This took longer than I originally anticipated, but since we are deep into winter's grip here in Colorado I took some time to finish "Part-1" I'll explain ahead of time about Mickey-Mouse, and the Dinosaur...................They were gifts from my two boys to carry as mementos on this trip. They went everywhere I went, and reminded me that I carry my family and friends in my heart wherever I go. My boys loved seeing the pictures of all the places they'd been. It was awesome revisiting all the pictures and memories to make this video. Hope you all enjoy!  https://youtu.be/mAbLZE7V_N4 |

Wow Alan, that is just fantastic. I was transported while watching it and for 15 mins forgot I was sitting at home. You certainly have beautiful country to ride. I was unaware of the Capn's encounter with the deer but glad to see him re appear at the end.
Excellent indeed!

Please get your pneumonia vaccination. Do it now.
There is no need for your body to battle the pneumococcal bacteria, when there will be other battles to fight.
What many of us are realizing in this pandemic, is that we need much less than we thought we wanted only a few months ago..

Excellent collection of memories. Pretty country isn’t it? I recognize many of your destinations.
Doubtless it will inspire Fjers to get their wheels spinning.
Additionally I understand how long it takes to get the footage together.
We eagerly await part two.
Maybe by then i’ll have some TT stuff to share.

Awesome pics/vids. I'll have to strike "In a Big country" off my soundtrack now. You beat me to it. I was going to use it for my upcoming vid through Utah.
How did you pick the roads you were on? Were you already familiar with them? I usually try to find the squiggliest ones on Google and hope for the best, or check out some of the online touring sites, and try to incorporte them if they are in my general direction.
Is there a part 3 coming?

For the route planning on this trip, I tried my best to: A) - Stay off of Interstate Highways as much as we could. B) - Incorporate as many twisty, or interesting-looking roads as I could find. C) - Try to choose roads that I have never been on. Of the whole 6100-mile trip, only 305-miles of it was Interstate. Lots of twisty routes, and I've never toured the Northwest before so most of the route was new to me.  Yes, "Part-3" will be posted up very soon. |
