Originally from America. Proud citizen of Australia. Currently riding my motorcycle around the world. 44 countries so far and counting. ;-)
Next stop as I travel south through the United States is Mt Rainier National Park. I came in a bit late in the day and had a little look around. Magical park, really like it here. Barton arranged for me to stay in the rangers camp.. with nobody around, I set myself up for a rainy night.. Luckily the rangers camp is right next to the lodge, where I...
This will come as an absolute shock to anyone who might have been reading my blog in the past and have found that after a very long time, I have another blog post ready! Those who follow on facebook have the most up to date events for me. But as I said before, finding time when I am around a lot of people has been a challenge for my writing time since the United...
As usual, my blog posts are dreadfully behind.. I can only say that I have been on the run, moving fast through several countries, enjoying people, places, roads, oceans, jungles, deserts… etc etc etc. I have so much writing to catch up on and I hope to have time off from the road shortly to do so.. In the meantime, I am in Chile!! If you follow us...
The Alaska Ferry from Haines to Bellingham, Washington was awesome, so glad I did that for a couple reasons. One, I rode up to Alaska on the same road I would have taken back down, and I usually don’t like doing the same road twice. Secondly, it got me south nicely to avoid riding through the bad weather. However, when I arrived Bellingham, I knew...
With the bike tucked nicely on to the ferry in Haines Alaska, I settle in myself on the dry warm deck upstairs. It appears that the last few motorhomes are making their escape from Alaska just in time like myself! Last views of Haines and that big old white house I stayed in, second one at the top on the left. It’s still raining like crazy but never mind.. how...
Finally! I’ve made it to Haines. Being here was a big goal, as I know from this point, the threat of a big early snow (which I have been warned plenty about) is not likely and even if it did, it’s where the port is to catch the inside passage ferry which means it can snow all it wants now! I didn’t get snow, but I kind...
Finding a place to sleep tonight was a bit challenging as normal. Again the majority of places are closed. I found a campground that looks open, I went in to have a look. It was open if you have a hard shell camper.. which I do not! Followed through the place to see what I might be missing and urgh.. I want to stay. There wasn’t another...
Sorry for the lack of postings.. been having too much fun! Still that same dilemma, do I stay in a room at the computer or go out and enjoy life. I will at some point get a break and get back to work typing, but for now.. a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR and thanks so much for following!!

While I was in Anchorage, my hosts and their friends convinced me I must take the boat from Whittier Alaska to Valdez. I’m obviously aware of the Valdez history and would be interested to see, however riding my motorcycle back the same way I came would be far cheaper than taking this boat. These well traveled people insist that this is one of the...
The “Top of the World” Highway was great fun, absolutely gorgeous and remote. It’s only 127 km (79 miles) long.. and is closed to vehicles from October to April (I am here in mid-September). Not much time to spare.. Along the route comes a most famous little town with a whopping population of 7, Chicken Alaska. This is a first for me...
