Talking Our standing on the corner tour this past spring

Wanted to share a compiled clip of 3500 mile, 10 day trip my brother and our wives shared this past spring. Notice that this was pre-harley for me. I enjoyed looking at that HD of my brothers all those miles that I bought me a big'ol nasty, ugly a$$ Road Glide when we got back. Hope you enjoy this.

O'skully,
I used a free downloadable program off of the microsoft windows site called "Photo Story 3". It is very simple to use. We started putting all of our vacations on this thing because we would never look at our pictures after returning. Now I go on vacation over and over again! The original photo set that I made for this trip was over 20 minutes long, and could not be loaded onto Youtube, so I condensed it for viewing. Hope this helps.

First of all, thanks for all the positive replies. Wish I could have gotten the long version on Youtube (lots more pictures)

We done two 700+ miles, back to back, on the way out. Left Jackson MS on a Saturday morning and was setting in Tombstone Sunday afternoon.Believe or not the wives were not complaining. They were real troopers. From there we trickled all the way up to the Grand Canyon. Highlights of the trip was the area going over the mountains into Jerome and then across to Sedona. From Sedona we took the Oak Creek Canyon road up to Flagstaff and then up to the Grand Canyon. We also headed west on 40 toward Kingsman. Arizona is a beutiful State with lots more to see than what we did. We done about 500 mile plus days on the way back. Total of10 days, 2 days out there, 5 days of exploring and 3 days back. We are eager to go back but maybe sqeeze in a full 2 weeks. Also, we just couldn't pass up the standing on the corner in Winslow Arizona on a trip like this.
