Re: The member who makes post # 1000 in this thread wins a prize!

OK, since no one seems to want to talk about gas mileage. How about a "what I did on my summer vacation" type thing?
Tell us about your last weekend trip. Or one you remember as a kid, or one you would like to make, or something like that.

I'll start off with a trip my dad and I took 9 years ago. I was 60 and he was 79 at the time.
I belonged to a GoldWing motorcycle club at the time. Dad had never liked motorcycles and was sure I had some
sort of a death wish when I started riding over 50 years ago. I won't bother you with all the details but
I took him for his first ride on his 75th birthday. After that we went on a number of short to medium rides,
200-400 miles with the local chapter of the club I belonged to. Then in 1998 my club had a rally in Pendleton, Oregon.
We loaded up the GoldWing and the trailer and set off on July 4th riding 2 up and pulling the trailer.
We traveled west on I-40 through AK, OK, TX, NM, AZ to Needles, Calif. Stopping along the way to visit family and friends.
From Needles we went south to Palm Springs to visit friends. Then north to Santa Maria, Calif to see my daughter and grand kids.
Then north on 395 through Reno, NV and on up to Pendleton. We spent almost a week in Pendleton exploring NE Oregon and SE WA. state.
We won that trophy for the "oldest combined 2 up." That's for 2 people, riding on 1 motorcycle, combined age. Dad also took the trophy for Oldest attendee.
I think he won that 1 by less than 2 weeks. We then headed east on I-84 through Idaho to Salt Lake City. From there we picked up I-80 east through WY,
to Omaha and then Council Bluffs. Then we went south to Kansas City, St. Louis and finally back home to Memphis. We were on the road for a total of 49 days
and the good lord blessed us with 44 days of sunshine. We covered 15 states and about 8,000 miles. We saw family, and old friends and made new friends along the way.
Dad spent the next month telling anyone he could corner about the trip. He showed off the trophies to neighbors and members of our church and even out priest.
Best of all my dad loved every minute and every mile of the trip. He liked it so much we were planing a "4 corners" (That's Calif. to WA. state, to Main, to Fla., then back to Calif.)
by motorcycle as soon as I retired. We never got to make that trip. Less than 3 years later the good lord called dad home after a short bout with cancer.
I have enough good memories from that trip though to last me a lifetime.


OK that's my story. Who's next?
