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...]

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...]

I traveled this last weekend from Salt Lake City, Utah to Burley, Idaho on mostly back roads. I figured, with the exception of about 30 miles, it was nearly freeway free. 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...]

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...]

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...]

My compadres continued traveling today across the nations while I worked in a tiny office in Anchorage. Updates on the Wandering Alaskans: Michael called in from Skagway, Alaska. He said he finally got a small patch of dry weather and rolled into Skagway pretty damp, but warm. ديبوزيت He was … [Read more...]

Several folks are currently doing separate adventures out there. They all started alone, and I will cross paths with some of them when I start mine. Michael rode out Sunday from Anchorage and is riding to Skagway, Alaska where he is ferrying down to Prince Rupert. He is getting off the ferry and … [Read more...]

So, I am working in the office today, trying to make sure that I have my office packed for the road. I still need to put in 80 hours a pay period when I hit the road; it is the traveling I will be juggling. I need an internet connection and power to do my job, so any coffee shop will do! I bought … [Read more...]
