I’ve never been so moved by natural scenery in my life, but as I followed the road to Beaver Creek with the massive Southwestern Yukon Mountain Range that creates the border for the massive Kluane National Park. Less than an hour outside Haines Junction I climbed a long hill and when I reached the top […]
Committed to making it to Watson Lake I blew through the town of Fort Nelson stopping only for refueling. Happy to be adorning my electric vest, I looked at the map and quickly realized that I had another 325 miles to Watson Lake. But here’s where the riding got better. Just a few hours from […]
My phone rings. It’s George at Trail’s End BMW in Fairbanks returning my call. I called George at Trail’s End BMW this morning and inquired if I could use his shop as a shipping address for my computer coming from Apple. “Now read it back to me,” George insisted after giving me his address. “No […]
Fort St. John – No Dealing Broken Foot (could be my Indian name, huh?) The foot hasn’t been giving me too much problem. Though I do feel like a gimp when I have dismount ole “Doc” and hobble to fill the tank, grab a snack or simply to try to get a good photo. But […]
Prince George to Fort St. John – British Columbia, Canada Last night while unpacking my motorcycle I found had lost something. Don’t you like that? Find something lost? Humor me, I’m trying to share this story. Keys. I lost keys to my Jesse Bags, Touratech GPS mount and my Adventure Pipe secret “stash” pipe. I […]

The sea to sky highway is a small two lane road that winds its way from Horseshoe Bay near Vancouver to the grand ski resorts of Whistler and Black Comb, this scenic byway hugs the cliffs of a magnifiscent glacier carved landscape. With the Howe Sound to my left and the tree-covered Coast Mountains to […]
As gracious and helpful they could be Jeff, Eric and Carrie at the Apple Store in Lynwood delivered me the bad news. My PowerBook didn’t make that morning’s DHL delivery. Per the information available from Apple’s depot repair facility in Texas, a part for my computer was back ordered. If I wasn’t going to let […]
My last night in the Seattle area. Whether my computer arrived at the Lynwood Apple Store or not, I’m committed to moving on and making my way into British Columbia tomorrow. Tonight I connected with my friend Jonathan who works as a wine educator for Chateua St. Michelle. We connected at the Barking Frog restaurant […]
I was extremely lucky to have the opportunity to have dinner at one of Seattle’s finest Italian restaurants with a great bottle of wine and a beautiful woman last night. Walking the streets of downtown Seattle through Pikes Market and the cozy tony Belltown Neighborhood. Everything was going right for me when it happened. Riding […]
