When we left lunch with Youzguyz - we drove to see the Regency suspension bridge.

It was something I was threatening to do on one of our group motorcycle rides down here - but the mile of gravel road to get to it was a huge deterrent.

It turns out that avoiding it on a motorcycle trip was a good idea. The gravel road had rocks the size of golf balls in some areas - the aggregate was just perfect for rolling out from under a motorcycle tire. It was also a 5 hour round trip from Kerrville, and the roads there and back were not very exciting.

It was worth the drive in a car, and I am glad we got to see it and drive over it.

***** Well, let’s stay with what we have then.
Arrive and check-in Sun. Apr. 27, have it for 6 nights, depart Sat. May 3rd. Sorry for the error. We have the option to extend days there if desired and it’s still available.

Mothers day , 11 May.

My mother in law will be 101 by then !

I have no idea what to get for her , any suggestions ?
..................
Lancer you joking ? Embarrassed

If we have to sleep in the truck I'll speaking up for the "Passenger side right now" Wink

So, as of now we have Sunday night April 27 -Sunday morning May 4th. right ?

If so : I'll plan on being at your house April 25 or 26th.

****** 25th if you want a day of rest before we start out

OR
What's the best week for you ? We might get cabin 50 the week after ... May 4 - 10 would be Great for me !

Hay Lancer , you bringing the 650 or the 650 ? Huh

****** The 650 of course. 😎 🏍️
Or maybe the other one ? But no, alas, REX may need minor surgery…. when there is room. So it’s Sir Maxx, the very distinguished British gentleman. aka BSA.
................

I have to be home by May 20th , I've got a date with Marcia in Helen GA , I don't want to miss.
So any of them weeks before (May 20th) are OK.

Warmer is good for me , I don't like cold and learned long ago "Cool is a frame of mind" Wink

Just let me know , like
Versey said ; I'm flexable. Wink

OK , If your sure you can juggle your calendar , I have nothing important for the week after either ...

Hay Lancer .
I had the thought ... "Marcia tells me I shouldn't do that"... that Versey's neighborhood is only one day West of Moab. I'm sure that's important somehow ?
We could go see Versey sometime ! Just hop scotching our way all the way there and back. You even been to the South of California ?
Not this trip , but it's possible sometime.

It sure is! I have a guest bedroom and a couch. This year we have weather roulette though... spring summer winter with a sprinkling of fire and mud.

No problem , I'll bring the Truck.

I've had the idea to build a 4'x8' Tear-Drop Sleeper Trailer to tow with it . So 2 or 3 mpg loss ? Already bought the trailer , but can't deside :

1. With a 64" Ceiling and ramp rear door + side door. (bike would fit).
2. With a 46" Ceiling and ramp rear door + side door. (better mpg).

Windows , roof vent and 12V to 120V converter with either option , no water. Utilize the Interstate rest areas.

Bike in the Trailer means Marcia's Jeep could be the tow vehicle.

I guess I'm getting lazy driver syndrome as the years creep up on me ? Most of the time now ridding the 350cc bike and running 55-65 on the secondary roads is very nice !
