BrokeBack Mountain Moment - sorry for the screwed up screen

Neah Bay ride

Neah Bay, Washington is the most northwestern point in the lower United States.

This morning at 8am some friends and I are riding to Neah Bay and then back. We're starting at the West Seattle Fauntleroy ferry.


















































The day started out kinda funky. Was on the ferry but as soon as we needed to rev up my battery wouldn't start. So I had to roll the bike out into the Ferry terminal and look at the battery. I have a Gerbing battery connection attached and a Cigarette lighter (to charge my devices) also attached.

I disconnected those from my battery posts and the bike started up. Need to investigate that.

The rest of the ride was wonderful except for some of the traffic. Got home by 10 pm.

Day after the trip

So back and relaxing today after the trip. It was a great trip, some drama but over all vey good.

Things I learned:
1. Don't read your work email while on vacation, can ruin it.
2. Get a SPOT GPS tracking device, on of the best purchses made.
3. I suck at camping.
4. Thermarest sleeping pads aren't great.
5. Tents are not easy unless you practice setting them up.
6. Garmin GPS NUVI REALLY blows when on a motorcycle. The glare no matter how you try and fix it makes the device useless.
7. Love my new cigerrete lighter 12 volt to charge my devices.
8. Love my friends.
9. Love riding.
10. My butt hurts, need a softer seat.
11. Love Camelback water backpack
12. Check out Touratech, got a great dry bag there. Worth the money.

Montana Trip Day 3

So funny thing we were supposed to camp last night but when we finally got to our destination all the campgrounds AND all the hotels/motels were booked in Sandpoint. It seems they're having a 10 day fair.

So we found lodging in Bonners Ferry, a town 35 minutes away.

We had a 2 bed room with 6 people & a dog sleeping in it. The room was maybe 350 sq ft.

So it was a tight squeeze. But I slept pretty well.

We're starting our day with getting gas, checking our tires and grabbing something to nosh on.


More to come.

Planning for a trip

So a couple of my motorcycle friends have nudged me towards taking a 4 day ride to and back from Montana. Very exciting, except I don't camp.

So this will be a very new experience for me. I'm a little nervous. Not about bears or wildlife, but more around cleanliness. I mean I'm not used to crapping in the woods. I'm also a twice a day shower person.

I've gone out and gotten what I've been told are the essentials. Wow, not cheap.

We leave tonight at 6pm. So I'm pretty close to being all packed.

I'll post pics and updates as I have phone access.

To track me see

This is my SPOT GPS tracking device. It won't show anything until I turn on "tracking'" mode. Then it sends out a signal every 10 minutes.

See where I'm at.

Thanks
