After 6,000 miles of every kind of scenery imaginable, I'm back safe and sound at home in Encinitas, California.

It was a "mother" of a road trip - with:
- thousands of miles of riding
- visits to family and old friends along the way
- new friends
- deserts, mountains, coastlines, forests, rolling hills, and everything in between

I survived the aliens in Roswell, New Mexico, the cast of Deliverance in Kentucky, and the harsh killer heat of the Arizona desert in July.

I saw gorgeous scenery and some really cool towns along the way.

I found myself tested more than once, and was ready (almost) to call it quits a couple of times.

But at the end of the day, as they say, life's short - so eat desert first and take plenty of road trips!

Get out There!!
