Originally from America. Proud citizen of Australia. Currently riding my motorcycle around the world. 44 countries so far and counting. ;-)
The time has come to leave Baja California Sur and take a ferry across to the mainland Mexico. I’m really glad we chose to do Baja. It’s a unique part of the world I’ll never forget. James and I were prepared for the lengthy paperwork process to purchase our ferry ticket. When we got to the counter there was only 1 seat left on the...
We continue south in Baja California Mexico toward Cabo San Lucas. Interestingly, many people told us not to bother with this town. Far too touristy and expensive they say. Luckily we have been offered a place to stay and camp by a Canadian couple Lars and Michelle. They live just north of Cabo in a smaller town called Todos Santos. So that’s...
Adios to San Ignacio… really loved this little town and would be one I hope to go back to someday. Back on the road to the bottom of Baja California Sur. What’s fun about Baja is if you follow the main road from top to bottom, it changes which side of the peninsula you ride on a couple times. So from San Ignacio we temporarily ride down the east...
Packing up for this morning’s dirt ride to the rock paintings in Santa Martha Mexico…Gonna be a great day!!!! Our host at the guesthouse tells us the road is extremely difficult. When we asked the guy we had to see about getting permission to the site in San Ignacio, he said the road is easy.. I guess we’ll see! I’m so excited and...
On the road again! Really, I hate to have that tune in my head, however, this is the first official day of being on the road in Mexico. Yesterday didn’t count.. Well it did, but it was different. We were still California, a couple hours held up at the border crossing, then on to Ensenada for somewhere to eat and sleep for the night. So...
My bike has been working SO hard ever since I arrived North America. It’s been completely across the United States from east to west, all the way up to the Arctic Circle and Alaska, and back down to the bottom of California. I think the bike deserves a little attention. So I take it to a KTM dealer in southern California for a thorough check before...
Death Valley here we come!! Wait a minute! The road is closed..!! (Screw that! 😉 We’ve been on paved park roads long enough now.. NO idea why the road is closed.. it’s not going to snow anytime soon. It’s not water logged.. there’s nobody around to ask, and it looks like far more fun than the average paved road the masses of...
After leaving the casino the following morning, Randy heads home to Oregon while James, Adam and I move on to the famous Yosemite National Park. But before we do.. after a night in a nice warm bed and a proper shower, we KNOW we are going to be camping next. So off to the grocery store to stock up. I keep teasing these two that it’s embarrassing to...
Early morning, back on the road west coast California. ANOTHER beautiful day for riding a motorcycle………!! One thing I did notice the farther south I got was a fair amount of homeless people along this road and just long the road, nowhere near any community. I hadn’t seen this since Anchorage Alaska. I would pull over to...
Traveling in the northwest United States, it was about this time I made a commitment to speak at the upcoming Horizons Unlimited meeting in Cambria, California. I was somewhat close (same side of the country), I love meeting up with fellow travelers, so new goal to get there in time is set. The rushing through the world continues for me. Ever since I arrived...
