Summer Plans for Trips

Last summer I wanted to take a trip to Arkansas, and ride in the Ozarks.  Well, vacation time didn't work out right, and I never did go.  But this year, I have enough vacation time for one or more trips.  So the plans:

1.  Ride with the club on a 3 day trip from the Twin Cities to Anamosa, Iowa, and back through LaCrosse Wisconsin. Anamosa is home to a fine motorcycle museum.

2.  The Arkansas trip - 10 days through the Ozarks, the Pea Ridge battlefield, a castle, and a chance to sit and in a beautiful area and be away from the cares of the world.  I'm probably doing this one solo, so it will be a little scary, but a real adventure.

3.  Another trip that's unspecified right now.  Maybe to the Canadian Rockies.  Maybe to Maine to visit my Mom, or to Nova Scotia.  Or maybe out to California - I used to live in the Bay Area, and I know many curvy roads that were fun on a bicycle 20 years ago, and I've always thought they would be great on a motorcycle.

It's probably going to be more of a riding summer than a flying summer.  That's OK.
