Ok guys in April me and my Steamer are going for a little ride .
Here's a pic of the route which is not set in stone but it is the general plan .


What I am looking for is if anyone along my route would like to put me up in their backyard for some tenting .
In other words I'm lookin for free tenting in your backyard for a night . just need a place to sleep .
Any help will be graciously accepted .
Ride report will follow after the trip
Plan on leaving the second week of april and returning back to NH maybe around the 1st of May or so .

If you wanted to dip a little farther south while in Texas I could probably put you up for a night. Pending clearance with the Mrs. I'm just north of Austin. I can give you a good route through the norhtern Hill Country. And send you east toward LA.

thanks I will keep that in mind as plans finalize .

Also I would be interested in info on good camping spots along the way even if they are pay campgrounds

you guys gotta know good spots to camp along my route
again any info is graciously accepted

Looks like you're headed through Las Cruces, NM.  I live in Mesilla just outside LC.  You are more than welcome to camp here.  Also, if you give me a blow up of the NM portion of your route, I'll be happy to critique it, and give some suggestions.  If me and my bike are sorted by them, I'll even ride with you a ways.

Awesome Guys
This is the kind of info I need
also welcome to road suggestions ..the twistier the better  !
I am getting excited about the trip  It's kind of like a 4 corners US tour but I am leaning more toward places I used to live growing up being an air force brat !

keep the ideas and offers coming

heya mustang, looks like quite a tour!

I see you're coming through my state(Wisconsin).. You should let me know more specific info when it comes time. If you'll have me, I can meet up with you for a coffee or whatever, and ride for a while!!

:ImaPoser that's funny right there
the reason I ask is because NH has broken records with snowfall this year we have had over 100 inches already and another foot is forecast for tonite . It will be June before the snow is gone LOL !

paulie

hehe!

yup, WI smashed the existing record as well.. Supposed to be in the 40's this weekend, so hopefully a bunch of this crap melts. If the ice on the road in front of my house melts, i'll be takin the tigger for a little run this weekend!

seriously though, i hope its nice by April.. I got a serious case of can't-ride-itis.  :evil:
