I'm hoping to get back to New Zealand this year but its looking unlikely with the current restrictions.
I have a share in a V9 Roamer there, I would like to do a camping tour of the South Island.

Virginia and W Virginia in June.  Missed our last 2 years due to - and border. 

Hoping the Canucks remove the testing requirement to get back across the border.  Right now, you need a negative PCR done up to 72 hrs prior to get back in.  And that is for vaxed Cdns too.

My brother went through that last summer.  Just make sure your paperwork.  I think a phone app might work too.

Yeah.  Keeping my fingers crossed that they will drop the requirement by June.  Just incredible roads down there...

Don't cross your fingers, be prepared.  My brother got through.  Better have your shots too.

I'd like to make it back to the Broken Arrow Rally this year. I was all set to roll last year but the fires from California and in particular Oregon stopped me in my tracks.  I looked at the Air Quality Index (AQI) scores for Gibbonsville. ID and the day before I was going to take off they were in the 170's. For reference, the scale is from 0-500. Anything below 50 is considered GOOD air quality. between 50-100 its considered MODERATE. Above 100 sensitive groups will be affected and so on.  Wasn't going into that mess. Pockets I noticed on my app further west of there were in the 300's.

I and a couple of buddies did ride about 1,400 miles (most of it through Wyoming) in the first week of Sept 21. Every day there was a yellowish pall hanging in the air and over us wherever we rode.  Depending on where we were AQI was anywhere from 80-140 +/-.  Big Horns (for the trip they had the best AQI score). Ride included going through Buffalo, Sheridan, Cody, Yellowstone, Jackson.  While sitting at the pull out in front of the Grand Teton AQI was around 120-140.  Tourist from all over were trying to take pic's of them yet they were literally hidden in the haze...shame as for many of those folks this was probably a once in a lifetime trip. 

Here's hoping 2022 is less smokey while out on the road.

There is a section of road in South Eastern Washington State that I have ridden for the last 3 years, I will ride there again this year. It is between Lewiston Id. and Enterprise OR. I think it is rattlesnake creek. Highway 129.
I usually ride Highway 20 , the North Cascades Highway, every year
I also ride Chinook Pass highway 410 at least once a year. This works with the Rattlesnake creek ride.
Maybe I will do another multi day ride somewhere else.

I’d do another lap of Australia on the Postie bike if someone wanted to go.

Illinois rally
Wisconsin rally
Kentucky rally
Ohio rally - with my free ticket I won in Kentucky  :grin:
MoKan maybe.
Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin for our couples trip
And three other weekend camp trips.

If MoKan is the weekend before Kentucky again, I’ll mess around getting from one to the other. If anyone wants to ride around between the two weekends from one rally to the other I’d be game.

Oh man, that sounds like a great time. Not for me this year, but maybe I’ll put that on the future to-do list! I mean, I do have to think about what country I’ll tour on moto after this year…

I rode that stretch the past two summers on the way home from the Broken Arrow Rally in Gibbonsville. Fun ride, lots of turns and twists. There is a cafe at the bottom that has some nice modern cabins in the back. We stayed in one after discovering the campground on top was closed last year and it was getting late in the day..

Mo Kan is 200 miles away.  KC is in between, a great city to visit IMO.

In the interest of reciprocity after my trip around the US last year, if anyone's traveling near Poulsbo, WA here near Seattle, you're welcome to stay at my house. We have a guest bedroom, and there's always camping in the yard. We're about 150 feet from the best brew pub in town.
