Trip Route 2018 Official

[Nathan]

I have attached an updated version of the 2018 Moto Trip.doc.  It now goes to Grand Canyon - West and the Skywalk, instead of Grand Canyon - South and Grand Canyon National Park.  It also includes Russell's route home...

Oh yeah, I talked with Jill the host of the Gordon, NE place, and she to thought it would be fine for us to get up the road...unless it was wet and/or rainy. So, I booked it!  After putting it on the map...it will be an interesting 9.6 miles from the highway to this location. It has an address but Google does not recognize it, so I had to find it with the satellite view based on her directions and pictures of the place. (Her direction include 15-17 auto animal gates...)

Well, hopefully the animal gates don't stop Doggs!

Looking for places in Vegas is a daunting task.  So many choices. 

Here is what I have it narrowed down to for reasonable places with garages:

Russ,

I would say #2 or #3. 

#2 https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/9488365?s=51
#3 https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/21684226?s=51

I like the decor of the 4th but for the price it doesn't even have a pool or pool table! Who plays Foosball anymore?!

I like the pool and outdoor area best for #3, but the no paper (TP) in the toilets is a deal breaker, unless they have that fixed now.

I really like the pool table for #2, plus it has a pool.

Anyway, those are my thoughts.

I plan on having some AirBnB's for the final few days for everyone to peruse sometime this weekend.

#2 is a bit closer to the strip for those economical uber rides  .

Either is fine by me.  I wont be disappointed by either. 

Shawn?  Nick?  Are you guys here?

Yea, I was going to start looking for the final days, but havent yet.  If you have some suggestions, send em on over.

Thanks Dogg!

Hello premium 2 wheel riders!!  I am concerned about the 6 mi gravel road, may be leading us to our demise?  What if it's atrap, a trap to catch the 2 wheel riders?  Nobody would be able to find us on 6 miles on gravel road!!  Just being paranoid!! thanks

[Nathan]

I think we can manage, besides it's not 6 miles, it is 9.6 miles...so if it was 6 than maybe I would be worried but almost 10, we should be just fine!

[Nathan]

Here are some I came up with for Provo, UT.  It is not easy finding an entire home, nobody lists them properly, and everyone seems to have a basement apartment in this town...

(They are order of my fav's!)

https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/20568465?s=51 for $300
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/23580346?s=51 for $185
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/17418561?s=51 for $148
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/18142701?s=51 for $143 (one of the better basement apartments)
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/21779832?s=51 for $296
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/21439327?s=51 for $323

Well, I guess let me know your thoughts.

Here is what I found in Steamboat Springs, CO.  Not a whole lot to choose from...

https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/20309801?s=51 for $227
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/22503875?s=51 for $245
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/6198403?s=51 for $257


This La Quinta has a 3-bed executive suite for roughly $250.

Good choices Dogg!

For Provo, my vote goes to your choice #2.  Nice place and a good value.

And for Steamboat, either 1 or 2.  I like 2 a little better, but 1 has a nice outdoor area.  Can I split my vote? 

Were you still waiting on Vegas?  Or are we good there?

[Russ]

And we don't necessarily have to stay in Steamboat either.  The map from Provo to Gordon shows a more northern route, but there may not be many choices up that way either.

[Nathan]

Accommodations, maps, and pricing are complete! 

[Russ]

Awesome Dogg!  Thanks for your time and effort in booking the rooms and putting the information together.

Shall I start on the routing at myrouteapp.com?

[Nathan]

I don't see why not.  Unless you or anyone else see any problems with the routes or wish to change them, I think they should be good to go! 

[Nick]

lets fill our gps navigators up with electronic miles!!

[Shawn]

I thought we were planning on staying in hotels after we left Vegas?
