Awesome pictures and story!!!!

Makes me wanna get on my bike now and go!!! And screw the world!!!

I just bought panniers and other stuff for my bike. I got a year to go until my lease is up, quitting my job and taking off, I had it! Maybe even break my lease and leave my job this coming summer? Debating on that one.

Anyway, thank you for posting!

My bike is stashed in Arcata Ca and I'm just waiting to finish touring after winter travels . Thanks for posting.
I agree that people look at you differently with bike vs back pack.
Before if I was camping illegally outta backpack i,may have to hitch away after being told I'm trespassing but with bike in hand I roll on . I've even been told my spot is trespassing and that the homeowner would have camped there to for the sunset.

Ride on ride on. Stay steady pace yourself and have fun .

Beat the winter into the desert. Think I've gone something like 700-800 miles now. Resting at a trail angel place I stayed along the PCT earlier this year before cutting over to Arizona again. Might have access to a computer soon, so I'll dump nicer photos from my HD camera.
Gosh, I wish I was traveling with you! I look forward to seeing more photos from you! BTW: on the front of your bicycle, is that solar panels? Just curious! Thanks!
 
I ended up around a computer for a bit and got some other pictures online.

Believe this is a tree carved bench somewhere along the Monterrey Coastal Trail.

Free camping score in Big Sur, but surrounded by redwoods didn't do solar power any favors.

I wish the camping rules weren't as strict though.

“Give the man the finger and nothing else”. I heart this so much!
 
Sweet.
Dang. I spent 200$ on my damn panniers.
Keep rocking!

Thanks for sharing your travels. Just did a 1,000 trip around NY this summer. I'm 65 and it felt so healthy to be outdoors and sleeping free under the trees. You are right about pictures. I have many but wish I took many more. Every one brings back that moment. Here is one moment. When I got to the Adirondacks route 3 was freshly pave and so smooth, I thought I died and went to Bikers paradise. Feast your eyes on this View attachment 54096fresh asphalt and wide shoulders with only a herd of cars ever so often. The east has so many roads you can always find a quiet one. safe travels!
