Good work VRCC bosses! I am assuming that registration can begin sometime in January.
Google Maps says 8 1/4 hours of side-stand up travel time for me. Of course, I'll likely take a long detour to make it a two day trip.

Jason... You are definitely making this one... no excuses... I've already started planning our meet up location so we can finally get on the road together. Don't let this old(er) boy down now  Ditto to staff... .. the early notice is great, and you can't go wrong with the location. A short hop from our Valhalla rally the weekend prior in ID.

Yeah, unfortunately we can figure out a good way to open before January... without getting slammed by the IRS.

I would love to attend the Valhalla Rally. We are planning on going to Germany for the European InZane, so it would be a tight squeeze. We'll see as we get closer. We will be traveling to ID after for sure, so I will get the last of the lower 48 completed (at last)!

Just around the corner from Winslow, Arizona... Wait. That's standing on a corner... Wait. I don't live in Winslow.
But, Billings is a great run from Phoenix. No matter which route I choose. I think the entire state of Utah should be declared a National Park...
I'll be making the run.
