I’ll be your Huckleberry…

So, I continued north to Flathead Lake, Montana. What a gorgeous place! It was so pretty there – especially when you climb up to the highway rise just before you see the size of this monster lake. This has got to be one of the nicest lakes. ivermectin apple I thought, "I could live here." I found … [Read more...]

Did you know Idaho gals like their spuds LARGE?

Square – Everything is SQUARE in Idaho. We had ice cream doled out to us with a square ice cream scooper. These treats were messy since the cones were still round – imagine that! We had coffee in downtown Lava Hot Springs at the Wagon Wheel and they had square mugs. Hmm… we drove out of … [Read more...]

I’ve been off the grid – Montana worse than Alaska!

Sorry for not keeping up to date. It appears that both Montana and Idaho are filled with deep holes that prevent you from communication using modern devices. Last Friday, I rode out of Salt Lake with trusty Zuma (GPS) leading the way. Now Jaz in Alaska says Zuma/Zumo is from the Raven Trickster … [Read more...]

Motorcycles in lots of pieces… But back together again…

I spent the whole day working in Tooele, Utah; quaint little town with a Taco Bell and one coffee shop. You laugh, but some of the towns in Alaska have neither. The coffee shop, Janna’s Java, actually dished out a fairly decent cup. It sits on the corner in a little pink shack that only allows … [Read more...]

Idaho, the land of farmers…

Julie traveled from Boise to Burley and reported the same thing; about 3o miles was required on the freeway (the rest can be done … [Read more...]

Screams like a gurl?

After putting in some hard work on my project, I decided to reward myself with a drive to Idaho (I know I know… some of you are saying that is a punishment, but after being in the city for nearly a week I needed out). It was way too damn hot to go south, so north it is. I headed out of Salt Lake … [Read more...]

Illy’s where are you?

List: Garmin GPS Device Coffee scoop Thin lightweight underwear - Tops and Bottoms These are the things I forgot to pack for my adventure. I left them in Alaska. Now, you say, she can live without her coffee scoop and underwear, but the GPS device? How in the world will she keep from getting … [Read more...]

Coffee scented underwear?

So, TSA wanting to ensure I wasn't packing explosives(?), took the liberty of opening one of my bags of coffee. Now, they did seal it back up... sort of. All my clothes smell like coffee now. But this is okay! There are worse things to smell of... I landed in Utah earlier today, and right when I … [Read more...]

Am I really packed?

What does one need to pack to be on the road for 3 months? I have 3 bags to check, but 1.5 is work-related books, files and computers. That means I am wearing the same clothes over and over and over... well you get the point. I always say you only need 3 outfits: 1 to wear, one that is drying out … [Read more...]
