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...
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...
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...
