Central Oregon is likely to always remain connected in my mind to a video game for Playstation called Days Gone. That's because it was created by Bend Studios (located in Bend, Oregon) and uses actual locations in Oregon for the game map. Moreover, the main character in the game is a biker riding around a … Continue reading Days Gone
I'm getting ready to enter California on my run south, the usual mission as fall works its way down the Northern Hemisphere. As I was looking at routes it reminded me of how varied the landscape is in America's most populous state. From the Great Redwoods to the Mojave desert, from the snowy Donner Pass … Continue reading Snapshot 2024: Images From The Road
Crossing back into the US on the final leg of my journey. Still 2,000 miles to go, so plenty more to see and reflect on. #jkroams
The final Canadian leg of this year's journey had trees attacking, power failures, fires, and yet a serenity instead of calamity. Stay calm and carry on: Road Trip 2024 continues...
Here on the border with the US I am taking some time to look back and forward. There are still a little over 2,000 miles between here and my likely home base for the winter. There are still stop offs of places and things to see, some people to visit, and a large chunk of … Continue reading Ups And Downs And Run Arounds
Yes, I'm finally off Vancouver Island, poking around British Columbia as the first leaves start to turn yellow. I look back at this year's trip and can't really make sense of it. My plans totally changed, multiple times, and yet I did still have a goal that I accomplished. In the wider context though -- … Continue reading End of The Island Adventure
I've really lost track of time. How did September get here so quick? I can't tell if I'm behind schedule or not, because I had no plan after seeing the Mars waterbomber land. I knew I'd explore Vancouver Island after that of course, but I had only vague plans and no timeline. I took the … Continue reading Trippin’ Around Vancouver Island
Well I won't leave you in suspense: I made it. I was able to get to Vancouver Island in time to see the Martin Mars make its last flight. Where I last updated everyone though was getting down to Bisbee, Arizona. However, bad luck followed me. I got my tooth fixed in fairly short order, … Continue reading Racing The Clock: The Trek North
But if you've been following along, you'll likely note that most of my trip hasn't been a trip, but getting to places to start a trip. From Bisbee to Park City for the Veterans Charity Ride, From there out to Lexington to visit family, and the long run down from Michigan to Mexico. Most of my miles have been...
First days on the new, revised trip. Up to Ohio for some of aviation's beginnings, then west to see a chapter of aviation end.
