Overland Expo Road Trip, Day Three
Third day on the road, and I’ll admit to a certain amount of fatigue. Clearly, I am out of practise, and the short ride (relatively) to Moonshine wasn’t enough to get all the rust off. Or callouses back. I slept … Continue reading
Overland Expo Road Trip, Day Twp
I’ve slept in tent a lot in my life. I’ve even slept in tents on cement pads – but last night was awful. For reasons I don’t understand my earplugs weren’t helping with the traffic noise, and my sleeping pad … Continue reading

Curiosity was done a little while ago, but here in the Midwest winter is clinging to us like that girl from High School who just won’t go away. So I kept waiting to get the bike back, knowing that once … Continue reading
