That’s their time. It’s there time up there. Right now it’s our time…it’s our time down here. That pretty much sums up how I felt about a work-related stuff back home and my tour. It’s my time down here. I … Continue reading Day 4: Goonies R Good Enough
Goonies never say die. After two long days on the road I was surprisingly up and alert when my alarm went off at 7am. I’m getting pretty good at the early morning starts. I was able to pack Midnight, suit … Continue reading Day 3: Don’t Stop Me Now
I can’t believe I waited ten years to stay in Radium. I loved the overnight stay there and the morning was even better. I enjoyed a coffee on my balcony and breathed in the fresh mountain air before getting ready … Continue reading Day 2: Lord Don’t Slow Me Down
Radium’s location between my home and the Kootenays always made it an ideal crossroads for getting to or from my destination. I never considered it a destination of its own because it was just a *little* too far from home … Continue reading Day 1: Woke Up This Morning

Tuesday, July 5, 2011 I gotta say- I sure did luck out on the weather. Yesterday as I traveled from Nelson to Oliver the weather was in the 30s and sunny all day. Today would be the same with a … Continue reading Day 4: Hot Fun in the Summertime
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
Sunday, July 16th, 2007 Last night’s fellowship went pretty late and forced a late morning wakeup. We checked out of the La Mission Motel at 11:00 and, after I packed my gear on Silver, we headed straight for the Summerhill … Continue reading Day 16: Gimme Shelter
