Seattle Home & Mark Knopfler
/1 Comment/in North America, Travelogue, USA /by allanIt’s inevitable that wherever I park or sit still with my motorcycle eyes of passersby gaze curiously. Sometimes walking paces will slow as they scan the bike, read the decals on the panniers, other times they’ll stop and either offer idle comments or unleash a barrage of questions. “You look like you’re ready for a […]
Hostile Territory?
/4 Comments/in North America, Travelogue, USA /by allanIn planning the domestic leg of my WorldRider journey I did the best i could to plan my route so I could visit friends along the way. In Seattle I looked forward to visiting my friend and former co-worker Roland. Actually, Roland, along with my friend Bryan was the other co-founder of Wirestone. All three […]
Computer In For Repair
/14 Comments/in North America, Travelogue, USA /by allanI’ve got a bit of an issue with my new Apple Powerbook G4.

But today’s appointment is with the oldest […]
Paradise To Sunrise on Mt. Rainier
/6 Comments/in North America, Travelogue, USA /by allanAfter the embarrassing and taxing bike drop this morning I decide that before taking the Skyline Trail from the Paradise Inn to the colorful sub alpine meadows of Rainier I’d grab a snack in the lodge. I sit down at a picnic bench of massive cedar with my sandwich, chips and Arnie Palmer. The people […]
Mt. Ranier Camping
/1 Comment/in North America, Travelogue, USA /by allanI’m enjoying these Cascade Mountains and volcanoes. After doing a load of long overdue laundry in Ashford and stocking up on a few items for dinner at Suver’s General Store in Ashford, I made my way to Cougar Creek Campground in Mount Rainier National Park. To be sure, I had no idea Mount Rainier was […]
