That O Trail and a Ghost Town
April 16th, 2016
Still recovering from the long previous 4 days, Max and I slept in a bit at the sacrifice of what we later learned to be good weather. By the time we were up and moving, a storm had rolled it, snowing in the upper canyon. Near white out conditions existed beyond 1 mile of visibility, […]
Game of Inches
April 12th, 2016
A good nights sleep on a real bed, probably the last one for a while, ended with the usual alarm clock spitting fire in my ear. I dressed and greeted Max as he was doing some final packing. He’s much more of a morning person than I am (I think it’s the coffee). Like my […]
Pause for the Cause
October 1st, 2015
I volunteered to do this. When your family needs help, you do everything you can. I’m just wandering around the country, it’s not like I have a job I need to take time off from. —- I was in Davenport, IA and just had a flat tire. During my walk of shame I decided to […]
Illinois – Footgolf
September 5th, 2015
So far, I’ve managed to enter a state, enjoy my time there, and continue on, never returning. But, as I also said earlier, I suck at planning. Fortunately, I have some of the best friends a guy can ask for, and even with short notice, they’re willing to open up their home and schedule to […]
Indiana – I Like to Wander
September 2nd, 2015
Though Indiana is small, it still takes some time to drive around and hit everything. Another day of wandering was in order to see some sights, and get some work done. I started off with some car work and then headed off to the Indiana Art Museum. I’d heard it was free, which meant I […]
Indiana – Stranger Things Have Happened
September 1st, 2015
Indianapolis! Home of the Indy 500 and…uh…other…things… Unfortunately, I didn’t get to find a visitor center upon arriving to the state, so my information on what was around was limited to trip adviser and random event pages. Armed with no idea, a camera and a bike, I wandered off. Indianapolis is one of the smaller […]
Indiana – Gold Sand
August 31st, 2015
Saying goodbye will never be easy, especially with such short visits and long stretches between them. But, it was time to move on, and even though I’d only spent a few days in Illinois and only one city, time restrictions sent me to Indiana. The first destination was to see the Indiana Sand Dunes. A […]
Illinois – Field is a Misnomer
August 28th, 2015
After a long day of biking, not dying, eating good food, and staying up far too late, we decided to get up early and attack the day to make the most of it. Not. Rolling out of bed at 11, I was the first one up and took the time to stretch and gain function. […]
