Summer Dream 2006

There’s not too much to say at this point. I’ve spent months pouring over maps, routes, places to visit; and then more hours arranging. Scrutinizing the checklist since space is limited. Only take what’s essential. Some change of plans have occurred and probably more will along the way. Now I’m crossing Lake Michigan on a high speed ferry after the reunion, to add a little diversion (and cut off a trip through Chicago). This will put me right in the middle of Harley Headquarters in Milwaukie. That’s a good thing.

So the fully loaded bike is my pony express, my camping unit, photo and communication center, emergency and weather protection, and just a great place from which to see the country. First nights stop is Lewiston, ID. Saddle up. Do you think the beard adds the right touch to this picture? I’m really excited to be seeing you all soon.

Saddle up. Let’s RIDE!
