Evangel "Adventure" Ride To Duluth and the North Shore Eighteen motorcycle riders representing 12 bikes ranging from HD, BMW's, Honda GoldWings and Shadows to Kawasakis participated in the 2nd Annual EAG Motorcycle Adventure. Our route took us from Bismarck to Duluth's North Shore, International Falls, Warroad and finally home to Bismarck. Four days and over 1,200 miles. It’s always amazing to see how easy friendships form when riders gather. What a great group we had this year and I am excited to ride with these great men and women in the future. The annual trip is fast becoming an event that EAG motorcyclists are anticipating. Taking part in the EAG Adventure this year were: Cal and Carla Bender, Trent and Kari Christianson, Pastor Roger and Eide Will, Bruce and Sharon Walth, Jon Patch and his daughter ... read more

Nova Scotia’s Cabot Trail May 27-29, 2010 I finally arrived at the destination that I had been planning for months. The picturesque Cabot Trail where the saying is, “Come for the drive…savour the journey.” I found the Cabot Trail to be one of the most beautiful scenic drives I have every been on considering the rainy weather, fog conditions and an occasional segment of “pure sunshine” that never hampered my delight in arriving here. But before I get to the Cabot Trail let me bring you up to speed since my last travel blog. Riding the St. Lawrence Seaway was great and I had several beautiful days of riding weather with lots of sunshine. I decided not to tour Quebec’s Gaspe Peninsula due to weather conditions and lots of predicted rain. The weather forecasters turned out ... read more

NOVA SCOTIA DAY 3 & 4 (May 24 & 25, 2010) I am going to combine the next two days of travel because I was just putting miles on to get to my destination. Don’t get me wrong, the ride is awesome and the scenery is spectacular, however, the last two days the weather was great, the bike was operating at top speed and I just decided to push on past my evening check points. I have been averaging around 450 to 500 miles per day. On the way from Thunder Bay to Nipigon I had to put on my rain suit to stay dry. Not a heavy rain but one that is irritating and just enough to get you soaking wet. As you probably know, I am not a “fair weather” rider and actually welcome ... read more

Bismarck to Rugby to International Peace Gardens to Winnipeg I know my travel blog is getting a late start but you have to have WIFI to publish so here goes… A big thanks to JoLynn for planning my Nova Scotia “Send-Off”. We had many friends there and it was a great event. Honey, thanks for all your planning and special touches to make it special. I love you and here’s a great big “thank-you” across the miles. A little rain did not ruin the excitement. I had been planning the Nova Scotia ride for almost one year. Why Nova Scotia? Well, it’s hard to top the Alaskan Highway and 6,000 miles of beautiful mountain scenery. So, the Eastern part of Canada beckoned after researching the far East Provinces and Nova Scotia had a lot of things ... read more

Average number of Vegas weddings per day 315 March 30 Day 1 We arrived in Vegas in the early afternoon and were greeted with sunny skies, waving palm trees and temps in the 80's--perfect tourist weather.

We would have many choices of restaurants, shows and things to keep us busy the rest ... read more
