Goin’ South–A female tale from the desert of the Southwest USA Pt.7
My cow buddies…and here I thought there was at least 100 animals braying all night and I discover when it was light out, that there were only 8 or so babies. Poor guys!! If you note, there is a beefalo among them. I was told that National Geographic did a story on this little guy,…

Goin’ South–A female tale from the desert of the Southwest USA Pt.1
Another great adventure began…one of “what comes next”, as I stood helpless watching the State of NV take my father to be evaluated. Well, I guess not helpless, as I could have gone and gathered him up and brought him to live with Gary and me, only life as we know and enjoy it would…

Day 2–Ely, NV to Moab, UT
The morning came early or maybe I should say the night never ended. Down the hall in the Hotel Ely, a vintage hotel casino, a lively all night party brewed and by 2 am I’d had quite enough. Rather than yell out the door as others had done and been ignored, I put on earplugs.…

The CO journey begins! Sacramento, CA to Ely, NV
Had the bike packed and was on the road by 9am. For those of you that know me, this is a serious feat considering I didn’t make my usual 5 trips back into the house for forgotten items! It’s amazing when a plan comes together. The one thing I didn’t plan was how chilly it…

Nearly time for the AMA Women and Motorcycling!
In preparation for the conference, I got a new camera to document the ride across the country as well as colored highlights in my hair! I be styling now and self-portraits will abound! The camera is a Kodak Z915. It is a clever little camera with a 10X zoom and 10MP. My old Kodak has…

We knew we needed to do our best to include Bryce NP in this day so after absorbing the complete beauty of Capitol Reef we rode onward toward Bryce. Panguitch was our overnight spot with Kharon’s Harold’s Place Cabins as our destination. It was a tough job, this trip, and we were doing our best…
