April '23. Southern Utah.

Can this be described as a bump in the road?

May '23

Far western Utah. Route 50, also known as The Loneliest Road In America. Forest Gump territory.

Exactly what are they trying to say?

Heading towards the Ruby Mountains on the P.E.T.

May '23 Twin Falls, Idaho.

His jet powered machine didn't manage a measly mile, whereas my beer, wine, coffee, and cake powered bicycle has travelled over 100,000 miles.

May '23

Craters of The Moon, Idaho

A slight exaggeration methinks!

Had a leisurely two days covering 100km between Minidoka and Arco along the eastern boundary of the park. Saw a small flock of sheep, elk footprints, and heard coyotes at night. No cars, no people, no noise 🙂

Came across this forlorn sight just east of the Columbia River, Washington. On the Palouse to Cascades Trail.

My first rest day in ten days is here.

On the Trans America route it's in an old church building and should really be considered an obligatory overnight for all cyclists. (Tiger Town Brewing Co. just down the road is an added bonus 🙂)

On an outside wall is displayed this example of Sears finest:

Not really a folding bicycle, but more of a 2 part BSO. These two 10mm dia bolts are probably reduntant after rust sets in!

August '23 Smith River area, Oregon.

Not my pic unfortunately. The Oregon California border is ablaze. There are dozens of major wildfires necessitating hundreds of firefighters. The air is smoke filled over thousands of acres. Along with many locals who have been forced to evacuate their homes, I'm sheltering at the American Red Cross in Crescent City, CA

Sept. '23. N.E California close to the Nevada border en-route to Burning Man playa. Missed the event itself by a week.

When even a khazi can look sexy 😉

Or is it a well tanned Minion?

Sept. '23 Northwest Nevada.

Hurricane Hilary wreaked havoc over many desert areas in California and Nevada. Today's 80km ride was regularly interrupted by washaways.
