M. Geegh said Motorcycle Journeys Through the Southwest. We took a three week motorcyle trip west in "Motorcycle Journeys Through the Southwest" according to M. Geegh. We took a three week motorcyle trip west in 2007. I would definately recommend.. 007. I would definately recommend.. It's like a virtual motorcyle trip. This books gives some pretty cool descriptions on different areas in the Southwest including Southwestern Colorado. My husband and I are familiar with the Colorado chapter and it was as though we were going through it again. Except it was in words and in our minds. My husband is going to take the recommendations and ride from the Chicago Area to the Taos New Mexico area. I will follow 2 days behind him with kids in tow. The author also provides valuable information on waterin. OK if you LIVE in the South West or plan to spend a lot of time there. My mistake. Buying a tour book that was older than 2-3 years old; a LOT of stuff is not current. Plus, if you're just passing through the area, well, it's more for people who LIVE in that area and want to make the most of all the rides available close by.This review goes for ALL motorcycle tour books I purchased. Just nothing RECENT out there.
