We started our first morning in Albuquerque a bit later than usual, but with the usual breakfast at Starbucks. We decided to spend the day doing a Breaking Bad tour so we looked up all the shooting locations of the show and visited the ones we wanted to see. We were successful in finding some […]
The ride from Farmington to Albuquerque was a short and scenic one at around 3 hours on the US Route 550. We made many picture stops along the way since the day was nice and the temperature remained within a tolerable range. We arrived in Albuquerque in the afternoon and relaxed a bit before going […]
The ride from Flagstaff to Monument Valley was a fairly long one at around 3 hours, plus the break times. The day started out tolerably warm so we enjoyed the breathtaking scenery; however, by the time we reached our destination, it was cold and rainy. Monument Valley is located on a Native […]
We ended up staying in Kingman for three nights so we had a couple of low-key days where we didn’t do a lot of riding other than the short trips for meals so that we could catch up on some remote work. Our first full day was almost entirely spent at a nearby Starbucks. We […]
After a good night’s sleep, we headed towards Arizona on Monday morning. The weather was still hot, but far more tolerable than the last few days; however, we still made frequent breaks along the way to cool down and hydrate. The better weather also allowed us to enjoy the beautiful landscapes we passed by and […]
We left Fremont quite late on Saturday at around 4:00 PM. Our ride was not going to be as long as the prior ones since we planned to go only as far as Bakersfield. It was a hot day and riding didn’t make things better because the air was burning hot so it was like […]
Friday was the day we spent the day as tourists exploring San Franciso. We had a late start and were on the road at around noon. The weather was perfect; however, a thick mist covered the Golden Gate Bridge, so we couldn’t take any pictures of that. Instead, we took pictures of the bridge we […]
We were on the road at 9:30 AM on Wednesday, once again, and had a very long day of traveling. We had a big American breakfast at a diner in the middle of nowhere and then it was 7.5 hours of riding from Lincoln City to Arcata. Adding in all the breaks we took meant […]
Today started efficiently and relatively early as we were on the road at around 9:30 AM. After a late breakfast at Starbucks an hour later, we were back on the road and headed towards Oregon. We took the coastal route that took us through Astoria and was the more scenic option. We stopped at the […]
Today is the day that we packed our lives onto the bike and set out to begin on our long-anticipated adventure. The initial round of loading things on the bike didn’t work out so well because as soon as we started riding, Phil felt that the bike was too heavy with everything we loaded so […]
