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...
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...
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...
