Been missin all you guys but have been rollin the highway pretty hard last few days. Startin this thread for a kinda selfish reason - to chronicle the trip and all the Slingers I plan on meeting along the way.
Left Lake Charles, LA and went to Little Rock, AK where @Slingrazor helped me out with some of his mechanical wizardry that I will post about in another thread. Left Little Rock and headed to @Spudinator s house south of Dallas. This was waiting in the driveway
After a night of fine Kentucky bourbon and Spud & Mrs Spud's hospitality we headed out to Ruidosa, NM.
Bill & Angie Martin's West Coast Tour

The next day was one of my bucket list items - meeting @Tripod. @jorgebri60 rode up from El Paso and @Spudinator and I braved the worst rainstorm (even hail) up to Cloudcroft to meet Tripod. Just like everybody else in the SS family he far exceeded all expectations and is a wonderful man to be around!!

Bill, Angie and you should buzz up th Mt. Evans on the way to Avon. You head up to it from Idaho Springs. Highest paved road in U. S. Little white mountain goats all over up there. Nice little Brewery in Idaho Springs too called Tommyknockers.

Sounds like a plan!!!!

learned a little history today - America the Beautiful was composed the day Katherine Lee Bates visited Pikes Peak - I can certainly see her inspiration now !!!
My bride got to visit a friend from Colorado that she hasn't seen since the last millennium--or longer -
Just saying @Bill Martin
