The day is fast approaching. After 19 years in Bend, Oregon I'm gonna miss this place but time for a change. Sold my house last year and have now sold my business along with just about everything else I own except for some moto's, tools and clothing which is in storage. I literally unloaded everything else....furniture, appliances, linens, dishes, friggin everything. What I didn't sell I've given away or donated to the Humane Society. Amazing how much crap you can accumulate. I had planned to do a big trip on the Strom possibly to South America but alas my old buddy Hank is hanging on so had to change plans. Didn't really figure he'd still be around at this point but I can't bear to leave him with someone and ride off. Rather than riding out of here on the Strom I'll be trailering the DR350. Still plan on doing as much riding as possible albeit mostly day rides. I will however be placing Hank in a kennel now and then and doing some overnite stuff. I really don't have anywhere to be starting this Saturday except for about three weeks in July (girlfriend got a smokin deal on a European cruise and I've got to do some painting for her) and attending Overland Expo next month. Planning on heading north over the border in August/Sept/Oct after the girlfriend commitment. Yea I know, it's going to be a rough summer/fall. I may be broke come winter but damn the funds....full speed ahead. In short, I'm homeless and not sure exactly where I'm headed or for how long. At a minimum I'll be on the road for the summer and possibly through the winter. Any suggestions on great campsites, hikes, must sees, ghost towns, rides, etc. would be appreciated. I'll be posting as internet service is available but plan to be off the grid doing as much stealth camping as I can find. Hopefully, a few on here will follow along and offer some suggestions.
