I was hoping that by heading east across Wyoming I would sooner or later get out beyond the range of the wildfire smoke. Three days later I found myself in Gillette, Wyoming’s tourist information asking them how to get around the high wind warning. I have been trying to avoid the interstates on this trip. Mostly because I think they…

I Wanna talk About Me
New Page added. I put it off as long as I could but there was a push for me to fill out the heretofore blank About Me page. I couldn’t sleep last night so typed it in on my phone. There you go.
I’ve seen Fire and I’ve seen Rain
I spent a Sunday afternoon in the shopping and entertainment district of Boulder Co. No easy feat in this outdoors crazy town. Boulder and half of Denver were taking part in an afternoon bicycle race in and around town just as I was driving into town. I had to wind my way through a maze of blocked off and one…
Like A Hurricane
After my peculiar night in Chadron, Ne, I was off to see what I really came to Nebraska to see, Carhenge about an hour deeper into Nebraska but on my way out too. Not sure of the logic but a farmer got it in his head to bury and stack old cars in his field. I first saw it when I…
Ain’t that peculiar
Lets face it, the bar is pretty low but I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised with the little slice of South Dakota I saw in my three days there. Rapid City had a good deal of public art. A well attended summer music night with 2 stages and blocked off streets. The music was family friendly, which is…
Smoke From A Distant Fire
This is long but I wrote it quickly. Minimal Editing at this point. I thought I might be able to beat the tour busses and RV’s getting in before 10am but that wasn’t the case. Dragging the trailer behind me made it difficult to find a parking spot amongst the already crowded parking lots around the popular hot springs areas.…
In A Big Sky Country
I probably didn’t even scratch the surface but I think I covered a good bit of Montana’s mountainous western side. My opinion of it is mixed but mostly favorable. The people that I met were friendly and engaging but not in a “in your business” sort of way. Compared to Seattle, it is nice that people acknowledge your existence in…
Don’t take my kodachrome away
PS in advance. I typed this on my phone. I’ll fix any typos. Etc when I get to a proper computer. Those of you that have been following my travels over the years, know that I can be pretty verbose in blogging through them. This trip so far hasn’t been overly recorded. With a lack of internet, writing space and…
I Love to work at nothing all Day
So I was “stuck” in Whitefish, Montana for as few days while I get my bicycle situation sorted out. I must say I have had worse problems than having to find something to do in Whitefish. I realized that I had been gone 2 weeks already but according to google maps, I was still only a 10 hour drive from…
Up On The Roof
As I alluded to in the previous post, I made it over the Continental Divide and on to the surprisingly busy city of Missoula without anymore axle/wheel problems. It went so well that after a quick drive around the city without finding any campground that availability, I decided to press on after a relaxing beer at the Flathead Brewing Company.…
