Will be riding down with John (jm21ddd15). Going to spend a few days in Ohio on the windy9 before the rally.
I don't think Pumper has plans of making the rally this year.
Very loosely planning the trip to CO. I am looking at roughly the NOLA-Dallas-Lubbock-Albaquerque-Cortez line of travel. I may do a mix of interstate and non-interstate roads, depending on when I leave. Does anybody have advice on must see spots along that route? I've never been out that way.
I would not waste any time on anything until getting to at least to northern New Mexico and by then you are almost there. Take a look at Google Earth or even better Google Maps in satellite view.
I would suggest just west of Santa Rosa New Mexico exit I-40 onto highways 84 and 518 to Taos New Mexico and then Us-64 through Chama New Mexico to Pagosa Springs Colorado and finally Us-160 to Cortez. There are some great roads on this route and in Chama they have the narrow gauge steam train that is definitely worth a look.
