A long strange trip (part 7) – wherein our sad tale inclines to a happy ending (because it had to, right? all that crazy shit could not go on forever…)
In case you somehow missed them all: Part 1, Part2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6 But first, how about some pix?! Humans are pattern makers. Find two Best Westerns that allow pets and you really ought to keep checking the Best Westerns. Which is how we found the Best Western in Lyons, France. Lyons was about…

A long strange trip (part 6)
In case you missed it: Part 1, Part2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5 The Best Western? The place that took pets in Denver about a million years ago? The clerk at the Hotel Frankfurt Messe was pointing down the street. But he could as well have been the messiah, pointing at heaven. Was there really a Best Western…

A long strange trip (Part 5)

Then we went for a vehicle at the Sixt counter. Figuring…

A long strange trip (Part 2)
In case you missed it: Part 1 In transit, from the Denver airport, then back to the Denver airport, then across the Atlantic to Frankfurt, Germany, we’ve taken almost no pictures. No question we’re exhausted, quite demoralized and wondering what’s next. And when you’re wondering why the hell you ever decided to sell your home…

A long strange trip (part 1)
How does one get from Santa Fe, New Mexico to Cordoba Spain? It’s a long long story. One that doesn’t start at the Albuquerque airport because one can’t fly with a dog and two cats from Albuquerque to somewhere else and then on to Europe. It took us 6 days in fact, to get from…

Photo from The Independent 17 June 2015 My fellow rider and friend Lois Pryce has written a wonderful article on Yvonne Stagg, who owned and rode Dreamland’s Wall of Death.
