But may I suggest that keeping your morale up is VERY important. The bodys healing will follow. People are good..they will help you to lay up for a while.

Do keep in touch... take a rest...
My trip has only minor problems... the usual..

You're right about the impossible cost of hotels etc; I hoped the Canadian community might be able to help out with a hut or cabin or something to help with costs while you strengthen up. Contact them, you never know.

Good man
Keep your spirits up
This difficult part WILL pass...

New to Horizons Unlimited?

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
