Touring Vs Transportation

[Steve 0080]

For me and my wife…our best vaca was just going until we/she got tired, saw something to, saw a place to eat or whatever….I can understand the ideal of having a guaranteed place to stay…but don’t loose site of the ideal it is a vaca and there is no time constraints. Now if you have an agenda and only some much time and miles to cover, well that is a different story. Working out of a “ hub “ and returning to the same place each night can limit you, as to the area you can see. What we do is just ride….and when the times comes to head back…get out of the way !!!

We only make reservations on holidays ,at known high traffic tourist locations. Otherwise it's stop when we want to ,which does let you do and see more on the way.

I have been stuck trying to find a hotel room, but I hate having a destination planned except the final one and then its important not to have an arrival date. I tend to ride from about 6am to about 4 pm so I have time to find a hotel in the light and I'm not riding around in the dark hungry and tired trying to find a place. Then I can shower, find a good meal and check out the local attractions in the evening.

The times I've had a person to meet as I was passing through screw up the ride enough that I often don't even tell people I'm riding in their part of the country.

Gumby, what part of the country are you in ???? I need to know, so that when I am riding through that area...

I make sure I do not tell you in advance
