The final leg of the Big Money Rally Run to the SW!!!
Ok…finally let’s wrap this journey up!!! I grabbed the first motel in Holbrook which happened to be an American’s Best Value. I wasn’t expecting much, but it ended up being super clean, crazily painted, and had a great bed. What more can one expect, all that and for under 60 bucks. They provided a voucher…

Big Money Rally continues across NM into AZ and UT
The next chapter! I actually slept in a bit and didn’t get up until nearly 8am. The wind was already blowing, although without nearly the power that would come later in the day. I geared and packed up and headed to my friend’s home 30 miles east of Albuquerque but stopped on the way to…

The Big Money Rally continues…
I’ve been visiting friends. The first was a moto-pal in Edgewood 30 miles east of Albuquerque, and now I’m in Truth or Consequences with some wonderful pals from my days of living in Alaska. I am fortunate to have some great places to stay along my journey. I didn’t get many BMR shots in Albuquerque…

Big Money Rally…CA, NV, AZ, NM, TX as weather allows!
I never thought I’d need motivation to go for a motorcycle ride, however this winter has been one where even though the weather wasn’t bad, I just wanted to hole up and vegetate. I haven’t been motivated to do art, to do much knitting or even to get into some fine cooking, so when I…

Big Money Rally Winter Ride…continues
The sunset in Monterey was truly gorgeous and I shot a 1/2 million shots from the bike as I headed for my motel to get one that was actually in focus! 😀 It was odd, as I got to the beachfront Best Western, I was certain Gary and his family would be ahead of me,…

The Big Money Rally and a reason for a winter ride!
Well, we don’t have much winter in CA. In fact this year we have had almost none, so trying to create a “reason” to ride is like trying a new wine or a new meal, I mean why not?? As I read about the Big Money Rally, I was keen to give it a go,…

Riding the World…2013 A year of contrasts and loss
A ponderous year, 2013, full of poignant moments, sadness and bliss. I lost some wonderful friends this past year as well as my father, all of which broke my heart bit by bit. Thank the stars for the gift of travel and the renewal I receive from the journey. Gladly, I move into the new…

Riding the NV/CA mountains with no particular place to go! Part 2
I was up early, but the chill of the morning made me reconsider an early start. Instead, I sat on my bed and sorted photos deciding what was worthy posting and those that were less so, as I awaited the rising temperature. Before long it was in the 60s and I was ready to head…

Riding the NV/CA mountains with no particular place to go!
Hugo coerced me, made me pack all the wrong stuff, took me the cold way and then didn’t allow my gerbing to heat. How’s that for a third date and does that make the romance a one sided type? Oh dear, I had a lot to consider as I attempted to scoot through a huge…

Roadtrippers…what a jewel
Every now and again we find something of tremendous value on the web and for me this was finding Roadtrippers.com. Roadtrippers is a place for travelers who are not only seeking a road less traveled but also the nearest home made castle along the route, or a well regarded diner, or a gas station representing…
