Just another idea for a drive here in Montana. Just got back from a trip to Ennis & Virginia City. It's a beautiful drive... it's a real windy road & a lot of fun in the XLR. Virginia City is one of the oldest towns in Mt. Real neat old buildings dating back to the 1800's. From there it's an easy drive into Yellowstone Park.

This sounds like a great trip however, my traveling this year will be limited. I believe that I will a little more active next year - if I do not go overseas.

What say you??

What say you?? | When I lived in Salida we usually got our first snow on Halloween. Last year when I returned from Arizona the last week in October we had a bad snow storm on I70 East of Grand Junction over Vail Pass and that was the first snow storm of the season.

We did a "ride-about" on our motorcycles last year for about a week in Montana, on a circuitous route to Sturgis. It would be super in the XLR, for sure.
We're in south-east Colorado, so it wouldn't be too long of a drive. I'm just a little leery of showing up in my '06 XLR, that's not "mint" by anyone's standard. The first owner didn't evidently know how to either parallel park it w/o hitting the curb, or how to avoid tailgating rock haulers. All of y'all's cars look SO GOOD (!) that it'd make mine pale by comparison.

We're still trying to work on BobFest .... so, we will have to pass on Montana ..... although it is pretty close to the top of our 'to see' list ... I think it has to be one of the most beautiful states we have.
Think about AZ in January as well ..... don't you have friends there that you sometimes visit? Could be one way to tie in a meeting up.  | |

Tim | Don't worry too much about your not being "mint". We'd LOVE to have you along for the drive!!! Mine has rock chips galore in the front as well; it's hard to keep from that happening...
I'll keep track of possible attendees in post #2.

Yea, we DO have friends in AZ... guess we'll talk about it. Would be nice to have a road trip in January... whe only problem would be the snow until we get past SLC, UT. And then back again. Would also have to take it out of storage... unless we flew??? Much more fun to fly low to the ground, though!!!

Yes ... January is an iffy-month coming down thru the NW ... this year you would have had no problems .... next year ...
You could consider flying in and then doing Bondurant where you would definetly fill your need for speed  ...... what a memory maker that would be! It doesn't matter what you drive to Barrett-Jackson in .... if you do any sight-seeing through the desert you will definetly miss your XLR, but then again, if you're with friends, they couldn't ride with you anyway. You could always rent a Camaro convertible!
Anyway, think about it. For sure there will be a time to meet up .... we already have JetBoy and First Robin over there ....  | |
