[Tanx] 1999 rally

[B Darcy]

p.s. Have you done the tail of the dragon? I have. Twice. And the Cherohala skyway multiple times. I know you've been to tellico plains in TN so you have an idea of the area.  Ive ridden many of the mountain roads in the general area. And yes, there are roads as good if not better in the area. This is a great area for a bike. Love it here. Ride on.

There is a campground in Ocean City that is right on the beach. You can dip your tires in the Atlantic to start and dip them in the Pacific at the end. 
The road through West Virginia will make you think the Tail of the Dragon is for wimps. Stay at the KoolWink motel in Romney WV. Great people and a nice place to spend the night. https://www.koolwink.com/
Mom's Cafe in Salina UT is a required stop for all bikers. 
If you have time let me know and I'll show you some cool places in the Moab area

Thanks for the tip on US50. I’ll be sure to try it on my next cross country trip.

Karl is in San Jose. The picture is a couple of miles from my house in Utah. I'd be happy to host a Western Rally if somebody wants to organize a road trip from the east and west coast. 
I rode my TA across country on US 50 a few years ago and it was more than up to the task. The best part was that I didn't need a map or gps. US 50 goes from Ocean City MD to Sacramento CA. Much more authentic Americana than Route 66.

Karl, please remind me where you live.  That photo is just great.  I’ve never ridden out west and it is near the top of my bucket list.

We are pretty lucky in our little farm/ranch community. Only 13 deaths so far for the entire county and not many hospitalizations. We have a row of mountains between us and Salt Lake City. Seems to be working in our favor.

Two Africa Twins, a Transalp, and a CRF250 Rally in the garage. Everyone is invited to come out and play. You can ride the original Pony Express trail all the way to the Nevada border or go all the way to Sacramento if you want. Right from the house! If you get Eddy out here he can ride the black AT he sold me. 

Moab will be mobbed once the lockdowns end so I suggest either early spring or next year for that. Beat the crowds or wait until they go home.

A couple of buddies and I are meeting in a couple of weeks to start planning a rally out here. I'll keep you posted.

 

This is 3 miles from my house.

Howdy J!

 

Visiting you and Beth (thanks for the Christmas card) is still pretty constant on my radar.  Eddy is hiding out pretty secure up on his mountaintop in Morgan Hill, so may not want to come down yet, but I want to come out and ride with you.

 

My two daughters are out east, in CT and PA so reading your Tanx stuff keeps me thinking of that venue, too.

 

How are you guys doing?  Toys and pets all good?

 

Later,

Karl
