Why would you do Trip's to Rae's and then back? That seems backasswards... And the rest of the trip... You need a better trip planner.

let me explain it better

coming from my parents in fargo

staying a couple days in Omaha at my bro's

from there headed to FL but stop'n for 1 night in St Louis and the next night i'll be close to Trip so I figured I'd try bum'n his couch for the night... (oh Trip do ya mind )

Then Down to Rae... back up with Rae to Trips.. to meet him and Drewpy.

Then to Indy. from Indy I figured I'd ride with NtS to Cbus to Iron Pony... then head up to Gasmans.

From there head back to spend a little time with my bro's in Omaha again (my other brother will be there by then)

Then over to Colorado Springs to do some house hunting for my next base

then back to Omaha for a free nights stay at my bro's again... and back to ND.

yeah I'm all the fuck over the place!

Depending on what weekend it is if i'm home from school, as opposed to spending money to stay in St. Louis, you could stay at my place in Mexico, MO, about an hour west of St.L on I-70.

I have the Garmin 60csx.

I had wanted a GPS for a while and as soon as I discovered geocaching I had to have one. The 60csx is a handheld so you can take it in the car, on the motorcycle, on the mountain bike, or simply walking around. When in the car you can hook it up to the laptop (via USB) and it works with DeLorme for excellent mapping. Otherwise it uses MicroSD cards to store maps and information (it really holds quite a lot).

On the motorcycle I love using the speed/odometer screen to see what my actual travel distance is. Took it skiing a few weekends ago and looking at where I'd been was pretty sweet. 20 miles overall; with 14 of it being going down the hills at a maximum speed of 33.3mph. I forget what the max and min elevation were. They are fun to have in airplanes too!

I also have a ram mount for mine. In the car it isn't a big deal since there are usually two of us and a laptop, but on the motorcycle and mountain bike I mount it on the handlebars.
