DAY THREE Today we all woke up and what a pleasant surprise to see the sun and blue sky. We knew it was going to be an awesome day of riding to the Big Horn Mountains and then to Spearfish Canyon in the Black Hills of South Dakota. This morning we had a devotion about light and darkness...we do not have to do anything for the darkness to be there - it simply exists and it takes no energy or effort for it to be dark. But it does take energy and effort for there to be light and light pushes out the darkness. But it has to be an ongoing effort. The minute the light goes out, darkness encroaches. In our homes we can have light at the flip of a switch. You can do ... read more

DAY ONE Today was day one for a group of Evangel Assembly of God motorcycle riders from Bismarck, ND and what a day it was. However, before I go into detail let me tell you about the group. Some may have called this the "Wild Hogs" adventure of some older than average motorcycel riders trying to take back their youth! Well yeah because one does not get younger and needs to ride whenever you can! Especially if you live in North Dakota and the riding season is short. Coming along on the first Annual EAG ride were: Roger and Edie Will, Bruce and Sharon Walth, Jim and Peggy Harms, Jon Patch and his daughter Taylor, Forrest Ecklund, Jeff Roper and Rob Keller (me). Now the average age may be in the 50s however, Taylor Patch (an ... read more

Hey travel blog readers... Greetings from Bismarck, ND where we are finally starting to have summer. The motorcycles are out in number. Someone asked me if we are having a rally in the area...I said, "No, it's just summer!" It's been almost one year ago that I left on my Alaskan Adventure and a lot has happened since then. I will try and catch everyone up so that I can get everyone current on my travels and where I am headed this summer. The Alaskan trip was the ride of a "lifetime" however; it opened up new areas of riding style for me. If you recall, I rode the Alaskan Highway on my 2005 Goldwing. It was a great bike but alas, I watched all the enduro bikes passing me and told myself, "I have to ... read more

Hi everyone, Just when you think you have seen all there is to see in scenery and wild motorcycle riding, along comes Glacier National Park! It was not disappointing to say the least. As my title suggests, it was breath-taking, spectacular, inspiring, nerve-wracking, and at times I was questioning my reason for taking the Glacier National Park "Going To The Sun" road. I will get to that in a minute, but first the preliminaries. I spent the night outside of Spokane, Washington and decided to get an early start on the ride to Glacier. First stop was Sandpoint, Idaho. Nestled at the base of the Selkirk Mountains in North Idaho's Panhandle region, Sandpoint can be found 60 miles south of the Canadian border and 75 miles northeast of Spokane. The 6,000 residents enjoy the uncompromising natural ... read more

Hello again everyone, Many thought that I went missing on my sea voyage from Haines, AK to Bellingham, WA. Unfortunately, WiFi was not available on the boats so had to wait until I reached the lower 48. I know some of you have cruised the Inside Passage and enjoyed it...if you have not, I would encourage you to consider taking a cruise or a ferry north to Alaska. On Monday, July 14, we boarded the Marine Vessel (MV Kennicott) at Haines, AK. This was my first experience putting my Gold Wing on the deck of a ship. I had heard many stories from other riders so needless to say, I was nervous. It went great, but you had to be extra careful on the deck as it was steel and with deposits of oil from other ... read more
