Title: moving day
Post by: KnightofNi on October 09, 2013, 09:37:23 PM
In a few more hours, I will be heading west. Philly to the bay area. Many emotions are involved.
A bottle of lagavulin has helped myself and the woman.

You know you're welcome in Denver.

Give a hug to the girl for me (that is if it's the same one I met. But if not, what the heck, give whichever one this is a hug from me anyway).  

Safe and not overly eventful travels mr knight.

I'd say stop by here... but DC is totally not on the way.

Safe travels - and stay right during the climb to the continental divide if you go the CO way... seen that haul kill a few overlaoded vehicles  ;D

Always welcome in the Des Moines area if you are passing through again since I missed you the last time.
PM me if you are headed this way. Or call if you still have my number.

Drive safe!

Try to detour a little and see Yellowstone if you haven't been there before.  I think it's a cool place.

If you are a person of relaxed mindset, you will enjoy the west coast.

This changed what little travel plans I had.


Outside of Columbus, OH tonight. Tomorrow will probably be another 500miles west. I'm looking into stopping points/destinations now.

Sadly, they wouldn't keep long enough to be good...and they might not survive without being eaten either

Ginger?  Oh hell no!  Turn around immediately!  ;D

It is a shame so much will be shut down on your way out as there are some spectacular places to visit.  You will love Nor-Cal, some great riding in the hills around SF and Santa Cruz.  Year round if you don't mind a chill once in a while.  Have fun and a safe drive safe! [thumbsup]

Bay Area? The Cheesesteak Shop in Berkeley (I think they're all over the bay area though). I was told by a friend from Philly that they were good...too expensive...but good.

If you've not seen the Arch there, take that in.

Take the little tram up to the top and look out the windows.

If you're swinging up through Fort Collins, I'd be happy to show you around (many breweries and a handful of distilleries).

Rocky Mountain National Park is open again, but might be too difficult to get to with the road closures (Highway 34, as well as Trail Ridge road).

Safe travels.

I don't have a real schedule, so I can hang out as long as i have a place to sleep.
Also, the bike is a ktm adventure so bad roads aren't a problem

Day 3. muted audio thanks to a copyright on the music or some BS, i'm not redoing it. Even the part where I talk is muted. It's great....


I messed up turning the camera on after I charged it through the middle of KS so you miss a good sunset and me hamming it up for the camera

From yesterday's drive.

There was a crosswind. I didn't think it affected my lane position as much as it did.
