THE COUNTDOWN!

In April of 2007, Chuck, Jim, Bruce, Jan, J.B. and I went on a "short" ride to the Four Corners. This was not the "Four Corners" in northwest Arizona, but the "Four Corners" of the United States! This "short" ride took us five weeks and one day. Our first "corner" was in Key West, FLA. As we headed northbound, we stopped for a couple of days in the area of Washington D.C. After our tour, J.B. left us to go back home to start a new job. The five of us continued northbound and eventually arrived in Madawaska, ME, the second "corner." We headed westbound and days later found ourselves in the geographic center of the United States in a town called, Belle Fourche, SD. We continued westbound and later arrived in Blaine, WA, the third "corner." We headed southbound and a few days later arrived in San Ysidro, CA. Sadly, our adventure was soon to be over and we headed back to Phoenix and our families. This great adventure took five weeks and one day and just under 12,000 miles. We still talk about the great memories of the trip!

Today is Monday, April 7, 2008 and in one week the same six, plus Jim's wife, Kathleen, will be leaving for another adventure. We are going to ride to Chicago, IL and come back on the old Route 66 to Santa Monica, CA. We are supposed to head north to Cordes Junction to pick up Jan. We will then head to the area of Kansas City, MO to pick up J.B. Fortunately for all of us, J.B. is going be with us the entire trip this time. There have been many meetings, phone calls and e-mails done to discuss and make plans for this trip. All of the motorcycles have been prepared for this journey and we are all ready for it.

I am SOOOOOO excited for this trip that I am "ALREADY PACKED!"
