Chasing Shadows

Departing from the city of angels was when I felt as if we were heading home. The Grand Canyon wasn’t far and we were definitely looking forward to it yet I couldn’t help but feel as though we were traveling towards the end of our journey. The later halves of our days would now consist of the long and losing…

Day 23 – Let’s Get To Texas

We left Gallop and headed for Albuquerque. There, Gomes wanted to check out the house from Breaking Bad. I had also asked Marco the night before to reach out on the forums again to see if anyone in New Mexico or East Texas could help solve his rear tire problem.    As we rolled into Albuquerque to stop for gas…

Bear With Me

It’s Saturday evening, being that motorcycle shops are closed tomorrow, and Monday as well, it’s just about that time for us to face a new problem. A new squeak has made itself known coming from my rear wheel. Being that the bearings on the rear have to be just as old as the ones that blew on the front wheel…

Day 22 – Rain On The Way Into New Mexico

It was a late start for us as we were tired from the night before. We set out on our bikes towards Desert View which is still in the Grand Canyon National Park. We stop along the way to get some more pictures. When we get to Desert View we go for another round of photos and climb the watch…

Off the Deep End

As I stood over darkness, I lifted my gaze up into the stars and saw more than I could’ve ever imagined. What started with trembling then became confident, broad breaths taken in with the Canyon air. As my eyes exposed themselves to what I was actually seeing, a creeping fear lingered, reminding me that below the ledge that I was…

Canyoning

Following in the usual, yet some how unpredictable, pattern of emotional downs we arrive at the Grand Canyon to discover that every campground is fully booked. If there was one place we were looking forward to pitching a tent at the most, it was here but Labor Day weekend and our inability to predict break downs to properly book dates…

Day 21 – Star Gazing At The Grand Canyon

We head out early morning before we catch major heat and we set out for Grand Canyon National Park. Our first stop today was at Calico’s in Kingman, Arizona, for some food. It’s late in the morning so it’s more like brunch at this point. We eat and head out.    We make it to 64, which is right off…

Day 20 – The Desert Begins

This morning Gomes had to run somewhere in LA to drop off a Go Pro. We woke up a little later than usual so while Gomes went to drop off the Go Pro, Marco and I put together some content and caught up on some work. It was around noon when we finally left LA. Took us some time to…

Day 19 – We Came, We Saw, We Conquered

It was an early start today. The plan was to get to LA as early as possible so we could still roam around. We get on 101 south for a few miles until we get to Los Olivos and then take a shortcut through 154 which will take us past Lake Cachuma. We pull into a little park next to…

Portugal

Cool salty breezes, waves crashing against the sand found at the bottom of an unsaturated yellow cliff, all while tracing this prefectly imperfect shoreline. This western most country in the European Union is quiet enough to not suffer from an influx of tourism allowing the locals to bask in the glory that is this nation’s secrets. Infinite beaches, uneven terrains…
