During my Pennsylvania rambling road trip to nowhere, I ping-ponged around the state visiting things that I’d long wanted to see but had never made time to. One of those stops was to visit...
The PennDOT Road Sign Sculpture Garden is an outdoor art installation located in Meadville, Pennsylvania. In July of 2015, while I was riding through Pennsylvania, I was able to stop for a visit. It...
How many times have you been here in your life? Left or right? The blue pill or the red pill? Whatever choice you make puts a different chain of events in to motion. Right =...
An unexpected stop at the Zippo Lighter Museum made my afternoon. After visiting the Kinzua Viaduct, I still had hours of daylight left and no particular place to go. Pulling up the list of...
While I’m riding along, I often pull over and snap photos of things that would be best described as random. Though I think they’re cool I sometimes struggle with a way to weave them into...

In 2013, I posted a few places that I’d hoped to visit during the year. Some I managed to get to, some are still lingering around waiting for me to find the time. It...
The Berkshire Triple, an event hosted by the Berkshire Trail Riders in Massachusetts allows riders to choose between an adventure ride, a dual sport and a turkey run. Since I have not really spent...
