Put yer big people panties on, it's gonna get a little rough here for a bit. I'm a little fired up. Pun intended. So, once again California is a raging inferno, big surprise. Welcome to the West the past 15 years. Many places in the west that have fought tooth and nail to oppose any …
Cheers, good readers!! How's it been? As typical, much has happened since the end of the big trip. That interview I cut the trip short for paid off well. I'm 2 weeks in on being a Field GIS Tech with a sweet small engineering firm that I'll never name here. Like to keep personal and …
Ugh. Holy shit, it's over. For now. That was a haul unlike any other I've attempted. Trying to find words to encapsulate a trip of such size is difficult, hell, trying to grasp all that was seen and done is a lost cause. Gotta love photos and blogging for keeping track of the memories and …
Rolling into Hartland, WI had me nervous initially, but very soon that all went away and a most excellent time was had. For a very long time family for me has consisted of my sister, bro-in-law and their kids. My folks bailed from Wisconsin to the west coast soon after getting married and didn't keep …

After a solid 3 weeks in Canada, it's time to start heading east again. Here in a bit I'm heading out to Drumheller, AB to check out the Royal Tyrell Museum which is loaded with dinosaur artifacts. The Alberta Badlands are one of those rare places loaded with fossils of all kinds that I can't …
After 8 straight days of popping awake, grabbing a quick cup of coffee while packing, crawling into horrifically stinky riding gear and hammering down the road for 4-500 miles, it's delightful to be sitting in a Starbucks in shorts sipping coffee and typing. The northern detour part of the east/west trip was mind blowing and …
Kinda missed the boat by not finding time to post while in Calgary so it'll be getting done from here in Ft. Nelson, BC. As in a stone's throw from the NWT and really really far north. Calgary was a blast as usual. It's impossible not too be active there, the place calls me to …
Why, howdy! After the initial first day clusterfuck start typical of such an undertaking, things have rolled along smoothly. Not that day 1 was terrible, just a too long day ending at a poor camping spot due to the damn sun going down. Actually saw some sweet country and got to ride some sketch Forest …
On the road again.....
