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

By Brandon Edward

I’m fresh off the Dalton Highway (haul road) taking a day of rest in Fairbanks, Alaska to recover and reflect on the experience.  I’ve had the chance to see riders successfully navigate the Dalton as well as those that were not so fortunate.  My intent is to put together a post that includes helpful advice […]

Private Pilot Caribbean Adventure – Live Tracking

By Brandon Edward

It’s happening!  In just two short weeks four adventurers leave from Cleveland to fly a single-engine airplane down the length of the Caribbean island chain.  You can use this live tracker to follow our ~5,000-mile adventure as we seek out isolated beaches, off the beaten track hangout spots, and the finest rum the world has […]

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

Some things in life just shouldn’t be missed.  The exit for 93 North off of the Trans-Canada Highway is one of those things.  Also known as the Icefields Parkway, this fantastic road winds almost 150 miles along the Continental Divide through the Northern Rockies from Lake Louise to Jasper.  She climbs mountains, meanders through vast […]

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 […]

Tipping in Mexico and Central America

By Brandon Edward

First, if you’re coming down from the states you are just going to have to check all of your expectations of service at the border.  Things work differently down here.  At home, we’ll tip in excess of 20 or 25% for good or great service.  Servers know this and cater to our needs accordingly.  In […]

Whitewater Rafting the Grand Canyon – Master Packing List

By Brandon Edward

Here’s the irony.  A year ago this very week we were packing up the motorcycle for a five month trip across nine countries.  To the left you’ll find a photo of the total of our gear.  Yesterday we packed up the Honda Civic for the first leg of our trip to Arizona.  We easily have […]

Attention Central America – How Not to Screw Up a Martini

By Brandon Edward

After five months of traveling through Mexico and Central America my favorite cocktail has become scarce.  That’s not to say it’s not on the menu in just about every tourist zone we’ve encountered, but the martini abominations have ranged from confusing to simply undrinkable. I’ve even had waiters argue with me when I tell them […]

I’m Afraid it’s Time For Us to Part Ways

By Brandon Edward

It’s not you.  It’s me.  We had a good run.  It’s been fun, but it is time for me to move on.  I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the times we’ve spent together.  We adventured far and wide.  We have overcome things together that, to be honest, I thought might not have been possible.  You’ve been a real […]
