Beautiful Sunset With Keeper Of The Plains In Wichita Kansas
Any motorcyclist will tell you to GET OFF the interstates to find the soul of a place and I did that whenever possible.

Caribbean of the Rockies

Stopping in Logan,UT for a bite to eat, my pink bra caught the attention of the manager, who asked about my ride and where I was headed. Turns out I would have missed Bear Lake if she hadn't reached out, and that would have been most unfortunate.

Awesome Idaho

One of the Conga founders, a Canadian named Flo Fuhr, told me something that I took to heart. “Tam, the people who ride with you are doing it because they want to take care of you. Let them do that -- let them take care of you.” And take care of me, they did.
