Our new MO, stay at each place at each camp at least 5 days and explore by motorcycle. Kootenay Lake provided a great place to do just that. First off it is a hop skip and jump from my favorite place to soak my weary bones, Ainsworth Hot Springs. This one is unique as the […]

Another Trawlerfest in the books, time to head north. The plan is to take the motorhome to our old favorites, Harrison Hot Springs, set up in the RV park and wait for the long anticipated arrival of my family. I pulled into the Springs RV Park, to discover it is not quite what the website

Furthur all tucked away, rainy season coming, time to ride! After 3 years of great motorcycle adventures, we decided on two things: we like it and we don’t want to sleep in a tent any more. The commitment to this lifestyle took us to buying a motorhome. As I have discovered, buying things from afar

After bidding our old friends and new at Busuanga Bay adios, we weaved through the hundreds of “pearl farms” and made our way to another Filipino hot spot, El Nido.  We did the 2 day jaunt in near perfect weather, rounded the tip of Palawan Island and anchored at the back side of the peninsula

Foiled by rain and cold, we abandon the idea of going north to Jasper, a real disappointment. So, we start working south, towards the warm weather. First stop is the small town of Quisnel, and home of a great annual rodeo. Showing Priam a rodeo was tops on my must do list. He enjoyed it

After a few nice soaks at Ainsworth, the sun beckoned us to ride on. A scenic jot down the lake and a quaint open ferry ride sends us southeast to a new destination, Riders Ranch Motorcycle camping.  This brings us to our first “team effort” setting up the new larger tent and test the camping

My sole riding comes to an ending today! Donna and Priam arrive at Vancouver Airport. I have missed them so much, longest we have been apart. A quick check in and taxi back to the BnB, they see the new bike for the first time. We take a ride around the neighborhood to let Donna
