Hey, Randy. thanks for the help. I might end up in your property in the way
there. I figure I will drive from lexington , ky to Peoria, Illinois the
first day, (400 miles) , from Peoria to Sioux city(or your place ) the
second day(460 miles) and from Sioux City to Rapid city the third day ( 428
miles +-) .
It would be Great to ride together with a bunch of Loops to the rally.
In the Freetrip .com website it reads Lexington-Peoria 397 miles = 6:30
hours Peoria-Sioux City 460 miles =7:15 hours and Sioux City -Rapid
City 428 miles=5:45 hours, I guess is very easy to drive in your state of SD
judging by the times.
It is going to be an exiting National this Year. Hopefully I might join
Charlie in the way there someplace and ride together.
Roberto.

 Charlie , Roberto, and others
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
uphe
 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
