Is it possible to trace the fluttering line of your path back to the point when you diverged from following the route where anything you wanted from your life was possible? Did you knowingly...
Leaving Zion, I followed Route 9 east to the Route 89 junction. At the “T” of that intersection is the Thunderbird Restaurant. Unfortunately I wasn’t hungry at all and didn’t sample their food, but...
This morning, while I was out in the yard with my dog, I heard the rawk-rawk of a raven. Here on Long Island, sighting a raven isn’t an everyday occurrence. When they do cross...
While riding in Utah in the fall of ’23, seeing the Moki Dugway was a must-do. The unpaved pass was something on my bucket list for what must’ve been over a decade. I first...
After many years of passing the Village Diner on Route 6 in Milford, Pennsylvania and not stopping, I finally did it. I stopped in for breakfast on a late-summer morning in ’23. The experience...
Now, I know that spiders aren’t everyone’s favorite critter, but you have to admit that this 17-foot metal beast is pretty awesome. There are lights lining it’s eight spindly legs. Utah license plates cover...
You know, as someone who identifies as a blogger, I sure don’t do a whole lot of blogging. And it isn’t because I lack inspiration, or that I don’t have pictures or thoughts to...
If you’re celebrating today, I hope your holiday is filled with love and delicious pie. Happy Thanksgiving!
It wasn’t until I pulled up to the leaning water tower in Groom, Texas that I really understood that the lean is really pronounced from certain angles. Depending on how you approach it, your...
On the coldest day of my trip, I followed Route 64 in New Mexico about 260 miles from Farmington (where I’d met Sunny) to Cimarron. With no knowledge of the road or areas I’d...
Not unlike Sunny the Muffler Man, I spotted this large letter postcard style mural in Farmington, New Mexico out of the corner of my eye while riding down main street. It’s in an alleyway...
When I woke up in Clayton, New Mexico, my plan for the day was to head southeast to pick up Route 66 along the Oklahoma and Texas border. From there, I’d get to pass...
There were many times when road tripping through the southwest that I tried to find the balance between knowing too much and knowing too little about a place I’d be passing through. On one...
In the late summer of 2023, I found myself passing through the Pennsylvania town of Towanda on Route 6. On the north end of town, not far from the lovely former Red Rose Diner...
If you grew up in the 70’s and 80’s you are probably part of the last generation to remember first hand what it was like to commonly see chasing bulb signs, rotating Kentucky Fried...
Though I’ve written about them in the past, I just have to give another shout out to these Kriega bags – a Drypack US-20 and US-30 . Year after year they continue to make...
Ostensibly, blogging is in large part about writing things down. But you can’t overlook the impact that photos have on supplementing those writings. Images fill in the gaps where words fall short. Maybe you’ve...
While riding in Arizona, there were several times in which I had to stop myself from looking too closely on Google Maps street view at any area I would be passing through. There is...
During any road trip there are bound to be moments which are… boring. Looking out towards the horizon on a pin straight road which looks like it might deliver you to the edge of...
This year, I had the opportunity to spend a couple of weeks bumming around the American Southwest. The idea of taking this trip was something that I’d been noodling on abstractly for a while....
