Tell me this, Dean/Dale- are you envisioning a base camp we day-trip from and back to each day, or are we town-hopping (hotel hopping), making some sort of circuit? If it is the base-camp scenerio then I may be able to talk Patti into joining. She may not ride everyday if she has a pool to hang at (at the hotel).
Now this is looking very interesting. How far is the grand canyon? Wife and I hav e always talked about that trip. Will see how things work out but I guess pencil us in. I like the idea of switching trailers with riders for a day or so over there.

You all get your bones out here however you see fit, just allow yourself enough time to explore this place, that's the part you will remember the most.

You can get just about anywhere in Arizona in about 4 hours, including the Grand Canyon and about 6 hours to San Diego (helmet laws) but you have to use the interstates to do it. That is definitely not the way to enjoy riding here, there are too many great alternative roads.
If you guys give us a time frame and let us know where you want to go, we'll have the ride plans ready for you.
Looking forward to it.

Joe, I hear ya on the ride across I 10, have you ever taken I 20 or I 40 across, hoping for a better ride that way. As far as anyone getting out there by any means, I promise I will not make fun of anyone for trailering, time is a major factor and vacation time varies greatly. I just want to do the cross country thing, good training for my run to Alaska and back in the near future.Like I said above lets just get a time and place to meet out there and break up into groups or get there individually. I appreciate you guys putting together some rides.

Brenda and I would most likely do the trailer thing~
We also only get so much vacation time per year... and I always like to leave some time for the Ocala event each year~ Would rather enjoy as much time in Arizona as we can as opposed to travel time~ So what ya will, but I didn't buy the damn trailer to be a yard orniment... in my brother's yard~ This kind of thing is exactly what it's for~

Would Love to go along with this, at least got some time for planning... Kind of Like the idea of the Trailer/Ride Combo thing .. I have a Truck and Trailer that is more than adequate for a couple of Bikes.. Have not set the Trailer up yet for Wheelchocks and D Rings for Bikes was a discontinued model that got for about 2/3 what a Brand New cost.. But have all the electric brake assist Hitch etc... Set and Ready to roll .. Would gladly pitch Truck, Trailer or Both to see this work... Even though retired agree rather spend more time riding in AZ than rolling down I-10 which have done many times..
