So now after a year on the market looks like we have a solid deal on our property. A few small repairs to do and Closing scheduled Sept 18th or possibly before. Our original plan was to sell our place here near Houston Tx and find a smaller place now that its just us 2 and all the kids are scattered from KY,LA,OK and Ft Worth relocate to N central Arkansas as we have spent a lot of time riding that area over the last few years as well as Colorado ,all over Tx ,and a few places in between. Buy or build a smaller house on a couple acres preferably near town but not really in town. We’ve lived on 10 acres for the last 16 years near a smaller town but only 20 miles from downtown Houston. Sick of the traffic,High Taxes, etc etc. now we have decided before we actually decide where we will eventually settle down to a permanent place to live we’re going to take an extended road trip. Pretty much the RZR trip of a lifetime. In the last few years we have taken several extended trips lasting up to 2 months at a time and never wanting to come back but because of business and residential obligations had to eventually come back. So we sold the business and started in on the house. But with a year of getting rid of all the stuff you accumulate over 16 years that you don’t need or use and selling off the Harleys and other unused toys ( probably replace the dresser once we settle into a permeant place) we finally have the "stuff" down to a manageable amount that will go into storage here until needed. A few items have gone to or will go to the kids places.Remaining items to garage sale in a few weeks and the rest goodwill.
So now that we have a deadline and a long list of things to do We’ll be really busy the next month. I’ll continue working at least until the end of the month helping out a friend with his business the spend the next couple weeks finalizing the remaining details.Right now I’m starting on the small stuff and lining up people to do the things I don’t want to tackle.
After we hit the road we’ll be heading to Cloud9 ranch in Caufield Missouri for the off Camber rocks rally and joining the resort as our eastern US base of sorts.After the rally we are joining up with another member for a few weeks ,possibly more , and head east making a stop at Turkey Bay in western Ky for a few days. I used to live in this area and went last year for a few days.may even visit a few vendors along the way that are in the area. Next we’ll head east working our way to places in east ky ,east Tn and possibly continue on to the WV stomping grounds . Would like to hit as many events and group rides as possible to meet as many people as we can along the way.
When the weather starts to turn then we’ll head out west Az and Ca . Plan to hit the new years ride at Glamis. Nothig is set in stone. We’ll plan our travels as we go. If we’re close to something that catches our attention then thats where we’ll go.
I know this is a lengthy post and now finally getting to the original question. If you could do this where would YOU like to go?
We have at least a year and plan to finish up(maybe not lol) at the Colorado ride at Taylor park.Like I say nothing set in stone but we have been planning this a long time.
Here’s a few places we’d like to see or plan to return to,
Cloud 9 Caufield Mo. Off Camber Rocks Rally—This will be our 3rd year at this ride
Turkey Bay Rec area-LBL west Ky
Possibly make a side trip by ORB or Special Carriers since they are near.
Hit a few riding areas heading east.
Maybe the east coast rzr rally at Trails end brimstone?
WV and ohio areas . This area we’ll be looking for places to go and people to meet ip with.
When the weathers starts to get bad we’ll head west . definitely making a stop at Waynoka in OK (one of my favorite places)
Hope to make a sunday ride with FJK and the guys in NM on our way through.
Got to make it through MESA for a visit to UTV inc,
Camp RZR at Glamis is a must do.

I will be doing a blog about the whole adventure but will take a bit to set it up so anyone who wants to follow along can. i’ve never done this before but several people have insisted I do this to make it easier to track us and keep from writing such long posts on here lol.

In short we’ll just be running around racking up the miles on the xp1k (already have 2600) I’m completely servicing everything. replacing all wheel bearings, ball joints , tie rod ends,brake pads and putting a wrench on every bolt. After I lose my lift I’ll be working on the ground so want to keep that at a minimum for awhile at least lol.
So let me know where is a must place to go or must place to see. Hope to meet up with as many forum members as possible along the way.
