one. Don't cut it short, truly enjoy the scenery, stay safe, but ENJOY!!

Any idea when you might be in the Grand Canyon State? If I'm home when you make it out here maybe we can get together and ride a few roads in Central AZ.

Ride Safe, Ride Often!!

Luke, you don't need a new truck. Just replace that 3.73 center section with a 4.10. Then add the chip and that baby will hummmm.

California Visioneers BEWARE !!! That Southern boy from Florida is in your midst. I'm in Buellton which is a little north of Santa Barbara.
Anyone up for a ride? I'll be around here 'til at least Sunday. (Will stay over if someone wants to ride on Sunday).
