Spyderweb Across America - WA
OK folks... Lets get this party started shall we? It seems clear that Lamont has come up with a pretty cool idea (Link) and I for one feel compelled to help make it happen.
What routes shall we take? Should any of these be combined with our friends in Oregon or Idaho?
Things I think we should have on the table to consider...
- Not running on Holidays
- Possibly do a relay type event? Passing an item of an original design that would be handed from one ryder to the next? Maybe it mounts on the Spyder some how so as folks see us they know that ryder/ryders are running the event?
- Possibly check points along the way and a contact list given to the participants (Not post on the web at all for all to see, but a private one) for verification of the route taken and or issues/break downs along the way?
- Videos. Or like I now do with my Go-Pro... Pics every 30 seconds. For the memories and fun factor to post here
- Shirts? Or "I participated" stickers?
Anyway... Just off the cuff thoughts, and love this idea... Input please!!!
-
Almost forgot.. If you have a Garmin they have a Ralley Route of maps (Link). Just putting it out there for stimulus to the ideas...

KISS
At this point I am IN...but would like to see the age old KISS theory applied:
Not make it so technical/involved that folks say "to much"....besides my aged spidey brain operates much better on simple.
Cascade Gateway Loup is a nice ryde with wonderful sites and places of interest...covers both east/west of cascade mts.

I'm in Western WA and I think we should include some spots on the East side. Grand Coulee is definitely one.
How about Dry Falls?
Chelan?
Columbia River Gorge?
Spokane?
Others???

From the East (Ohio) I would submit...
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (Cleveland)
NFL Hall of Fame (Canton)
Hopewell Mounds and Serpent Mound
Underground Railroad (several sites in OH)
Cuyahoga Valley National Park (Cleveland to Akron)
Brandywine Falls (in CVNP)
Olentangy Caverns (I've never been there).
What about visiting the HIGHEST POINT in each state (provided a road goes there. That would leave states like California out. Maybe the HIGHEST ROAD in each state would be good.).
