mmoffitt Posted April 25, 2011 Share #1 Posted April 25, 2011 Okay, so the wife and I are leaving out on our first long road trip in June. I've been working on the trailer and plan to stay at campground along the way but am looking for someone willing to let us bunk up with them for a day or two along the way so we can shower and refresh ourselves. We will be going from Colorado Springs to Chicago, then following Route 66 down. We will be at the Eureka Springs Meet and Eat for that long weekend. Here's the map of our route: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&ie=UTF8&msa=0&msid=217067729114273134767.000498d3e23585862bb97&ll=41.376809,-96.37207&spn=22.416404,35.551758&t=h&z=5 And here's our trip book of some of the stops along the way. I had to remove the pictures to make it small enough to upload.... Nothing in it is set in stone but I wanted to at least have some ideas of things to see along the way. Although we would appreciate recommendations or VR Assistance at any of our stops along the way, if there is anyone in the Chicago area, we will be there on the 19th and 20th of Jun and need a place to sleep. Any recommendations of "must see" things anywhere along the route would be great as well! Thansk! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon_One Posted April 25, 2011 Share #2 Posted April 25, 2011 Sounds like fun. We'll see you at Eureka Springs. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryZ Posted April 25, 2011 Share #3 Posted April 25, 2011 I have a garage and tools if you need any repairs when you reach OKC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmoffitt Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share #4 Posted April 25, 2011 Gary, I appreciate. We will actually be spending a week in OK because that's where all the family lives. So Dad's got a shop there too and, even though he's gone to the darkside, he was a Venture rider for years and as far as I know, he's still got his venture in the shop...You coming to Eureka Springs? I think my dad and brother (and wives) will be meeting us there. Maybe everyone in OK will meetup for a ride out there. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Haywood Posted April 25, 2011 Share #5 Posted April 25, 2011 We live half way between Peoria and Bloomington Illinois in Eureka on US Hwy 24. We have a couple of extra bedrooms and a garage if you need a place to crash let me know. We would be more than happy to put you up Rick and Shirley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
