As I sit here replying to messages and preparing my list of activities (chores) for the day, I came across this video I’d sent to a friend in October. It struck a chord with me then, and even more now as I look over a grove of trees through which the sun is shining and [...]

A special passenger..

Jordan — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 15:41:05 +0000

A friend of mine posted on her facebook page yesterday:
“Voted, Taxes in, Mom picked up at airport … I play ‘Adult’ well.”

Upon reading that, my first thought was.. “Oh, crap! I’ve been gallivanting long enough that I didn’t vote in the election, the accountant had to remind me that my taxes were [...]

Day… I’ve lost track — Lexington KY.

Jordan — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 15:42:55 +0000

So somewhere in the middle of my last post, I actually manged to sneak a trip in to see my buddy Abi in Lexington KY which, as it turns out is only about three hours away from Knoxville.. I hopped on to ThirstyGirl and headed across the state line to catch Abi for supper.. As [...]

Day 10, et al — Nashville to Knoxville area..

Jordan — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 02:02:47 +0000

Last night in Nashville was a bit of a bust, and frankly kind of a downer.. I made the decision to splurge a bit and stay downtown, but by the time I got showered and a load of laundry finished, pretty much everything was shut down, and there was very little to do but drink. [...]

Day 9 — High Knob Campground to Nashville TN

Jordan — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 03:30:20 +0000

So, a little re-cap-over-lap: Upon Smoky Joe’s recommendation, I’d traveled down in to the Shawnee National Forest to head up to High Knob to watch the sunset. As I cruised through the winding forest road, I was struck by the sheer beauty of the tree lined tarmac. After having traveled through thousands of Kilometers of [...]

Day 8 — Wentzville to High Knob in Shawnee National Forest

Jordan — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 06:35:50 +0000

After a few great days with John and Kate, I hopped back on the bike to get moving south again.. The weather has been incredibly warm, and this afternoon when I left was no exception. I did bundle up in my riding jacket but jeans would have to suffice.. By afternoon, I was down to [...]

Day 7 — Wentzville

Jordan — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 18:52:13 +0000

So, nothing much to report for today. John and I made a trip to Rural King for supplies and made a discovery.. It used to be that you couldn’t buy Robertson screws here in the States. [...]

Day 6 — St. Louis

Jordan — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 03:49:39 +0000

If you’ve already read yesterday’s post, you may want to go back and read it again, I’ve added a few photos from the ride down.

Today I spent the day in St. Louis with John and Kate to go take a ride up inside the arch.…

You read that right: INSIDE!!! [...]

Day 5 — Omaha to Wentzville

Jordan — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 03:49:02 +0000

Hey all,
I’ve only got Internet on my phone tonight so this is just a quick update to let you know I’ve arrived at my destination in Missouri and will be sticking around here for a few days. Will do some updating and the rest of my emailing when I get the Internet sorted [...]

Day 4 — Aberdeen to Omaha

Jordan — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 08:32:49 +0000

Today,
Another late start.. Could. Not. Wake. UP! Dunno why, but I had a heck of a time getting out of bed despite a really reasonable sleep. I think the wind just beat me that badly the day before..

Not much in the way of news to report, more cool weather today [...]
