Sturgis And The Return: 2025 Edition

The ride home gave me time to reflect on Sturgis Rally 2025 and my time with Motorcycle Missions.

Milwaukee and Motorcycle Missions

Not only did I make it to Kentucky since my last post, but I then went north to Milwaukee, for the Harley Homecoming event, where I met up with the people at Motorcycle Missions. While I had met the founder, Krystal Hess, at Sturgis while volunteering for Veterans Charity Ride, this was my first chance … Continue reading Milwaukee and Motorcycle Missions

Eastward: navigating change

There is still no plan for a big summer trip this year. I'm in the process of moving from southern Arizona to Kentucky, via Lake Tahoe, California, but with it being mostly interstate, there is little to get excited about as far as photography is concerned. I spent some time in Las Vegas helping a … Continue reading Eastward: navigating change

The Final Leg of 2024

This really was being on my last leg. Tires all worn out or leaking air, out of food and clean clothes, out of money, and nothing but miles of desert between me and the end of Road Trip: 2024.

Shadowing The Sierras

A lot can happen in a week when you're on the road. This time, the end came. The end to this chapter at least. I'm technically "off the road" for the winter, arriving near Bisbee, Arizona last night. My most recent post had me not even in California yet. The only thing to do is … Continue reading Shadowing The Sierras

Days Gone

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

Trippin’ Around Vancouver Island

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

On The Road Again

Well, I'm getting far behind on all my writing, so I'll make this far more brief than it should be. I've been back on the road since Memorial Day Weekend. This time I'm focusing my travels on Colorado solely. It is a state that truly deserves its own trip. I'm also switching bikes since there's … Continue reading On The Road Again

Of Lobster Rolls And Bridge Trolls

I had finally made it. Honestly though, it didn't feel like a climax. I decided to ride to Maine to get a lobster roll on a lark. I mean, what else was I going to do? And so here I was, in Hampton, New Hampshire, ready to cross over into Maine and accomplish my goal, … Continue reading Of Lobster Rolls And Bridge Trolls
