Welcome to my Blog!

This blog is my way of recording events in my life for my own amusement & as a journal of sorts. I really don't expect anyone else to follow this. I am all for DOING, not watching or reading about adventures! However if anything I have done or am talking about doing on here inspires you to "GO FOR IT", then I've done my good deed of the day.


Beginning a new chapter of my life, flying solo after many years of married life, in a new area of my native state, Missouri (MO) & reestablishing a very simple, basic lifestyle on a spot of raw land.


If you've made it this far.....thanks for being interested in what I'm doing & coming along for the ride. I hope you enjoy my stories about my whaz going on in my life. Let our journey begin! Shift colors.

MO via KS/NE/WY/UT/NV/CA/OR/ID/WY/CO/KS to MO Road Trip-2 weeks out

Two weeks from today, I'm supposed begin an adventure thru 10 states & over 5K miles on my motorcycle.

Have I even thought about packing. No.

Do I have clothes laid out? No.

I have ordered a couple maps of two states we're driving thru that I didn't have. And I did order a 2.5 gal gas tank that my travelling companion suggested I get. Apparently there ARE still places in this world where you can't get petro every other block or within 200 miles, whichever comes first. So my friend, who has personally experienced this in NV, suggested I consider packing some extra gas.

My personal preference is to drive no more than 120 miles on my 3.7 gal tank. My travelling companion has a larger capacity tank on his bike so can go further than I. So what better solution than to get an auxiliary tank?

Now, all I hafta do is start packing.......
