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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Ok.. on to the next road I am supposedly not to take…! It’s called the “Top of the World” Highway and apparently several motorcyclists have died on this one as well. One just 2 weeks before I decide to ride it. I hate to even report such things, as for one, it’s very sad, but secondly, in perspective as I said before, there...
So… the Dempster experience continues. I’m still just doing my little test of the road.. and still have NOT A CLUE why people tell me it’s too dangerous!! This road is, at least this far, one of the nicest easiest dirt roads I have ever been on.. anywhere.. even in the rain! They certainly look after it and maintain it very well...
Onwards and upwards toward the top of the world from Whitehorse on the Klondike Highway! Road hazards.. 😉 Road hazards extended family… too cute! Spotted this old wood cabin in the woods… my mind starts daydreaming about what it must be like to live a life up here in the bush, off the land.. pretty harsh but beautiful! Rather common site ever since...
It’s all about the cute little bears in this part of the world!! I made a mad dash through British Columbia and had a plan to travel up the Stewart-Cassiar Highway toward the Yukon. One of the great recommendations from nearly everyone is to take a 67 mile diversion to Hyder Alaska.. Why not.. I’ve never been to Alaska, I am so excited to go there.. on...
