The road out of the back side of Mike’s Sky Rancho heading West was tough right out of the parking lot.

Baja – The Ride to Mikes
It feels good to be back in Mexico. This is our 5th year in a row in Mexico and our 4th time back to Baja. It’s much more fun to be on the small motorcycles as we return to some of the classic Baja offroad routes and a few new tracks we didn’t want to dare on the bigger motorcycles. 
Death Valley Part 2 – The Ride
Day 1 plan: South through Panamint Valley past the ghost town of Ballarat then over Mengel Pass to visit the ruins of the last hideout of Charles Manson. Down Warm Spring Canyon and into Badwater Valley then over Jubilee Pass into Shoshone for lunch. Sounds easy right?
A few cold days in Death Valley Part 1
We are on our way to Baja Mexico for what evidently, is becoming an annual tradition of seeking out warm weather south of the border. On our way we decided to connect with our friend GPSKevin who was organizing a loose group of friends to ride in and around Death Valley. Continue reading
Almost Home
Yes, we made it home but not without more adventure…. I suppose that’s why they call it Adventure Riding. I’ll try to catch up on the last three days of our journey.

It looked like a lot of people had camped there on the previous holiday weekend and trash was still overflowing the garbage cans.

We tried not to think about it too much and packed up quickly to leave. Continue reading
Nevada is a BIG state
9-12-15 Saturday.
We ended up getting a late start from the luxurious KOA, we took full advantage of the showers and a nice dry morning to access our plan for the day. We took some time to go over the bikes, adjusted and lubed chains and the boys pulled their air filters which were a huge mess. Continue reading
More Utah
Tuesday 9-8-15
The nice thing about KOA campgrounds is the showers, laundry, free WiFi and this time even a pool. We were glad for some down time and Jon was able to soak his sprained ankle in the cool water.
Let the real riding begin
Monday, September 7, 2015. Moab, UT Weston stomped the black widow spider before I had a chance to take a picture for the blog. Fortunately he spotted a web on his sock that had been stuffed in his boot all night and thought to shake his boot just in case. Continue reading
The big Surprise!
Thursday September 3, 2015. Salida, CO.
Deby called me a week or so ago and there was a small window of days that would work for a surprise visit on September first if we would be near a big city. She had to coordinate schedules with Jon and Weston’s girlfriends but it might just work out for the three of them to visit. Continue reading
