After a week at my sister's place in Lexington, it was more interstate as I worked my way toward Bisbee via Austin. The initial run was nice, as there was some two-lane down to Bardstown (I still haven't stopped at their distillery for a tour) and down to Abraham Lincoln's birthplace south of Hodgenville. Once … Continue reading Westward on Familiar Roads
Back in the US, but I owe you a recap of the 2nd half of Newfoundland and my return trip across the Canadian Maritimes. Right now I'm in Kentucky, because I got ahead of the fall weather and I'm waiting for the leaves to change again. When the world allows me to, I wait up … Continue reading Leaf Surfing: The Endless Autumn
I'll have plenty to say about Newfoundland once I've had awhile to explore it. So far I've seen some of the far west coast and it has elements of Scotland, Colorado, Washington State, and Alaska. It's mighty far north so that should come as little surprise. What has surprised me is the people. Everyone I … Continue reading Onto The Big Island: first views of Newfoundland
I'm writing from a rare space for me: a warm bed. I found a Bed & Breakfast on the northern peninsula of Newfoundland (NL) and the proprietor told me I could stay an extra night for free since it was raining all day. That's the kind of thing that seems to happen on this island. … Continue reading Trading Islands: Nova Scotia and Beyond
Having been in The Maritime region of Canada for about a month, I'm sure it was a good idea to finally make it this far northeast. The weather alone works for me, with a similar feel to the Pacific Northwest and Northern California. Prince Edward Island (PEI) has bee especially picturesque. It feels like I'm … Continue reading Canadian Coastlines and Islands
The delays have been necessary, but it's still a relief to have gotten into New Brunswick, Canada. The weather is most welcome, the fuel prices least. It's time to slow down and get off the main roads though, so fuel economy will go up. The trip is finally in the "trip" phase and not the … Continue reading Finally, Canada
There has been a lot going on, but not a lot that's newsworthy. By the time this post goes live I will be leaving Texas and making tracks northeast. It was supposed to happen in early June but whatever...life often has its own plans. I've made good use of my time in Texas though, on … Continue reading Finally, The Journey North Begins
This news is highly deserving of being told, but it has also already been told in detail, just yesterday. While normally I would just share the article on social media, the topic as a whole deserves a moment on the soap box. Specifically, the lid has been blown off a paid campaign to get MAGA … Continue reading Hashtag Authentic: The Uninfluencer
Good day fellow humans an non-humans. Just a brief note about a post on my other page, Ride>Eat>Repeat. It's from when I went to the Friday Fish Fry below the historic Saint Patrick's Roman Catholic Church here in Bisbee, Arizona. It's a shorter read than the deep-dives which make up the foundation of the RER … Continue reading Lent and the Friday Fish Fry
The same is true for returning home. You can't come back home, because it will have changed, just like the flowing waters of a river change with every moment. Born and raised in California, I have a lot I dislike about the general direction the people and government want to take the state, but I'll … Continue reading You Can’t Cross The Same River Twice
