Wednesday, July 6, 2011 Today I finally just realized that the tour I wait all year for was finally here. The first few days until a break are always a blur, and one single day feels like several because of … Continue reading Day 5: Alive
Monday, July 4, 2011 Today I kissed the sky at the Kootenay Pass, the second highest highway in Canada, and like Helios riding his Chariot of Fire down from the heavens, Silver and I descended from these heights into the … Continue reading Day 3: Higher Ground
Sunday, July 18th, 2010 Silver roared out of the Coast Mountains into the Fraser Valley like a wild stallion that had been caged too long. The open skies and wide valley simply encouraged him to take wing with an unbridled … Continue reading Day 8: Live Forever
