I had been thinking about a longish ride multiday ride in the West. Up until now, I was going to go California coast, and I may still do that, but I have decided I will have to do a I15, I70, I40, I25 loop. On the way out I can hit Barstow, Primm, Mesquite. Utah is kind of sparse but very nice scenery. There is one stretch of 106 miles with no gas, but I think I can handle that okay on the Strat. Lot's of breathtaking panoramas (and not much traffic), possible Grand Canyon stop - and my world headquarters is conveniently located in Las Cruces NM. A good deal of it is posted at 75 mph, a big plus.

Here are some photos from my recent reconnaissance of the first part of my proposed route:
