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
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
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.
The original plan for my trip to Canada fell through, but now I'm heading to Vancouver Island for a special event. The rare Martin Mars aircraft is making its final flight, and I'm determined to be there. Despite struggling with depression and motivation, I'm pushing myself to explore and find my mojo again.
I just did a fair amount of reflecting on a deeper topic: the difference between nostalgia and genuinely remembering the things in our past that were better. It eventually devolved into thoughts about paper maps. It's interesting as a topic because there are plenty of people who never had to learn paper maps, so they … Continue reading Navigating the World: Reflections on Paper Maps vs Online Maps
Don't ask me, man... I just work here. There is little to update, as the last week has just been a long interstate burn. 500-mile days for three days straight, then hanging out on a cot recovering. I'm at the jump-off point of my 2024 road trip, even though I put about 2,500 miles on … Continue reading Road Trip Or Pre-Trip..? the story so far
