Exactly my question. I hope that when you are finished this fantastic trip, you could maybe publish a summary itinerary, so that the rest of us can do the same.

Keep up the trip and postings, cause I'm lovin' it!

Re: 72 Super Roadtrip-Coast to Coast

The good ole Internet

And many places We just strike up a conversation with somebody

They will say

Have you ever been here? We google it
Say what the heck 'let's go check it out'
That's how we just found this restaurant

Study it closely

How did we have 2 beers
2 margaritas
4 tacos
3 enchiladas
And whatever else

For $25 bucks

I new it would be good when we walked in
And they wouldn't let us sit 2 people at a 4top

Oh well we sat at the bar

Re: 72 Super Roadtrip-Coast to Coast

that's pretty cheap but in TEXAS you never get charged for chips and salsa.

Re: 72 Super Roadtrip-Coast to Coast

They don't charge for chips and salsa in Ca either
But I figured a couple bucks wasn't worth complaining about

Back to the museum

Check this thing out

I have a 37 Chevy. All original, at home
But not a ''ute

Before last year I woundnt have even known what one was
But my good buddy Joel who now lives in Australia
Worked at some sort of Kangaroo petting zoo
Drove newer ones all over the place

If you can't zoom in on the description let me know. I have a close up

Re: 72 Super Roadtrip-Coast to Coast

Ok guys
While we are doing the research on a place for breakfast
That will measure up to last nights dinner

I thought I would give you an overview of
The Harley Museum

But they happen to have every single artifact about Harley's
And nearly every year of a restored or original bike from 1903
So you will have to go there yourself

What I did try to do, was get a picture of one for each year of our trucks
I'll now go thru my photos and see if I succeeded

Looking for the 69
Or they didn't have one to look at
But!

That museum is mecca to Harley Folks of which I'm one. I too have been there. If you get a chance go to the motor assemble plant and take a tour. Safe travels!

Re: 72 Super Roadtrip-Coast to Coast

If you're still in Milwaukee, you need to visit Lakefront Brewery downtown. It's like no brewery tour I've ever done. It's a hoot!

Man, now I'm disappointed I didn't find this thread before you passed through on I-65. I'll be watching where you go the rest of the way.
