November 12 – November 22, 2011 It was difficult leaving Mexico City because the traffic was terrible, I doubt it is possible for anyone to ever get a speeding ticket there. We decided to grab a bite to eat as we drove through, and of all places to stop, Rocky chose Subway. I'm not sure how he...

November 4 - November 11, 2011 We were back on the road and on our way though the state of San Luis Potosi. The weather was what I would consider perfect and the scenery was beautiful. We stopped for breakfast at the side of the road where a small food cart run by a woman and her daughter was...

Re: Northern Mexico (October 26 – November 3, 2011) Thanks! I had to get Paula to translate that.

Northern Mexico (October 26 – November 3, 2011) As we traveled through Canada and the USA we remained in our comfort zone but now that we were about to enter Mexico I was feeling a little bit anxious. Mexico had been having a lot of bad publicity and it wasn’t the safest time to be traveling...

It was a good day to get back on the road. The weather was beautiful, we had reorganized our belongings, gathered our thoughts and our riding gear was feeling fresh. It was a relaxed ride through Arizona, the sun was warm as the earth became flat and the sound inside my helmet was pure bliss...

I use the a handheld Garmin GPSMAP 62s and a RAM mount. Best GPS I have ever owned (at the expense of a smaller screen). It's got a barometer, altimeter, track-log, and lots of other features standard GSP units lack.

The sun had retreated for the night leaving none of its warmth behind. When we arrived at Rob and Christina’s doorstep, we were immediately welcomed to sit by the fireplace to thaw our bodies from the chill we had just endured during our ride there. Brrr. I was frozen cold and extremely happy...

Paula and I were involved in an accident last January (wow, almost a year ago!) in El Salvador. We were both uninjured, but the bike was badly damaged. We decided to fly home and have the bike shipped back to Canada to rebuild it. We were told by the shipping agents in San Salvador that the...

Re: Colorado (October 3 - October 5, 2011) We pulled off to the side of the road where we seemed to be in the middle of nowhere yet in the center of it all and decided it was the perfect place to stay for the night. The scenery was incredibly wondrous and definitely the most memorable place I...

Colorado (October 3 - October 5, 2011) The weather was warm when we had left Moab, Utah, but it got much cooler as we entered into Colorado. It was a drastic change leaving the dry, sandy bedrock for dense fields and valleys that looked painted with autumn colors. The mountains were gorgeous...

Thanks. I should mention that this was back in the beginning of October. We're currently in northern Guatemala. We're trying to get caught up on blogging, but we keep getting further and further behind.

We pulled into Salt Lake City just as the sun was setting behind the mountains. The sky was glowing pink, peach, orange and yellow, creating one of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen. After grabbing a snack to eat, we rode around the city searching for a place to camp. Salt Lake has...

Kent and Paula in Boise, Idaho One of my most beautiful victims. This one stayed on for almost 1,500km. Heading into Stanley, Idaho Somewhere in Montana A heard of buffalo lounging in a field in Yellowstone A field of grazing buffalo in Yellowstone National Park...

Update: We are currently in San Cristobal de las Casas, Mexico, waiting for parts to arrive. We couldn't think of a better place to be stuck. :D On September 21, we rode into Boise Idaho to stay with a man named Kent that we had contacted on couchsurfing.org. He owned a granite shop located...

The clouds were full, threatening rain but we stayed dry while visiting Mount St Helen, in Washington state. It is an active volcano, located in the Cascade Range. It had erupted in 1980, removing most of its northern face and creating a huge crater. It was the deadliest and most economically...

We rode to the U.S. border and with it being the day before 09/11, crossing into the states went easier than expected. Although, we did get lectured by the customs officer about having a helmet camera. Our first stop in the USA, was Lake Stevens. My friend, Joey, had just moved there with his...
