[emrat:5576] Fall Overnight 2014 - High Plains Drifter Ride Part Deux

All,

 

This year for the fall overnight ride we will be to traveling to Paxton, Nebraska the weekend of September 27-28, 2014.

 

The Plan is to depart from the Conoco station in Strasburg at 9:00am on September 27 traveling east through the high plains of Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska. Once in Paxton we will be staying at the Paxton Days Inn. Room rates are $69.99 plus tax for 2 Queen/1 King Bed room. Denise and I booked our room for $62.00 with our Wyndham Rewards.

 

We will be dining at Ole's Big Game Steakhouse and Lounge in Paxton. Ole's is a unique place and has been in business since August 9, 1933 which is the day after prohibition in Nebraska came to an end.  Ole's is filled with more than 200 Trophies mounts from the founder's hunting safaris from every continent.

 

Below you will find information on the Paxton Days Inn, Ole's Big Game Steakhouse and Lounge and the planned route.

 

If you plan on joining the group please let me know what the range of your motorcycle is so I can plan the fuel stops.
