Day 2: Something to Talk About

Day 1: Rocky Mountain High
Thursday, Aug 2- Friday, Aug 3, 2012 I cheated. The objective with Day 1 was to get to Canmore from North Battleford to stay my friends Laura and Matt there. However, I wanted to get a little creative and take … Continue reading Day 1: Rocky Mountain High
Road Warrior Tour 2012: Prologue
“It’s been a rough year.” I said that to a friend when we were talking about this year’s tour and he pointed out that I say that every year. “Not every year,” I told him, “only the last three.” He … Continue reading Road Warrior Tour 2012: Prologue

Day 2: Holiday Road
