Actually, you should prioritize a visit to Cable Springs.
Then you won't have to visit Deaddog City or Poictesme...
S'mee
Hey homebound...why don't you just fuck off you ignorant uneducated
untraveled grumman reject. I mean sheesh, you are a 80 year old VIRGIN
chickenhawk.

It sounds like you've never been on Route 66 or any other cultural
backwater besides New Jersey, chief.

Well, he can always research and try to impress people about his
famous ancestors. That's what people without real achievements to be
proud of do.
Road Glidin' Don
I liked it too. My wife and I are even giving some thought to riding
that route as a result of reading it (she's already been saying we
should go to New Orleans anyway).

Don't forget to tour Pico Blvd when you visit Los Angeles. That's as
big a tourist attraction as Old Route 66, just ask Thumper.

You really are *dense*, aren't you?

Well, if you ever roll through Utah, look me up. I'd be proud to ride
a few miles with you and your wife. I'll buy lunch.
BryanUT
The sad thing is that he calls Route 66 a "backwater". Route 66
defined America at a point in time, it is historic, like Gettysburg or
the Oregon Trail, or US 50. America, like everywhere is full of shit
holes and some shit holes are the cat's meow.
I love the shit holes I love (they remain my secret), other shit holes
I avoid (anyone else see that stupid TV show about the Full Throttle
Saloon in Sturgis, that is a shit hole I will avoid).
Road Glidin' Don
Uh oh. Shouldn't have said that. I just might! <g>
S'mee
Oh POOR Krusty...yet another chicky lost to him.
S'mee
Talking to yourself again? You know I looked up your so called
ancestors...everyone of them did ONE great thing yet the rest of their
life was failure and waste, not to mention the prelidiction for
buggering the neighbors sheep.
S'mee
> (anyone else see that stupid TV show about the Full Throttle

No, I've never had the displeasure of being dumb enough to watch that
show and I don't just avoid THAT saloon I avoid the entire county
Sturgis resides in. Drunken parties with 10,000+ of my closest friends
is not my idea of a good. time much less time well spent.
S'mee
WTF would any sane person go to a street you frequent?
I'd rather go to Castro street anyway...better show.
S'mee
After a quad mocha of my creation they wont sleep until AFTER they see
you. ;^) It's a given they'll need my prefessonal escort along Going
to the Sun Road...and a nice little side bet of a road called Looking
Glass Mountain road nee' MT49. 8^)

Aw, there's probably worse things than waking up to find your Honda in
a tree.

I'd advise against meeting him at a MacDonalds in Park City and then
following him over a high mountain pass, unless you have snow tires on
Gladys' new Softail. ;-)

The Black Hole of Calcutta and the Hanoi Hilton were "historic"
places, too, but
I wouldn't build a vacation around those sites.
Neither would I build a vacation around retracing the route that Peter
Fonda and Dennis Hopper followed while shooting a movie.
To do so is to validate a fictional story as "real". It would be like
spending time in London going on a Sherlock Holmes "tour" instead of
visiting the Tower of London or the British museum.
So far as "historic" Route 66 is concerned, I figured out that it was
a waste of time to stop and investigate *anything* when I drove my
Jaguar through there in 1963.
Many of the shabby, rundown businesses are where the Okies ran out of
money during the Great Depression or local farmers going broke decided
to try and make a living off of the continuous stream of passersby,
like Cable Hogue did in "The Ballad of Cable Hogue".
The only thing Hogue really had to offer to the stage coaches was
*water* and when
the motor car was invented, it didn't *need* water, so traffic just
drove on past Cable Springs.
Maybe if Deaddog City had a better chamber of commerce, more people
would visit
there too...

Shoot, with that humungous, 200 wide tire it has on back, her bike
might do just fine!

Good! Stay well away from it and we'll never run into each other. I
happen to like the Route and ride it any chance I get. Then again, I
like the Natchez Trace, the BRP and a few other "backwater" routes too.
If you actually rode a motorcycle and grasped the concept of "travel"
and "vacation", you might grok why it's popular around this group.
Fuck, what am I saying? You never leave your little compound and
interact with real people other than your Messican whores.

No...I'd be waking up in jail, the fuckers trying to string up OG
would be dead. Fuck with the ride is exactly like fucking with a
cowboys horse...obviously a pack of thieves and yes your 'onor I used

Well he is living in a minimum security prison for geriatric
criminals...what do you expect? Doesn't help he's the prison snitch/

Bingo! Serendipity! Your little display of hate just aroused my
Gaidhlig *tenacity*
and I found something totally unexpected.
You mentioned the Natchez Trace. Some of my people still live in
Tishomingo County, Mississippi along the NT Parkway so I started
websearching for them and I found a family treasure: pictures of my
great greatgrandfather and great great grandmother and great
grandfather who pioneered the Dakota Territory in the 1880's.
My ancestors really *look* like stout-hearted pioneers in those
century-old pictures, they looked like real survivors.

Smart aleck.
Actually my great grandfather tried to homestead in Iowa, the Dakota
Territory, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Montana, Idaho, Kansas,
Colorado. He wound up in California during the Great Depression and
got a job working as a janitor for an oil drilling company when he was
79 years old.
The traditional model of one American family on a 40 or 80-acre
homestead just did not work in the western USA. The problems in the
arid regions were lack of water and lack of labor.
What did work in the western USA was the Spanish/Mexican rancho on a
large land grant. The holder of the grant didn't work, he managed the
virtually free labor of several mestizos or Indians and did not try to
improve the land.
They ran horses and cattle and ruined the land even further. Cattle
will lay around in the shade under any available tree and eat the
grass that grows in the shadow and pretty soon the tree dies, because
it was living off the dew that condensed at night.

I am constantly amazed -- and sometimes astonished -- at what
I learn on Usenet.

I'll thank you to NOT compare those beggars to honest horse thieves
like my ancestors who stole them for the same reason the plains tribes
stole them, wealth, status and pussy. All honorable reason...all his
family stole were goats for puposes of violating the Comstock act and
possibly the Mann Act as well.
S'mee
and still the lies pile on...sure can count on you to not know when to
stop lying.
S'mee
yeah, his understanding of how things work is so skewed adn twisted as
to make for a good inadvertant laugh.

It just might!
Make sure you yield the right of way to the snow plows.
Gaidheal

Hey, there is *no* rain forest around here.
Understand that, in this case, where I'm talking about California and
the arid western states that only get about 10 inches of rain a year,
the trees *are* living off the condensed dew.
And the Spaniards didn't notice any difference between arid southern
and central California and the Iberian peninsula, which ia actually
part of the *African* continent, it's not part of Europe, even though
you can drive there from France.
It was just natural for the Spaniards to bring their cattle in here
and make the environment even worse, it reminded them of the ruined
Iberian peninsula.

Looking for company? I'd like to join the expedition
if I can arrange it.

I can definitely contact you if we decide to go, Sean.

Oh fuck off you lying sack of shit. You made it up, goat raper.

In fact, post it on reeky! Maybe others can join for a day or even just an
afternoon.
