A new place to park my motorcycle…
I have been immersed in the haze of searching for a new abode. Gary and I have been renting for three years now, and with prices and interest rates so low, we are entertaining a new home, but boy not without trials and tribs. We went through a house inspection yesterday only to discover that…

While at Miette, I met an awesome couple. He was a rider and she a rider to be. She had ridden a small 250 and was bitten by the bug and couldn’t wait to do some more riding. This is one of the things I love most about touring, seeing the glow in another female’s…
