On the road again soon!

Just finished an amazing breakfast of home-made multi-grain pancakes and sausage! Next I'm grabbing a quick shower and packing my gear on the bike and should be on the road within about an hour.

Here's my planned route for the day via Google Maps (yes I am back tracking slightly). According to the locals we're due for some of the coldest weather ever this time of year, so next couple nights will be in motels rather than tents (I'm not geared for below freezing temps - already done that twice this trip and it was not fun, these upcoming nights will be worse!). Show Low should hit the spot.

Also, apparently it's unlikely to see cell service until Clifton AZ. We'll see how the GPS updates come...

Gear Review: Sea to Summit Big River Dry Sacks

In the past couple months on the road I think I’ve spent more time riding my scooter through rain than I have in the dry – this is clearly reflected in the fact that as time has gone by I’ve invested more and more money in things to keep my stuff dry, since wet gear sucks. One of my favorite purchases for this trip is the pair of Sea to Summit Big River Dry Sacks I picked up just before leaving, in 13L and 20L sizes. They cost me around $20 each and are one of the best pieces of gear I’ve purchased in years – extremely durable, effective, and simple to use.
