Found this today, an add to the bucket list no doubt. Anyone interested? Lets see 110 hours, 10 hour days, would be 11 days. Problem being the end and start locations are just as far! I'm thinking it would take a 3 week vacation to pull off, well that just sucks!

Something to dream about while sitting on a non moving train.

I have 280 vacation hours and have 18 days off coming up after next thursday!   Work three more nights then off for another week.  Yeah do the math..  work 3 nights in 24 days... I think I can handle that

I have a map of hitting all the state capitols including Alaska.

It is:

18,393 miles
29 days plus 4 hours.    Figured 30 minute stop per Capitol picture.   A few of the Capitols took some wiggling to get a picture of it and the bike.

Driving time was start at 6:00 AM, shut down at 5:00 PM.

When I got gas, I had a pee call and got a sandwich & drink which I usually eat/drank on the road.   Breakfast in the Motel, and supper after I was stopped for the evening.   Rain or shine, made no difference, I left and rode in all kinds of weather.    Don't remember now, but I run into snow, think it was Wyoming, but not sure and my picture of it doesn't say.

This was about the 3rd big trip I took on MGM.  I did it in the late spring early summer of 1998.    Would I do it again, Hell Yes........

That would be fun RJ! Have to get up your way one day a) to meet you and b) to check out some of these trip pictures you have!

Gas (farts), pee, sandwich and a drink all in one shot...  
It sound appetizing!
