It was not that long ago that the thought of going on a 2,000 mile motorcycle ride seemed a bit beyond my comfort level. Now with a couple long rides under my belt, I am thinking what is next and where will my journeys take me. Steve, Ed, and I have been tossing around the idea of riding US Route 20 from coast to coast as a story project. The ride would cover over 6500 miles in about twenty days. We are calling it the 20-20 Project right now. It is still only a dream, but who knows, maybe the paper Steve and I work at will come on board and see the potential for our readers in this motorcycle adventure.
If I am willing to go 6,500 miles, where else would I go? If time were not a factor, I could come up with some other dream rides. The desert Southwest would be a good trip visiting the national parks in Utah and Arizona. A natural direction from my home in the Northwest would be head south to mexico, why not go big, how about South America. Patagonia would be awesome. Then there is North, Alaska would be cool and I even speak the language. The reality is for me at least, time is the biggest factor. I will keep on dreaming and who knows, maybe someday I will find some of my dreams have come true.
