    That I am . I'd live this way if I could. I love just riding and riding and riding.

    Maybe like Gump...one day, I'll just be done. Not yet though.

    Never!! Don't believe a word of it. Were it not for all your epic adventures AM, we'd all have nothing to read about. LOL

    Great photos and write up. Maybe one day I'll make it there.

    Glad you got to go finally.

    You need firewood.

    $1.99 ............

    Wow, the pics you've posted are just amazing! You should definitely look into a video camera, but GoPro may not be the best option anymore - I posted a lame vid of my trip to the polling station today but alas there were no lines to rev bomb :confusion:

    I wanna go....

    When are we going? I wanna ride the Dempster highway, too, if that's what you were thinking! My latest fad is dual sport riding, extends the season. By going slower, it is not as cold, though we are having a heat wave right now! Been riding my little DT200R. Went and played in a giant sand box today! Hope your ride is going well.

    Great photos, I spend a lot of time in Ft. Smith, AR working on Sisters of Mercy Hospital communications systems, but never got out side the city to see those areas. Lots of beautiful areas in the country, so little time!

    Thinking of video, I got one of these:

    Stuck it on the right side of the helmet, works great.
    GoPro makes great stuff, but more than I wanted to spend for occasional use.

    Gaspé, QC, Canada? Not yet but the area of the world has been on my radar for a trip.

    Didn't stop much for photos but here are some of your requested of the red bike.

    Yes, I needed firewood. Lolzzz
    I was so tired last night that I passed out way to early for the campfire there. The Hub has a huge firepit area with wood to use. And camping for 10 bux! Plus restaurant!

    So relieved to see you enjoyed the trip and that you're safe, happy and at home ... hurry up and post photos, please.

    Wow. That's a HELL of a deal! Was the food decent? Sounded like it was.

    Crap AM! Next time telegraph your intentions of riding the Talimena Parkway and I'll find the time to get up there too! It's a day trip for me.

    I need to get a selfie with you so that everyone will be jealous of me like they are of Jeff!

    That video was still sweet!
    It was fun watching a ride through a FL neighborhood.

    How warm was it there?
    What do you have mounted to your left mirror?

    I can't wait for a camera!

    Thank you, it's all in the scenery. :)
    Someone here mentioned all the roads are really great...and it's so true! Just say no to chit seal though. :/

    This was also on the Talimena Scenic Byway for a bit...
