MarcParnes Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 During the summer of 2011 my wife and I and another couple did an extensive tour starting in Florida and ending up in Niagara Falls, Canada. It covered 5500 miles and took us nearly a month. It includes a ton of National Monuments which gave it it's Red, White and Blue Tour name. It also includes every famous motorcycle road I could get in as well as Barber's in Alabama. It took me months to put together so I figured someone else might enjoy reviewing it. It's in Mapsource format and is posted here . Marc Link to comment

MarcParnes Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 Hi Kathy, You need mapsource from garmin to see the routes. The routes are for use with a garmin gps.

Selden Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 "Goofy" is one of the great parts about touring the USA. Glad to see you managed to hit Barber's in Birmingham. I haven't been there in a couple of years, and it looks like it's time for a re-visit. Link to comment
MarcParnes Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 It is really spectacular. Actually the entire ride was spectacular. My wife took the pictures and she ran the battery out a few days so we missed some. Another highlight was Kitty Hawk. We also spent a couple of days walking Washington D.C. That was probably the best. Marc Link to comment
David13 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 They are gdb files. If you have a gdb file reader, you can see them. I tried a couple free ones, what didn't work. But maybe I didn't do it right. Maybe you could draw some diagrams or sketches of the trip. dc Link to comment
Mrs. Caddis Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Thanks for the link. I haven't been to the east coast in a long time. Nice to see Arlington National Cemetery and Niagara Falls again. Link to comment
