Hi Folks,

Good to join up and meet all of you. I'm in central Vermont, ride a 2000 R1100RT-P. Getting ready for a road trip from here to Taos, NM, then to Boise, ID, and back home through Canada.

Hope to see you on the road!

Mid May, will be watching the weather forecasts through the midwest. Hope to bypass tornado season.

I'll be crossing at Sault St Marie, heading fairly straight through to Lake Champlain.

Good Luck on your eXtended X-country eXcursion Russ!

We did the UP many years ago now; it was where we were first introduced to their culinary specialty, "naked cheese curds."

Be sure to post a few pix back here on your Intro-page, when U encounter something "noteworthy!"

Sláinte! HSV-Phil & HSV-Karen
