Summer rapidly comes to a close, and with it the time I have left in the South. Having been on the road for a year, I am ready to head back to my home in the PacificNorthWet.
It’s been a great run, and I’ve made lots of new friends in this area.

Rare find in Louisville
Was touring the Frankfort Road area today and found this gem.
My camera ran out of memory before I could completely document it.

Cooler days
So my friend David, who is just days away from leaving for Iraq drags me to Lake Chelan for a weekend of camping and duel sporting. We set up camp along the lake and except for one other couple, had the lake to ourselves and the ducks. Next day we packed up and headed out for 25 miles of forest service roads. We climbed up 6200 feet into the snow line and found frozen water on the road, but it only lasted a few hundred yards and we made it back. It was as great trip and as it happens our last trip together.

Vancouver Island, Sep 25-26 2010
My friend David and I went up to Vancouver Island last weekend; David is getting ready to head over the pond to the really big sandbox and we wanted to make it up there before he flys.
Headed out early Saturday morning, still missed the 0820 ferry from Port Angeles to Victoria. We eventually landed at 2 pm and headed up to Port Renfroe. We were headed to Lake Cowichan but it began to rain…
So, we ended up camping on the beach. It was wet. Both David and I took turns getting soaked going into town for supplies.
Never made it up to the lake, but there is always another time.
How does this go?

End of Summer, 21 Sep 2010
Today is the end of summer, 2010. This was a very busy year, with the BMWMOA Rally in Redmond Oregon, touring Vancouver Island with my brother Dana and then again with my friend David. I also had some challenges that tested my belief system and for a while caused me to wonder the “why” of my sport. At one point, I went into SouthSound BMW and when stepped into the store felt like I was going into a crack house. When does a sport become so consuming that you lose touch with the rest of your life?
It doesn’t take long to figure out priorities in life when you are on a journey
I’m digging it.

End of June – Will summer ever get here?
June 28th, 2010: Today is another cool and cloudy day here in the NorthWet. Spend the weekend down in Hood River, Oregon at the Advrider PNW Gather. Great to meet the people I see posting and the music simply rocked. Chris and his family have a great place tucked in between two peaks and surrounded by orchards. This is a must do next year if offered again.
The airhead GS still sits on the lift waiting to be reassembled.
Next on the agenda is the BMW MOA rally in Redmond Washington the weekend of July 17th, then two weeks up in Vancouver Island touring the island.
Coming back from Chris’s I wandered up along forest service road 1400.
