Cliff Palace at Mesa Verde National Park

Bought a new awesome camp chair at REI. So desperately needed after sitting on the ground getting my butt wet. Pics to come

What perfect weather we are having in Denver...I love it especially after riding through the cold rain all day yesterday.

Woke up to my niece at 6am already dressed and ready for school...but school didnt start til 12pm ;) So cute though

Made it to Denver at 9PM last night. Felt great to get off that bike.

Neither hot nor cold nor rain nor hail kept me from my 5000 mile mark

Getting pounded with rain coming through the Rocky Mountains heading to Denver.

Lost my images of Mesa Verde...will post them later

Mesa Verde NP was amazing. Now riding back to Denver.

Time to get back on the bike and head down to Cortez, CO to visit Mesa Verde National Park

Double Arch...best one inside the park and highly underrated.

Landscape Arch inside Arches NP

Arches National Park in Utah was amazing. Definitely worth the trip down.

This dry heat turns your nose into a booger factory hahaha :)

Canyonlands National Park

Breakfast of champions

Most under appreciated job..truck driver. The amount of trucks I see on the road moving goods is staggering.

Mid-day naps are now becoming a regular thing...I'm going to miss them when this is finished

On the way to Salt Lake City, UT. Cant wait to meet up with my friend Cole tonight.

Shoshone Falls outside Twin Falls,ID

Twin Falls, ID canyon outside of town

Pimpin aint easy when your at a Motel 6...but it saved $20 ;)

Lava flow fields in Idaho? Weird but pretty cool.

I just want to thank BMW for making heated handgrips, otherwise I wouldnt be able to feel the palms of my hands

That was the coldest night I have ever spent. Its bad when you resort to snuggling with a towel

My tent is about to cave in from the wind and rain.

Send a prayer in for me. The weather has turned. Its dropped about 20degrees and hasnt stopped raining. Please warm up!

Stanley Lake at the foot of Sawtooth...view from the campsite

Sawtooth Mountain Range in Idaho.

Heading to the Sawtooth Mountains..and then camping at Stanley Lake

I continue to be amazed. This lady approached me and gave me a hug and $20 to go get a steak dinner.

I experienced the biggest T-storm ever in a tent last night. It was a little scary at times with lightning crashing beside me

Headed to Lowman, ID. This is my campsite right on the river in Mountain View campground.

Elk City general store that served me the best double cheese burger EVER

Welcome to Elk City, ID...absolutely nothing here but a cafe and the road ends

Met the coolest group of guys in Elk City. They have ridden all over the world. We talked all night exchanging stories

Sorry I have been out of touch. I have been in the canyons and rivers of Idaho. From Elk City to Stanley, ID.

Idaho is more than potatoes. On the road to Elk City.

Check out this thing. Lewiston small dog. Like a big pigs in a blanket.

Just passed a road that needs to be on the next "Top Gear" show for best roads to drive on. Located in Lewiston, ID

Just left Spokane heading to Mount Idaho. Beautiful weather for a ride. Makes you happy to be on the road

All pretty and ready for a hot date ;)

Just gave my baby her first bath since the trip started :)

Made it to Spokane, WA...now what?

I'm going to move to Paradise, MT on the border of the Lolo National Forest. Its perfect!

Hot Springs, MT. Nothing here but warm water and hicks.

On the road to Spokane, WA. Just stopped in Kellog Idaho.

View from my new campsite at Fish Creek in Glacier NP.

Wrecked my bike and broke the left side case. Im ok but now it wont retract because the bracket is bent inside.

Eating huckleberries freshly picked right here in Glacier NP. They taste like really tart blueberries

Why didnt I bring my fly rod?! It's free fishing in Glacier NP

I about didnt make it last night I was so cold. One more night here and hopefully it wont dip that low again.

I cant say this enough. People are good. I was just given a bundle of wood cause my fire was going out on this cold night.

Thought I lost this photo. Me standing in Wind River Canyon, WY. Amazing ride.

Another feast for dinner. A cliff bar and a watermelon sucker. Oh I live too lavish sometimes.

Aaahhh there's nothing like a sink shower to refresh yourself haha

It's funny how modern man hunts. My prey of choice is power outlets to feed my hungry gadgets.

More mountain goats on the trail. This was one has a baby trailing behind it.

Had a crazy thunderstorm last night. And now we are getting another one. But its so peaceful echoing through the mountains

Hiking was unbelievable today. Rained mid morning but pushed on through to some amazing views. Saw plenty of wildlife as well

Mountain Goat on my hiking trail today. Absolutely amazing.

How awesome is this to wake up and see? :)

St Mary Lake

I have made it to Glacier National Park

This is Biscuit and Gravy. The owners dogs. They are English Labs

How cool is this B&B in Valier, MT called The Stone School Inn. I am staying on the second floor in the Pheasant Room. More pics to come

Montana is quite chilly! Had to double layer. Its beautiful here. Seems like the Marlboro man would live here haha

Aahhh the beginning of a new day :) Heading to Valier, MT 40 miles from Glacier NP

Livingston, MT is a hidden gem

Mermaid Red Ale and Thai Buffalo Burger...I'm almost back to normal :)

This might be a good start to recovery ;)

I need a rebound strategy. Text or email me your suggestions of what to do now?

I think this sums up the day. Busted headlight, rain, hail, 400miles, and park congestion.

And it gets worse...HAIL

This day is a total wash. Got to be the most disappointed I have ever felt. Also its been pouring rain for the last 40 miles.

Come to Yellowstone and see all the beautiful people...I am out of here. Heading north.

So frustrated! Yellowstone is a madhouse. Frankly I do not recommend this park to anyone. Its the Walmart of parks.

Once again the generosity from people comes through. Met JC at my campsite and he invited me over for beer and bbq. Awesome

Riding through my first lightning storm just outside Thermopolis, WY

In Cody, WY...10 miles from Yellowstone NP

Sunset at Boysen State Park, WY

There's nothing like looking up and seeing nothing but 1 billion stars and no sound but crickets and waves crashing

A care package from Kelly the Park Ranger.

I just mentioned people's good nature and i come back to my campsite and a care package was left by a park ranger :)
