WELL, IT’S THAT TIME OF YEAR
Every year since I got the motorcycle I have taken a long(ish) trip through the mountains and deserts of the west. I plan on doing that again. And I hope for a long couple of years hence.
This year I plan on making my way back to Beartooth, but also riding the road from westfrom Grangeville into Lolo, Montana. Then I will take 93 south to Salmon, Idaho and across the valley to the west entrance of Yellowstone. I figure the heat around Idaho Falls will be something I am used to being from Phoenix.
Somewhere along there I will spend some time in Cody, Wyoming and Red Lodge Montana… and that should get me to my birthday on top of Beartooth Pass – again – since I may never know when I can get there again. It is far too stunning for an only once in a lifetime.
As I did last year, I am letting you know that you may buy me a tank of gas or lunch if you wish. In return, I will send you a limited edition set of 5 postcards that will be for those of you who contribute only. If 15 people contribute, I will print the images at a run of 16 (one set for the artist) and number them according to the number of participants.
All of the images will be shot specifically for this gift, and will be shot on this motorcycle adventure.
You will have a limited edition image with a very small number of people having a similar image.
The images will be printed by me on Red River 5×7 matte paper for a luxurious feel.
You get: 5 – 5×7 images in a protective, sealed envelope.
A notecard of authenticity with the place, date, and time the image was made.
All images are signed and numbered on the back for authenticity.
THE 5X7 PACKAGE IS $35.00
Lunch or Gas…
NAVIGATION FOR THE 2021 MOTORCYCLE TRIP IN THE WEST
I will be keeping you posted on where and what I am up to on this year’s ride right here. I hope to post once per day and have it be a round up of the day’s ride.
I have made some changes this year and will be explaining how I prepared, how I packed, and how I negotiate the wild, wild areas of the western US.
If you would like to buy me a lunch or a tank of gas (gas is so expensive for this beast) you can go here. I have a special gift for all who contribute.
Tacos or Gas…DIY vs Web Professional
Thinking you can go it alone out there in the wide wide web? Perhaps you can, but this infographic may shed some light on why you should tread lightly when doing it all yourself. "A new generation of website builders has arrived to help people not only stint on coding...
Shake It Up… By Being Authentic
I have been listening to music since I was very short... very short indeed. I was in a ton of garage bands and we played all the awesome hits of the day. Two guitars, bass and drums. And today, guitar bands still dominate pop rock music. Why guitars? Because guitars...
Facebook Fatigue?
From a very interesting take on how Facebook creates multi-faceted personna's. "A friend’s like on an anti-gay-rights page. A comment making fun of your musical tastes. A vegetarian friend linking to an article about the evils of eating meat. A complaint about how...
Apple Looks Back to See Ahead…
Apple has returned to its roots with the new ad campaign for the iPad. "What will your verse be?" A reflection of their earlier marketing approaches when it was geared toward the creative professional, this ad takes the view that we are all creative now. And their...
Three Words… for Now.
Chris Brogan talks about choosing his three words for the year. I don't usually do formal things like that, as the formality of them seems almost stilted and far too much like limitations than opportunities. However, I do get the idea... and while I may have more than...
ADVENTURE VS HANDWRINGING
In years passed, adventure was something we reveled in, we aspired to, we recognized as important. Now days, those who do something adventurous are scolded when something goes astray. (Things mustn't go astray. Ever. Especially for this NYT writer.) Things ALWAYS go...
