Destination Wanted.

[Chuck35]

Grabbing a few vacation days that were convenient for my workplace puts me off from June 26 thru July 2.

I'd like to crunch some miles, maybe do a ride in BBG or something. I haven't found much on the calendars for that time.

Any suggestions welcomed!

I like how you threw in a couple of Hawaii locations there....lol.

But I guess if it were me, I'd head North towards Maine. Just too bad you just can't skip that whole New York and New Jersey garbage.

Edit: meaning along I95. Adirondacks would be great to ride around in though.

It is just a generic destination list for my wife and I. We won't necessarily ride to each of them...

It was just convenient that I had just made this list and found GPS points for each when his request came up.

Besides, you could get pretty close to each of them except for Hawaii!!

Never been to West Virginia/Ohio/Pennsylvania according to your map? I could easily spend 7 days there. Figure one day to Virginia, ride the BRP north, hit some of the local sights along the way, then stop by the ocean on the way back. Everyone loves oceans.

Gerlach.

 

[Chuck35]

Great ideas guys. If I were throwing a dart at a map (I might try that) I would aim west

 

[Uncle Hud]

Now that your travel window has shut ...

Chaco Canyon, NM, and The Wave, AZ ...

and think philosophic things as you look at wonders of man and nature.
