FORKS On The Road Back To San Diego
/4 Comments/in North America, Travelogue, USA /by allanBack at the wheel of the FORKS Tour Van, I decided to head back to San Diego and ultimately the van will be shipped with Doc inside to Washington DC for the Travel & Adventure Show there.

Doing Dallas: Food & Travel
/0 Comments/in North America, Travelogue, USA /by allanArriving in Dallas road worn and with the Chicago salt slowly eating away and making for an unsightly FORKS Tour Van, it needed a good cleaning before facing the Dallas Fire Marshal and attendees of the Dallas Travel & Adventure Show.

Southbound: Chicago to Memphis

Beginning this weekend, I will be […]
Ski Colorado: Steamboat Springs—Ski Town USA!
/0 Comments/in North America, Travelogue, USA /by allanWhy has it been so long? I asked myself this over and over again as I carved turns run-after-run down the fresh snow and groomed runs at Steamboat—Ski Town USA in Colorado. I guess the answer is simple: like so many of those things we love to do—our passions—all too often we find excuses not […]
