Default S. Florida to Sturgis

Hi all,
I will pull a camper trailer, and leave West Palm Beach, FL to Sturgis, somewhere from 08/03 - 08/05/10.
My route is probably the same as many of yours, FL-GA-TN-KY-KS-NE, then SD (Custer). It would be fun to ride in group, so if any one who will pull a trailer, or camp along the road, can join me.
I don't ride very fast, so from my town to SD, I imagine four days would be fine (I've used to ride 3 days to Sturgis w/o trailer).
It's still early, but it will be here in no time. Plan now, and let's roll!
Nick

BTW.: I will head to UT, then CA after the Sturgis, so if you have the same plan, let me know.

Here is the route map.

No problem Craig!
Just PM me the date, so I can check my work schedule, and I will let you know which is a good day.
Do you pull a trailer?
C'ya!

That's GREAT!
Have you decided what day you will head out?
Have you booked a campground spot in SD?
I probaly leave FL either on the 4th, 5th, or 6th, depends on the weather. But then, rain will not stop me from getting out.
I haven't booked a campground spot yet, but very much, I will stay in Custer area, because it is quiet, and have more nice routes to ride around.
Let me know your location, and departure day, so I can "calculate" my schedule. It may take me 3 days to get to your place, but it can be 2. It depends on your location.
Have fun!
Nick

Well, I plan to stay the first night, some where close to Chattanooga, TN.
What is your plan? Are you gonna camp?
My average daily distance without the trailer, is plus/minus 750 miles, but I think it's probably around 600, or less this time.
Let me know!
Nick

I am counting!
A little more than 30 days, then if you don't go, you can follow me to Sturgis through my daily updated photo album.
