Author Topic: Congrat to Beaver for getting 48 states on her Guzzi. (Read 6848 times)

Before we left for the National Beaver said she only had to get SD, ND, MT, WA and Wyoming to get the lower 48. I said we can get them on the way to the National. She said you must have a different map than me as some looked out of the way. We took mainly secondary roads to ND, then 12 all the way across MT, Idaho and Washington to Walla Walla then dropped down to John Day. Got Wyoming on the way home.

I think this is a great accomplishment that a lot of people will never do.

She is still working on getting the 254 counties in Texas with only 50 or so remaining. In fact, you can put on less miles getting the lower 48 than getting the 254 counties.

Very proud of you,
Tex

That's impressive Beaver!

Hwy 12 is fantastic Tex...what a great ride from Lolo along the Clearwater all the way to Walla Walla my favorite river road so far!

If you're missing Harris county, just come down to Houston for a visit!!

Well done!

Yeah; those Texas counties... The ones on the left side of the state that follow section lines are easy enough to tag (even if the road through one will look pretty much the same as the road through the next). But, all the little jumbled things on the right side--that's much tougher. Good luck to her!

Nice work!

On a similar note, I am trying to hit all of the Chicago neighborhoods and suburbs. But the way traffic works here, I may put a gun to my temple first!

Congratulations, Beaver!

Congratulations Beaver, I had the pleasure of meeting you and Tex for lunch on the way to John Day.

Attagirl, Beaver.

Me, too. I finally put Washington on the map on this last trip. <shrug> Never had ridden there..
My half sister has them all, too.. but she's quite a bit older.

She had more time.

Way to go Beeve, I hope the ancestors of all those bugs don't decide to take revenge on you. That could get ugly

Tom · « **Reply #16 on:** July 19, 2016, 06:33:52 PM »

Congrats!

I am no where near that. Missed ND and the deep south AL, LA, MS but made up for it by riding in other parts of the world.

Because we all know you can't tour on a smallblock.

Congratulations Beaver... May I ask how long this feat took to accomplish...?

Wow, how to go...! Good luck on the Texas Counties.

Best,
Rob

What about the other 2 states?

Don't quit now!

Tom · « **Reply #21 on:** July 19, 2016, 08:51:22 PM »

You can ride to Alaska. The 50th state would be hard to ride to with her bike.

Way to go!!

I was well on my way to picking up all the states accessible by land, but life stepped squarely in the way

I have been to the 49 by various vehicles but I still need 13, IIRC, on the HD&M EV. I hope it will last long enough to accomplish this, and I hope I'll last that long too

You are my inspiration. I think I'll head out to Nebraska before winter hits up there
