Well, I'm on my way, kinda bummed out that Donna's not on this trip, as it was originally her idea to make this journey. I got off work this morning at 07:30, went home and got about 4 hours sleep. I then finished packing and loaded up the trailer. I made a couple of quick stops in town before hitting the highway, but by 5:30, I was on my way. First leg of the trip got me to Kamloops BC. I wasn't tired yet, but being dark and having already put in a whole days work, I thought it would be wise to get a good nights sleep. I'm in no big hurry right now so it will make for a couple of short days and then I'll be in Edmonton...
So Far...

I was wondering if you'd got underway. Sounds like a mellow first day. Keep us posted!

Looks like a good start.......but looking at that picture I would say you are leaking antifreeze.

So today was a long day. Not because I had far to go, but I didn't sleep well and I had onehell of a tough time riding in my tired state. I finally
"woke" up and made good time in the afternoon. Jasper was one busy town, no vacancies anywhere so I headed out of town and hit Hinton. Got a room and went for dinner and a drink (or two...)Here's the route for today. Tomorrow will be Edmonton for a couple of days...

Okay, this is the short journey I have in store for me today.
Somewhere along that line I'm supposed to meet a couple of TMW members...
Just where, I don't yet know...

When are you going to be in Calgary, or are you taking the yellowhead highway east?

Well, if you are referring to us Edmonton ones.... it'd help if you stopped drinking that "pitcher of Caesar with 2 straws" and called...
(Don't worry blues, I found him)

Well, I was found by KarateChick just outside Edmonton in a little town called Stoney Plain. I was sitting in a Timmy Ho's and was met with a big hug and a ton of smiles.
Had a great visit with sev while he replaced my brake pads, (Thanx sev.)
Went for a ride to get a helmet then had dinner and another ride with a brand new rider on the back... I was delighted to have such a good pillion as well as honoured to be trusted with someone else's small package.
Soon to be time for bed....
