The next morning I am again up early but its due to the cold and not by choice. I get myself cleaned up and go into the kitchen area to do a few things on the laptop. My new found friends, Dave, Sonia, Teddy and Stan are also up and getting themselves sorted as they […]

I am up early (again) as I am finding that it gets so cold overnight I can’t get back to sleep after I wake up. The elevation here is 6.7 thousand feet which means overnight dew and freezing temperatures. Elevation is not something that I have ever had the need to pay attention to back […]

Up I get and its a bit foggy but by the time I have a shower and breakfast most of it has lifted. I take a photo of the bikes belonging to a group of couples that arrived last night before I hit the road to Mt Rushmore. The black hills are great to ride […]

I finished off my last blog, had lunch and headed off to Sturgis. Its about a 40min ride from where I am camping and you have to go through Lead and Deadwood. The motorcycle traffic is crazy but its good fun to be in it. I get to Sturgis and find a park amongst 2000 […]

Even though I was up early I was late in actually getting on the road. I went next door to another great old fashioned diner and had breakfast; I go back and farewell my new mate Bill who thundered off on his Harley. I pack up and drop the room key to Waylon and he […]

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 […]

As hoped I get off to an early start and it’s a fun ride; I come across some magnificent weirs that are in the Colombia river beside me; I travel along enjoying the morning scenery and I go across this bridge which is known as “Bridge of the Gods” – I found it hard to […]

I am typing this blog sitting in my tent trying not to be eaten by mosquitoes. I have made camp in a one-horse town called Drummond in Montana. I need to go back a few days as I have fallen a bit behind. I left the house around 8am on Saturday to make the 11klms […]
