Be sure to use at least an SPF 15 sunscreen at night to avoid getting a nasty neon burn from the bright lights that turn this desert town&#x27;s night sky into a most spectacular display.<\/p>\n\n<p>Then, join us as we take a sampling of Appalachia in parts of Tennessee and North Carolina. Ridge after ridge of mountains, each with a deeper shade of blue than the one before, the Appalachia area of the United States has long had its own unique culture. Tucked away in the hills and hollows of the region, the mountaineers who settled this area recognized the good land for crops, the timber and the incredible scenery.<\/p>\n\n<p>Next, is New Mexico, rightfully called the &quot;Land of Enchantment&quot;, on this ride we discover the marks left by miners, homesteaders, Indians, Spanish explorers and the mountain men of the past.<\/p>\n\n<p>What could be more fun than five full days of intense riding at some of the highest elevations and on the most challenging roads that Colorado has to offer? Enjoy the highlights of the 2007 Motorcycles: On the Road Again Colorado tour hosted by Turkey Creek Tours.<\/p>\n\n<p>You have read about Tail of the Dragon, The Devil&#x27;s Highway, The Devil&#x27;s Backbone and The River Road. But what about The Ozarks Moonshine Run in Arkansas? Long known to the local riders, here we now share the well-kept secret. Just the name brings a vision of an old Robert Mitchum movie &quot;Thunder Roads&quot;:<\/p>\n\n<p>The ride between Moab, Utah and Yellowstone Park offers everything a rider could want on a motorcycle trip except maybe boredom. Tina Snyder shares information about a special ride.<\/p>\n\n<p>Amy talks with Kevin Fowler in Music Notes about his music and his humor. Her article is up close with this country boy and will have you smiling before you finish. Even if you aren&#x27;t a country music fan, you&#x27;ll want to listen to his songs after she shares the lyrics.<\/p>\n\n<p>Enjoy this issue of Motorcycles: On the Road Again.
