This being the first “summer” long weekend it’s been a classic weekend for fireworks, camping, and escape from hibernation… ” May two-four” (not because cases of beer come by the 24 as some people seem to think!). Sitting here listening to fireworks brings a handful of thoughts to mind so I’ll just rattle them off […]

A Second Moab Trilogy – This Time in Video Rather Than Words
After-thought, written hours after this was first published but as I first really got to think about it… yes, there will be a third book written for the Moab Trilogy! I was just going through the videos so I could fact check and decided to edit some of it as I went along. Some time […]
Moab Book 2: Being There
I feel like like I skipped over so many things along the way to summarizing the first part of the trip… how the weather was (soooo much better than it had been when I left TO), what it felt like to be on the road (and on the road alone)… I am really getting to […]
Moab Book 1: Getting There
It began with the forging of the Big Rings… three were given to the mountain bikers. (sorry, I couldn’t resist some LOTR-esque start once I decided to make this a 3 part tale). This trip was certainly an adventure, nothing like the trip Frodo went on though as I didn’t see a single dragon, troll […]
Moab Trip, in Three Parts
I’ve decided to break the trip down into three parts: my journey getting there, up to meeting Bob and spending a few days in Moab learning from him going to Vegas to pick up Andrea, the time we shared riding and camping around Moab, and then heading back to Vegas the trip back to Toronto […]
Desert Flora
I know better than to try to name all of these flowers, let me just say that seeing a desert come into bloom is amazing. Enough words, I’ll let the photos speak for themselves. A private garden
Back in Toronto…
I’m still just gathering up all the loose ends of the trip and have unpacked all of the “stuff” from Babe but I’m not quite prepared to sit and write down all the thoughts and memories… still digesting those I guess. I enjoyed the trip a lot, on a number of different levels, and it […]
On the Return Trip Already!
Free time with Internet connectivity has been a very scarce commodity on this trip so all of the full updates and photo galleries will have to wait. My plan is to not use motels on the way back unless the weather is a problem so there may not be too many opportunities for updates. The […]
Exhausted but still full of adrenaline…
I’m sure lots of my friends can relate to this post, it’s the result of an adventure-filled day and the effects last for a varying length of time (I assume there’s a direct relationship to the level of excitement and duration of the high but haven’t bothered to get clinical in any form of analysis). […]
On the road to Moab – day 2
It’s either 9:30pm or 10:30 pm, I haven’t set clocks so I’m not sure which time is right for where I’m camped tonight (which is the home of the Jesse James wax museum in Stanton MO, don’t ask). Regardless of which clock is right, I’m enjoying sitting here in a t-shirt… the weather has improved […]
