I look back at the content in this blog and see it is all about my third chapter. As I seem to be embarking on a new, fourth, chapter it’s giving me cause to reflect on the previous ones. It also has me looking at the last two posts which were both tales of endings. […]
An Ode To My Family
It’s been a long time since I last contributed to this blog. For a wide variety of reasons. I haven’t been motivated to sit down and spend the time it takes to create new content. The big trip Andrea & I did in 2018 has the last meaningful contributions. The last issue of Pedal Magazine, […]

The End of an Era
Yes… it’s been 10 months since I last posted an update here. I will try to do better going forward. I felt like I wanted to express myself again. For the first time in a while. So let me ramble on. I’ve been working my way through my Next Chapter for 8 years now and […]
A Few Stats from our #2018RoadTrip
I have previously mentioned that this was the longest trip Andrea and I have done. I don’t have stats from the previous longest trip (in New Zealand) handy but I do have some from a 2016 trip to Colorado and back. That was 4,149 miles of driving and was 19 nights / 20 days long. […]
Sun and Snow Define Our Southwest Leg
This has been a challenging update to add! And there are sooo many more queued up behind it. I started this in September and it’s now November! Sigh. The High Sierras Before I leave our time in Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks behind, I should mention that having gone through the rain forests of Olympic […]
Hello from Asheville!
I’ve tried a few times over the past month (Even longer? Yikes!) to get a new post up on this blog and have failed. For a variety of reasons, all quite normal and understandable. Limited connectivity in remote places, unstable connections in busy places, limited time to invest as the adventure continued day by day, […]
Turning The Southern Corner of Our Trip
Blogging as we travel has been a challenge. In part because we’ve often elected to be in remote locations. Also because we’ve been keeping busy enjoying all these amazing places. So… this blog entry was started a week ago or so (10/7), I’m continuing it here where we’re camped just outside of Durango (10/13) and […]
As We Start Month Two
[Warnings: a) long, and long overdue, post; b) it’s late, I’m tired there will be mistakes I’ll fix 🙂 ] Hard to believe that we’ve been on the road for over a month now… this is officially the longest trip Andrea and I have done. The previous one (search New Zealand in this blog for […]
Road Trips Involve Detours
[Sept. 26 update] How could I overlook the first theme that set the trip into a proper Westy perspective! It’s included below. — There are always unexpected moments in any trip. I think back to our Sark adventure from 2017 and how many unexpected detours happened. Some minor, at least one major (and expensive… losing […]
Back in the USA
From Seattle to Victoria and then back to Washington state… this story is about waking up early to catch a ferry back to Washington and our adventures as we explored more of that state while the previous two talked about our time visiting those cities. This is the end of week two and into the […]
