Well I got up at 5:30 this morning and after this blog I should be up to date. I had a great sleep overnight in Four Corners and pack up camp with a view of riding the 314klms to Hardin. I had booked a room at the Lariat Hotel on line the night before as […]

Fred and I left the diner and head up the highway. I knew the day would get quite hot and I was well behind schedule after talking sheep to Lyle. I only went about 50klms up the road when I see a large sign for the Montana State Prison and motor vehicle museums which are […]

Just checked and I now have 82 followers! I will fall over if the number gets to 100. I leave the lake to Al and the mosquitoes and head off with the intention of doing at least another 400klms for the day. I get to Spokane and go off the Interstate and have a brief […]

I posted the last blog and headed back up to the campsite and packed up. Brenda and Guy told me that they were going to follow me to the next town where we could all have breakfast together. Off we went and I was shouted (they wouldn’t take my money) a great cooked breakfast and […]

I am writing this blog sitting outside a recreation centre in an RV Park so I can get an internet connection. Hands are that cold that I can hardly type. I spent my last night in Issaquah having dinner with Elizabeth and Earl. I had asked Elizabeth if it was possible to get Earl back […]

At the end of my last blog I had a great camp until the rain came (around 4:00am). I wake up to the sound of rain and its still very dark outside – it must have been raining for some time as I could see a bit of water laying on then ground sheet in […]

I have borrowed a term (in god we trust) that the Americans love to use – it’s even on their banknotes. I ended my last blog saying that I was lucky that there was no fog around when I was about to leave Brams house – well that was correct until I rode out of […]
