POST #1 -- Welcome



This BLOG chronicles my months-long solo journey through 5 western states and 1 Canadian province. The journey starts with the Southern California desert landscape -- that's me on the trail, far left in the photo above -- and it then quickly leaps 1,200 miles to the North...


• MOUNTAINS, deserts, islands... and insights.

• HIGHWAYS, bi-ways, bikeways... and honest encounters with strangers and with myself.

• CULTURE & coursework... theater, opera and summer study at Utah State University.

• ME-ANDERINGS 2012 is the edgy summer antidote to the docile domesticity of my winter life in the retirement haven of Palm Desert, California.

• EDGY...? Solo travel to remote and unknown places is always edgy...

• ...and it gets even EDGIER when my 40-year old BMW is the primary mode of transportation...

• ...and the BACK-UP mode is my funky clown-bike that folds-up into the glove box (well, almost.)

• COOL.

• CRAZY.

• Keroac-CATHARTIC... I'm on the road.

• I'm writing this BLOG for ME and for YOU.

• You're most welcome to follow along. And post COMMENTS in the field provided at the bottom of each page-posting if you wish. (click on the COMMENTS link to open the field)
