This Alaskan tour in the just-arrived WomanTours catalog caught my eye:

Have you been in that area, CWR? And come on, tell us your suggestion. Some of us will listen.

Hey, Deb, I was actually considering that tour myself. Those parts of Alaska are gorgeous, once you get away from the tourist centers of Juneau and Skagway (and even they have their attractions--when they're not flooded with cruise ship passengers). My brother and his family live in Juneau so I visit there about once every couple of years.

Alas, the dates won't work for me, but I'd love to hear about the tour if you--or anyone else here--decides to take it.

I vote you come to PDX and take a day to swing down through Eugene, too. Eugene is incredibly popular with bikers and culture, esp. with the new hospital going in. Lots of fun folks there, too. PDX and the surrounding area is home to TE and hey, I'm here!

no i haven't been down to that area. looks like it would be beautiful though. nice little tour of the area.

i personally would go anywhere where there wasn't a lot of tourists or poeple in general, but thats just me.

not sure of any other specific tours like that around here, but i'm sure they wouldn't be hard to find.

Well, then convince me, dear. I'll listen. Since when do you give up so easily?

[chickwhorips]

good point, but i know its expensive to fly up here and a long trip.

[Kitsune06]

I still vote for the PNW. In fact, I second myself. Why? If the US was a box of granola, and one shook it hard enough, all the fruits, flakes and nuts would roll to this coast.

... and I know for a fact you're a nut.

[Xrayted]

Ya mean I graduated from flake to nut? Coooool!!

Kitsune - I'm afraid if I come over there with you, I may never leave. Hmmm, come to think of it, that's not so bad, is it?

X.

Edited: Sorry CWR. **on my knees, giving the puppy eyes, with fresh veggies and fruits in hand**
I really do value your opinion on all of this. I've actually dreamed of going to Alaska since I was a kid. I just never had the guts you've got. I'm working on it though, really. Don't give up on me yet, ok?

Signed,

Chicken Sh*t X.

Have to second Rogue Dog's posts about Napa, Sonoma and Mendocino. I'ver ridden thousands of miles (truly) in all of those counties and it's just fantastic here. If you decide to do that, I can give you heaps of specific ride route suggestions. And yes, there are a group of TE-ers here. They're (we're) weird enough to be fun, too.

[Xrayted]

Thanks, MP. It seems like a lot of people like the Napa Valley area. I'm getting lots of Cali posters on this thread.

I'm still keeping an open mind though. I'm writing down things that catch my eye in each post.

Need to hear from more states. I know we have people in just about everyone.

BMo3 - I may have to come to Ohio for a short jaunt just to calm you down, woman. It might be cheaper to mail myself to ya, though. **Uh oh, the little wheels are turning up there**
