Finz Finds Rides: North East Lighthouse Ride

Florida has many lighthouses spread across the state, so I thought it would be great to have nice back road rides incorporating these interesting destinations.

The Chief Making The Best One Better

Snowbound At The Stowasis

The thought of halting our big trip in Alberta, Canada, or anywhere in fact, was utterly untenable. Approaching three years of maintaining a steady momentum on the road, why would we stop now? Yet staying a few nights over late summer at a friend’s place, affectionately dubbed “Stowasis,” (coined from our host’s surname, Nevil Stow, a renown RTWer whose home in Canmore, Alberta is a legendary stopover for travelers) merged rapidly into a fortnight, which fused at equal speed into the fall. The birds were busy in the trees, and the air still gave promise of warm if not mild days to come. Five months later and through the inexhaustible dictates of the warmest hospitality—not withstanding the coldest winter we’ve experienced to date—we stalled the motorcycling.

The Bikini Adventures

After listening to the eight-foot-tall scrub brush paint pinstripes down our body panels for two hours, we were convinced we were headed in the wrong direction and decided to turn around. Miles later, as dusk approached, the clouds closed in and the rains began, just as we reached the drop into Hell Canyon. As night fell, and the rains continued, we came across an abandoned cabin. We discussed camping for the night there, or maybe just to push on; but after looking at the cabin and the creepy vibes emanating, it was an easy choice to keep going.
