Hi Randy,
I appreciate the route suggestion, sounds better than going the way I had planned. May go through Nebraska on the return trip anyway.

A pre-rally get-together sounds like a great idea! It will give us Loopers a chance to form up and ride in together - always more impressive when you arrive as a group. Thanks in advance for your hospitality. Cheers,

Charlie

I just took a look at the Iowa and Nebraska route. Iowa looks pretty
interesting but instead of using Neb. roads, I would lide to suggest heading
northwest from Denison Iowa towards Sioux City Iowa then north to Sioux
Falls SD.
About 15miles SE of Sx Falls at the town of Lennox you can catch the start
of state Hiway 44. This road is one of the better maintained roads in
the state. It will take you across the mile long bridge crossing the
Missouri river,thru indian reservations, part of the Bad Lands, and end up
at Rapid City. You can get off at Rapid or continue on 44 a few more miles
to the end at hiway 385 north of Hill City. Then you can say "I rode 44
from one end to the other"
At Rapid you have a few different routes to the rally. I
I will be in the Hills ain a couple weeks and will try to get some treats
for some of you.

I live in the Sx Falls area, only 3.6 miles north of the I90-I29 junction .
Have a couple acres to camp on if anyone cares to.This might also be a point
to get together and form a pre rally rally or something. 2 kegerators are
also on hand for those who like to indulge.

Randy

 Hi Roberto,
"The Lincoln Highway was America's first trans-continental highway"
according to this website:
http://www.ugcs.caltech.edu/~jlin/lincoln/by_state/
It mostly follows US30 across the Mid-West. There was a story in
American Motorcyclist about a trip west on it a few years ago also. I'd
like to stay off of the major highways and stick to the "old roads" in
an attempt to see more of the "real America", not just what's right off
of the next exit. Time isn't much of a factor for me as I'll have six
days to get there. Cheers,

Charlie
