Not a Motorcycle, but just as exciting, the Miata sees the SW…
It was a holiday of indifference. Not that I don’t enjoy the company of my two sons, but without the grandboys, Christmas just didn’t seem like Christmas. Gary, who decided to make it difficult for all other husbands, gifted a 2010 Miata to me for my being “a very good girl”. He had two mandatory…

Riding the World…2012
Every year I like to do a culmination slide show of the year of riding. This year I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to ride with one of my best pals, Tyler Risk. We did a 3500 mile ride up to the great Northwest and Canada in the summer, seeing some absolutely gorgeous…

Photo History of a section of US Hwy 60 in AZ…
I love finding old and new photos of an area to compare and this section of old Hwy 60 is no exception. On the left a photo now and right an old tinted postcard. US Hwy 60 was one of the first east-west transcontinental highways. It was commissioned in 1926, stretching from Virginia Beach, Virginia…

Riding with an ol’ friend… an un-solo adventure!

Goin’ South–A female tale from the desert of the Southwest USA Pt.3
The ride to the actual Lees Ferry took me into the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, a sparsely visited park for more serious outdoor sports enthusiasts, which in of itself is ironic, since that certainly doesn’t describe me! The Colorado River is disguised in this area as a lamb, tame and braying softly. I found…

Riding the Grease: Page to Cortez
Page AZ to Cortez, CO and Mesa Verde didn’t provide many miles but we did go through Monument Valley and some totally awesome country. Every pic you have seen of Monument Valley can’t help but display the “real” thang. There is almost no way to get a bad pic, much like the Grand Canyon. I…

Riding the Grease: Antelope Canyon, AZ
Antelope Canyon is simply amazing. I have seen plenty of desert canyons, but nothing to compare to this. I must add, though, that the Navajo Tribe, though doing a fabulous job preserving the site, does not aptly prepare those wanting to see the canyon. It is steep, narrow, descending approximately 100 stairs, and they what…
