Hello fellow moto-travelers. It's about that time to plan the next long-haul ride. While I was recovering from the Rona a couple of weeks ago, quarantining, I planned my next cross country trip. Below is a rough outline of it and I am aware it's been done a million times by others, it's my first, though, so be gentle!

I am using Rever to map out Butler G1 roads and avoid highways as much as possible, even if it seems impossible or unreasonable at times but my main objective for this ride is to see as many hidden gems as possible. Sure, most people do the tail of the dragon, or Sturgis and while those may be a great sightseeing tour for most, I would love to see lost places, far far away from tourist hot spots, something in the middle of nowhere that you may have stumbled upon by accident and turned out to be a pleasant surprise or at the very least, a cool story to tell. A couple of years ago I rode from CA to Austin, TX and took nothing but service roads and back country highways. Ended up in Pie Town, NM which had the most delicious pies I have ever had, friendliest staff, the funniest open carry gun sign. (photos posted)

Taking my camera gear and a drone with me, don't have a set route and am very flexible and willing to go out of my way to see something super nostalgic, cool roadside attraction, rare undocumented scenic byway, a functioning ghost town, old fashioned diner, giant cowboy statue, unique murals, waterfall vista points, BBQ sign on the side of the road that leads to some random house with the most delicious brisket east of Mississippi are all accepted and anything in that realm is greatly appreciated, so please share your cool past experiences/locations and recommendations in the lower 48's with me.

Thank you in advance and hope to run into you out there and buy you a (or 8)
