So.... we are here checking out a location for next year.  It this place works out, Serk and his spawn would be traveling less than 1200 miles. 

Let the Serkle making begin!!!   :crazy2:

           Iffin it weren't so danged hot when Inzane is held Eureka Springs would NOT upset me in the least.  :2funny: But I will leave the guesstimatin to Serk.  :cooldude: RIDE SAFE.
Today is the tommorow you worried about yesterday. If at first you don't succeed screw it-save it for nite check.  1964  1968 U S Navy. Two cruises off Nam.

That is a wide area that would include every previous InZane except Billings and Bellaire, Mi.  Some nice places.  Lots of CO and WY.

Nope. Not eureka springs.

Rosalia, KS?   ;)  Probably not but, the Flint Hills offer some beautiful scenery and some fun roads.
Yeah, I know but, if you haven't been there, you really don't know.

That, and I was occupied with driving to Oklahoma to bring my new toy home today:



But on the topic at hand, in order to make it a level playing field, these are the teaser images f6gal and Motomama posted on Facebook that helped in the triangulation of the location:









A few other posts they made that helped in the sleuth work:







Hope to see all of ya'll in REDACTED next year!

What?  No Serkle?

Well, since you asked nicely.... But it's a very VERY large Serkle still.... I'm not even gonna TRY to figure out how to computationally add Willow's hint into the graphics though!

You may significantly reduce the Serkle by the assurance that InZane XXI will not be afloat.   :)

...I'm also fairly confident it won't be in Mexico either, just need to remember how I did oblong shaped Serkles in previous years..... I've slept since then! ;)

One way.  Riding distance, not as the crow flies.

It will be in the US.  Also, it is riding miles, not as the crow flies.

I was thinking Gila Bend, but Ajo is a possibility.  Its got to be one of the two.

Asheville, North Carolina again of course you tricky devils

Serk

Okay, found a tool that is a little better at least, an approximate 1200 miles driving radius from me. (Had to do time, not miles, so estimated 17 hours).

The pins mark all previous Inzane locations.

What?  You're over 17 hours from Houston?  From New Orleans?

Just hope it's north of the Mason-Dixon line, too hot in the southern parts that time of year. Wyoming would be kinda neat.  :cooldude:

You've driven/ridden I-45 from Dallas to Houston before, haven't you?  :2funny:

It would seem to me since we are given a less than 1200 mile riding distance, one could assume a 1100-1200 mile perimeter and choose from those possibilities?

You can eliminate anti-2A places like MN & Illinois.  And places w/o city sizes that support large hotels.  And places w/o good riding ie. boring.  I'm thinking eliminate high plains like Nebraska & Kansas (except in a few select locations-certainly not in the middle of flat farming land - no big cities there anyway.)  They already eliminated CO.  And I concur, it's likely between 1100-1200 mi driving radius.  Some locals may recognize some of the hint pics.  Less likely hotter places like deep south as well.  Though gulf places aren't as hot with a sea breeze.  While hurricane possibilities might enter those prospects.

From Houston Tx. to JOHNSON CITY TN. is approx. 1100 miles. Just sayin....   :coolsmiley:

The traffic in Greenville SC isn't worse (not nearly as bad  :o ) as
Asheville, and Hiway 11 offers an easy gateway to a bunch of paths
up into the mountains, kind of the same way the BRP offered an
escape path out of Asheville. I like riding "out in the country"
south of Greenville too.

Clemson has a conference center too, it might not be big enough,
and their heads might explode if a bunch of motorcycles came there
for a week :-) ...

Our boutique, four-story hotel overlooks picturesque Lake Hartwell and features 62 spacious guest rooms and 27 luxurious suites, including a Hospitality Suite and a Bridal Suite. In addition to easy access to the state-of-the-art conference center and championship golf, guests enjoy complimentary Wi-Fi access, a fitness center, a seasonal outdoor pool, and delicious on-site dining.

Now, that's a location I'd love to go back to.........

  It could have been stated that it is LESS than 2000 miles.  :crazy2:

    I have less than $2,000,000 in my checking account.  :uglystupid2:

Ok, recently we've been kind of alternating East and West (as you may have noticed).  Unfortunately, due to coronavirus restrictions, the East didn't really get a fair shot this year.  So, we've decided to look East of the Mississippi for XXI.  The site under consideration is, in fact, East of the Big Muddy.
