I went for an 850 mile, three day motorcycle ride to the Texas Hill Country at the end of May with some friends. That's pretty much all I have planned for the summer.

[Steve]

If money permits, me and 3 buddies are driving down to Myrtle beach to play a few rounds. We'll either be in my avalanche or in a 2000 Cadillac STS

The wife and I are planning a motorcycle trip down to Austin and San Antone for 3 days, looks like we'll be going in July sometime.
In the fall were planning on trailering the bike to Kissimmee FL and riding with my cousin down to Key West for a few days.

I am planning to go see my brother in Nashville (I live in Maine). I originally thought I would fly, but am considering driving. I might visit someone in PA on the way down, and I might get crazy enough to visit another friend in Florida.

As for vehicle, I will NOT be taking any of my current vehicles. I'd have to get a second to pay for the fuel. Probably rent something. My brother got a Must@#g Convertible once, said it was nice.

We are going down to Bowling Green Kentucky this summer, to visit the Corvette plant and take a tour through it. Then we are going to spend a couple days at the Goodguy's show down there, so all in all it will be a three day event.

Hoping to take a trip up to Canada and at least one more trip to either Wyoming or SD to take my family to some places they've never been (Devil's Tower, Yellowstone, Mt. Rushmore, Black Hills, Winnipeg). Don't know how that will play out though since i'm looking at forking out about $1k for new tires for the truck and probably another $1k for the Durango also. We'll most likely be driving the truck though since it'll get the new tires first and I'll be getting a collapsable truck topper for the pups to ride in the back.

may go to canada the end of september fishing for muskie again, a groups of us has gone the last three years, not sure if everyone is still going yet or not. will be hauling "the 18 foot canoe" as my buddies and i call it, its the most narrow bass boat anyone has every seen. made the trip last year in my '05 silverado 2500 for the first time, sucked on gas but who cares when you got cold beer and a fishing pole.

We are leaving Sunday to go to Pine tops North Carolina near Rocky Mount. This is my first trip with the burb and the travel trailer. We are going down to do some work on a friends house and visit.So i won't be back until next Sat. I'll miss GMTC next week , no internet were I'm going. You all pray for us that we make it there and back. I took my TT a short drive on the interstate a couple weeks ago (5 miles) and about lost it. sincethen I put air bags on and added another sway control. Changed air pressure in tires move some weight around in camper and took another trip 5 miles and was able to keep it between the lines. l

My Family and I will probably be doing lots of ocean trips this year as we've already gone twice this month
and we would also like to hit the Oregon coast line this year!
I just upgraded to front brakes to the BAER drilled and slotted, so far so good! I wanted to be safe and ready for when doing some longer trips plus with the trailer and toys behind it!:whistle:

[John W]

Heading for the rock in about one hour. Will be gone for two weeks. Maybe little salmon fishing while I'm there.

Actually that sounds like fun. If anyone can attend I'd put that in the HHR Forum (http://www.gmtruckclub.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=17568) just in case you could pick up an extra car or two.

:great:

Awsome outstanding car in Germany, kids turning crazy when its tumblin down the road..:gasp:

Alan is first time touring in Europe since 1990 and makes three stops in Denmark, Sweden and Norway.

My best trip ever was in Sep 2006, when I flew in to Vegas and driving from there up the West coast with a Trailblazer to Anchorage, AK ..
