Onward to Watson Lake

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 Saint John, British Columbia

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 […]

George To John – The Alaskan Highway

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 […]

Whistler to Prince George – British Columbia

I wasn’t sure I’d make the full nearly 500 mile journey from Whistler to Prince George. Not sure of the road, the scenery and photo opportunities that would unfold in front of me, all I could do is get on the road. And leaving Whistler on the last section of the Sea to Sky Highway […]

With the Howe Sound to my left and the tree-covered Coast Mountains to […]

Crossing Borders. International At Last

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 […]

A Dog’s Life

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 […]

Forget Riding, Walking Is Dangerous!

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 […]
