From December 2009 through the spring of 2010 I'll be traveling by motorcycle from Boulder, Colorado through Mexico, Central America and South America.
The purpose of this trip is simple- to live in the moment, enjoy life, see the world, make some great memories and maybe learn a thing or two along the way.

There are some great places to ride to in Europe and I have been to some of them but this is the ultimate dream. We are riding to the Nordkapp and this blog tells the tale. We are planning and thinking at the moment (done dreaming- it's time to do it) but will be Nordkapp bound in June 2010. I intend to blog each day during the trip itself but for now, its about getting set for the start line.

I travel around the Southwestern United States and Baja Mex whenever I get another paycheck exploring ghost towns, mines, and native American ruins mostly.
Sometimes I take my KTM 450EXC and most of the time I take my Toyota 4runner. It's a low budget everyman's take on "overlanding."
