In January of this year I started thinking of another motorcycle trip. I have also informed my employer that I intend to retire this year, so this is going to be an interesting year.
Laurie still has reservations about the virus so she will not be with me on this trip. But my can of Lysol will be!
I plan to roughly travel the gulf coast to Galveston, TX and then head west across Texas to Big Bend National Park. After that I will visit various places in New Mexico before returning home roughly along I-40 visiting several Route 66 sights. I hope you follow along with me.
