Thanks, I'm doing part of the 14a so I'll see where I can adjust things if I can... more routing, fun.
Mellow's Summer Trip
- Thread starter Mellow
- Start date
It's the 14 and 14a up into the Little Big Horns that's the fun part! Some of the longest, steepest HWY in the country! There's a big sign up at Burgess junction that basically tells you if you're here in a truck, you're screwed.

Mike Turley is the one who turned me on to these roads. Some of his favorites. I've been back many times now.
+1 on Adamk's recommendation of Highway 14A. Lots of twisties and great scenery. I rode it from Cody heading to Denver back in May and it was one of the highlights of the ride.

Am I right that you are heading Northwest to start? Give me a shout around the time you hit Amarillo. I'll buy you lunch, or dinner! I'm only about 20 minutes south of town.

I'll send you a PM on where we should be around lunch time on 9/1, it's a tight schedule but Amarillo should be about right for lunch time, no need to buy me lunch, just show up and say hi and that would be cool... PM on the way.

I know you're not a busy man but you may be hallucinating a little, you should see someone about that.

Joe, I usually wait 'til I'm on the road before posting,,, almost never post a route 'cause,,, I don't know where I'm going!
I'm out 'n about thru 9-8 so maybe we'll cross paths somewhere along yur route,,, I'll be watching.
One of my favorite routing techniques,,, when just meandering: come up on an intersection and think, "Hmmm, I wonder where that goes?"

Joe, Looks like a great trip. Hope you have a fun, safe and memorable ride. Take a lot of pictures to share with the rest of us that are stuck at work.

Enjoy the ride, I rode to Madison in June and really enjoyed the backroads thru Wisc, Minn, Dakotas, Nebraska and Kansas. Ride safe.
Um Joe, you're missing the best roads by not hitting SE Ohio...Just sayin Stay safe and enjoy.
