Rounding out 2023 and onto 2024.

We headed out of Cuenca over the Las Cajas National park toward the coastal plains. We have been up at 7-8K since arriving into Ecuador as Quito and Cuenca are in the Mountains. Over the pass and then down the other side had some really great roads. Young James is the...

Woke up today and it was raining really hard. The good thing about long term travel is that I have no schedule. Have been working on some plans and it has been good to have some time here with not too much planned! Saturday we went to a local Market to pick up some...

Just finished a Video that recapped our ride in Colombia! Hope you enjoy.

The last three days have been spent relaxing in Cuenca, Ecuador. It is an old colonial city and have a good feel to it. We have just decided to hang out and relax. Have been working on some new plans for April-July and needed time to get it sorted out. James was...

We stayed here, at the Alternative Hostel. Just outside the old town. Xavier who runs the place is great! It is $10. PP /Night. Comfortable beds, hot shower, and a secure garage for the Motos! Both Clark and James had oil changes to do. and James did his Valve...

There was a festival going on in town, including people spraying this soapy foam, and throwing water ballons at passerbys. Not to be left out...... Brad bought some water ballons and Sprays. Clark got nailed, but was ready for more. These are the people we bought our...

As I have been riding with Young James it has been interesting as I am 21 years older than he is. I do not feel Old, but have certainly reflected on the differences in perspectives and life experiences. At Casa Helbling one of the staff asked James; " is He your dad?"...

Taking some days in Quito to work on a few things. Stayed at a good hostel Casa Helbling. Has secure parking ! http://www.casahelbling.de/ We have seen more Jugglers at lights as we rode south. They Juggle then ask for $ before the light turns green. One of the things...

After so many border crossings in Central America that are hectic, hot and long. Crossing into Ecuador was going to be "tranquillo". Pulled up to the Border station, which came up really fast after Ipiales. Parked our bikes, no "helpers" running up, big sign so we...

Parked our bikes in front of the Hotel Senegal in Pasto. They had one the most comfortable beds I have slept on the entire trip! Just a couple hours to the Ecuadorian border. But we had to stop and see the Sanctuary La Lajas. Our first glimpse as we road down the hill...
