If you haven't flown past yet, you've got a bed in central AZ - in a town whose primary downtown feature is named Whiskey Row....

Thanks for the offer again, but i breezed by to the north of you through Utah, and with the weather this week, i had enough. 30 degrees at night and rain during the day, enough.

yeah ive been "dry" for the last two weeks feeling ok, surprising i can live without it.

Those are the cliff dwellings at Mesa Verde National Park in Southwestern Colorado.

yup this one is called the cliff palace in Mesa Verde, south west corner of colorado, made by the native americans many moons ago.


for sure its been one hell of an experience, just hoping to inspire some one to make move they have always wanted.

I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

Ok finally home and got the last round of pics up. But first thanks to all the DMF'ers that offered places for me to crash. Sorry if i wasn't able to make it. There are still a lot of places i wanted to visit, but time ran out on me. Thanks to all for route advice and positive comments along the way.

And special thanks to those that i did end up staying with, thank you for opening your homes and giving me a comfy place to rest my head for the night, and food and booze.  drink

Duck-Stew for emergency chain replacement help

East Coast DIMBY riders  waytogo
Hoosier Holigans  waytogo
Capitol Area Monsters  waytogo
Northwest riders  waytogo

Some numbers on the trip
Just shy of 15,000 miles
2 rear tires
1 front tire
3 separate crossings to Canada
1 trip to Ecuador
1 hurricane
4 chickens rescued
39 States
1 Chain
2 rear tail lights
0 mechanical issues

Well i hope i inspired at least one of you to go out and make that trip or dream you've always wanted come true. Here is just an example of what the US has to offer so go out and see it. In case you missed my Asia tour go check out my blog www.100kilometersandrunnin.wordpress.com and start from Jan 2010. I guess this is officially the end of part 2 of 3. Part 3 will be a ride through South America: Ushuaia, Argentina back to California. For now its back to the Philippines for me to kite-surf and be a beach bum for the next 7-10 months.

Until next time... Ride Fast, Take Chances.

And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.
