Springing to SoCal Valleys, Death and Owens

We are in Southern California on a wee adventure. We have our little trailer with our little dirt bikes, camping and motelling when the combined and/ors of too hot, cold, wet and windy make the camping very unenjoyable. We arrived at Death Valley first, and it’s high season. We had hoped to camp at Texas […]

Take two, motorbiking in Saskatchewan (and Alberta too)

This is another late post, of a trip we took in the fall of 2021. It’s Jan 2022 now, we’re in the omicron wave 5? of Covid now. Hang in there folks, it’s all we can do. This post is a motorbike write up, with photos. Maps too, if I can figure that out. We […]

Devils and Rainbows at Grasslands

We are at day five in the Grasslands National Park, a repeat of our visit last year, Sept 2020. We really like this place so very much. There’s such a sense of calm and serenity – yes I do realize it’s September, not January; and the weather has been favourable. But still, big skies, such […]

Foothills, Icefields, Badlands and Devils

In the year of the pandemic, there was a window of time where the infection rate was low, and the second wave had not yet started. With US and international travel off the table, we thought we would travel across B.C. to Alberta and Saskatchewan, just to see what we could see. We travelled with […]

New Mexico: Rubber Chicken Ride, and Carrizozo

In addition to enjoying the travel and sun, we also have been riding our motorbikes, so this post is dedicated to that. We have trailered our small 250’s from home, so far we’ve travelled approximately 7,000 kms with our truck. This will be out of chronological order, I thought I would start us off with […]

Windy, with a chance of tarantulas…

We’re six+ weeks into our trip now, and we’re still feeling like this trip is a new experience. We’re still tweaking things, and thinking of how we can reduce the stress and work of this kind of travel. Truly work in motion. When the newness diminishes, if we start to get tired of things; the […]

Ridiculous, sublime and the in-between

It was only last week, but seems like much longer, when we had back to back days that really amplified and accentuated the types of travel and travellers we have had contact with over our years of travel. To give a bit of understanding of us, we aren’t terribly interested in the typical touristy places. […]

First Post!

First Post! We have been away just over three weeks, and in a way it seems like a lifetime. After four days of travel from home, we were camping at Sunglow Campsite, Fishlake National Forest, near Bicknell Utah. It’s very close to Capitol Reef National Park, which is a place we visited last year, and […]

Looking back, going forward

So, we’ve been back home for quite a while now settling in to a normal routine. I’ve never done so many home renos and fixits, tiling, caulking, drywall patching, painting, stripping, moving earth and moving it back! Two bathroom renos and a major fence build. Enough, time for something else! Of course we also have […]
