I have the tourist info, but that's not good enough...Nevada has the biggest wild horse population in the US..I want to hang there until clear weather/an opening in the NW[Oregon/Wash.] and allows me to run there..I'm into forests/hot springs/salmon/Bald Eagles/camping/mountains..I can't find info on wild horse areas that have the best chance of me being around them..The 911 is all set up and ready to roll..I ride solo and tent/bag/tools/CB radio/V-1 go in the pass. seat area..I have a couple of guys from the board that have offered me coffee and local knowledge when I know enough to ask questions..I'm usually on a big ride between 6-12 weeks...I don't really want to see a stop light when I leave metro NY...ANY GOOD TIPS ON ANYWHERE IN THE US would be helpful..I zig zag the whole country..The last 911 big ride was 14,746 miles..

I did the driving, but my friends on this board made the ride very special. I will do my best to answer any questions, and critique any impressions I had from this ride and the places I visited..............Ron
