July 1st i start my Independance ride....recently divorced.....close to my retirement from the US Army.....and getting a chance to see family and friends who i havent seen in 5 years back in New england. taking my time riding across the great land of the USA....starting from Washington state to massachusetts with a 5 day camping trip in VT.......then back again....god i cant wait.....doing the whole trip solo.....should be a ride to remember....

 

I envy you! I'm in PA, but work for a co out of Santa Barbara. Have a meeting out there every May, and I've considered taking a few weeks & riding out & back for this meeting, but never have done it. Hope you have a great trip. And THANK YOU for your service.

Just got back from my Las Vegas to PA and back, over 5500 miles had a great time though the rain was a bit of a dampner but all in all a good time. Went solo. Have a great ride!

 

I'll be doing the east to west and back thing in Aug. I would like to hear your experience on going across the middle of the continent. I'm trying to decide between scenic roads (if any) across the middle, or super slab across the middle and more time in Utah or in the Smokies. So any input either on your planned route or on your actual experience in that long lonely stretch would be appreciated.

Ride safe.

 

I envy you for the divorce! you lucky dog! And a awesome ride to boot...damn I am living wrong...LOL
