Today’s sunrise was muted by ominous dark clouds that foreshadowed the weather for the day. Our itinerary included a couple of drive-bys today – sights, not experiences. We’re amending our plan on the fly as we are ahead of schedule, and hope to take advantage of the time in hand to visit Arches National Park, […]
What a day! We got an early start from Louisville, KY this morning and headed for the first star of the day. You see, any time I see something that looks interesting I place a star in Google Maps, and whenever we can we go and check out the marked location. Today, we went to […]
Today, as we travelled from Princeton, WV to Louisville, KY we saw a few funny signs. We thought we had even found a shortcut to Canada, but no such luck. Our first stop was in Matewan, WV which is known for being the epicenter of the 30+ yr Hatfield – McCoy feud. It’s also known […]
Well, our time in Norfolk is over. Today, we hit the road to cross the continent and return to Vancouver Island. Along the way we will stop and see a few things; we’ve nicknamed this trip the “Weird and Wonderful” trip. In preparation for this move, we sold all of our motorcycles. This is the […]
It was such a long night! The wildlife was very active, with the insects, birds and other creatures of the night contributing to the nocturnal symphony. We particularly enjoyed the pack of wolves (it sounded like wolves, but Angela though they could have been coyotes) as they howled together, possibly celebrating a kill? It was […]
We met Anna today while waiting in line for a ride at Disney Hollywood Studios. She is an awesome teacher, and we did this each time our paths intersected. She inspired dozens of others to keep themselves occupied during the lo-o-ong wait. Click here to see the video. Watching Anna smile and eagerly anticipate each […]
Despite not having to tear down and pack a tent, it still took us 90 minutes to go from waking up to rolling out! Fortunately, our first stop wasn’t far down the road. We spent a good hour and a half crawling though Castillo de San Marcos, the oldest masonry fort in the US. It […]
We had a sound sleep in the comfortable surroundings of our generous Bunk-a-Biker hosts, and hit the ground running with a full slate of stops. What is Bunk-A-Biker? Think of it like a free version of Airbnb for motorcyclists. Likeminded individuals open their homes for free. In exchange, while traveling you get to make new […]
Well, it was another frosty night. Even though it was a few degrees warmer than last night, it sure didn’t feel like it! Angela didn’t sleep so well, and so with near Herculean effort we arose and managed to put on smiles as we broke camp and headed out for the day.Much of the day […]
Oh boy, was it cold last night! We were tucked deep in our sleeping bags, but that wasn’t quite enough, so I unzipped mine and draped it like a blanket over Angela and me, and we huddled as close as we could get to keep warm. Fortunately, the day started to warm with the rising […]
