How to Survive the Dalton Highway (Haul Road) by Motorcycle

By Brandon Edward

Motorcycle to the Arctic Circle – The Alaska Highway (ALCAN)

By Brandon Edward

My relationship with the Alaska Highway is a bit of a love hate affair.  I’ve had some damn miserable times on this road.  This blog got started shortly after my first go of the ALCAN 8 years ago in my 1971 Volkswagen Bus.  It was quite a bit more eventful from snow storms, multiple break […]

Motorcycle to the Arctic Circle – The Icefields Parkway – Banff to Jasper

By Brandon Edward

Motorcycle to the Arctic Circle – Cleveland to Calgary

By Brandon Edward

It’s been a week on the road and we’ve covered ~ 2,400 miles from Cleveland to Calgary, Alberta, Canada.  There have been no mishaps to report less Steve narrowly avoiding a high speed encounter with an antelope just outside of Calgary.  Both of our hearts have been successfully transplanted from our stomachs back to our […]

Converting WordPress to HTTPS (SSL) – AND – Preserving Social Share Button Counts

By Brandon Edward

I’ve been thinking for some time about converting freewheelings to https using an SSL certificate.  However, the major problem that has kept me from doing it (until now) is that all of your share counts will be reset.  There is something to be said for social proof.  You see, in the eyes Google Plus, Twitter, […]
