Rounding out 2023 and onto 2024.

July 9th Checked out Cape Canaveral not a cheap place to visit. Space man watching you 🙂 and lots of rockets I rode down the Florida coast to Homestead. Stayed in Homestead at the home of FLARider1 and ARTchicaOTB. Andy is on his ride to Alaska and Prudhoe here is...

More waiting and constant coverage and speculation on TV. Very cool to be here for this historic event. My host Jim walked with me over to the beach at 11am. Not too many people here yet. Not having been to a launch, I was not really sure what to expect. But set up...

Stayed across for the beach in Flagler Beach, FL. Was great to walk the beach, smell the salt air and enjoy the beauty. Up early to catch the sunrise and all the changing light conditions Of course taking time to smell the flowers.... peaceful way to start my day....

Started my day at the BMW dealer in Atlanta. Needed a new rear tire, and it made sense to get it done before the tires were in threads These were the EXP version which are too soft and wear out too quickly. It was all that was available last August while on my way...

Continuing my ride into the deep south on my way to the Shuttle Launch. It is good to have a place to be going and a timeframe, but it also adds to the choices as you need to keep moving. Packed up in the morning and said goodbye to family. It was a great visit and...

Spent a few days with my lovely Niece and her family. The kids were excited to see "Uncle Mark"!! Of course As soon as I took off my Riding boots they wanted to be in them. One of those kid things. The bigger the better, and Uncle Mark has big feet! Spent part of the...

Southern Hospitality at it's best!! One of the great things about the ADV community is connecting with other inmates as we are out riding the Globe. Walt is the first inmate that I am staying with on this ride, and it is great!! First he rides me through some great...

Across southern Texas and toward Mississippi! While in Texas I see a bunch of Bail Bond locations and then Drive through Daiquiris? Not sure if there is any connection. People in line waiting at 11Am... Then into Louisiana . Seeing some BBQ places and Cajan cooking...

June 30th stayed in Wichita Falls, TX on my way to see my cousin in Houston. It was hot along the entire ride through Texas, but was fun to see family. Seeing lots of Cattle, and Oil pumpers (have no idea what the real name is ) Capturing the late day ride ! I had...

As I rode out of Colorado Springs heading east. The mountains changed to farm lands. What always amazes me is when I am out riding in places far from people.... I see FedExpress and UPS trucks out to deliver packages. Stopped for fuel. Interesting label on the Pump. I...
