In transit to Joshua Tree NP, CA.
 It seems always to be a long day with the early sunsets, specially when we are trying to get to a destination to set up for a few days. It did not happen today... lunch with a friend that drove all the way from Phoenix... meeting a French couple that wants a sidecar... and what are the chances for both low beams to go out at the same time?... I’ll take it!!! We are setting camp tomorrow near by Joshua Tree to explore it for a few days... There was no sense looking for BLM land in the dark tonight! Some of our day! Be well... Ara & Spirit The Blog...

Riding Joshua Tree NP, CA.
 I have been feeling like in another Planet (with capital “P”) since we have arrived here yesterday. With my good luck this is an awesome campground, the most remote one as I found out today. Isolation... total silence... Joshua Trees and many rocks... as you will see in the Blog. Be well... enjoy... Ara and Spirit (UralGrowl) The ride...

 Only been to Joshua Tree once but have been wanting to do a moto trip there ever since. I was absolutely mesmerized by the park, and although I have long since renounced my baptism much earlier as LDS, I could see perfectly why the Mormons named the trees for Joshua. Beautiful photo, I'll be checking out the blog for more!

Life as it should be...
 Today was a great day, peaceful and joyful. I have been receiving quite a few e mails from readers that have been enjoying the Journey, and as I was deep in thoughts about my days here, timing could not have been any better receiving an e mail from a good friend of mine, a kind man, and at the same time, quite a sidecar fabricator, Claude Stanley. His words are words to be read everyday as, his own purpose in life is to also spread joy and happiness amongst us... that is just the way he is! I want to share this e mail with you all... I know it will make you think about your own life, regardless where you are and regardless what you are doing. We then took a ride through the Park, a bit of blue skies today... it is all in the Blog... Sit back and enjoy... and just think how fortunate I am to have a friend like Claude! Be well... Ara and Spirit ... in the Blog.

Where was Plan B?
 Ah! A lesson learned... a few maybe... we literally spend the whole day from here to there without the conclusion that should have materialized... Poor Spirit, quietly put up with it... I was disappointed of the outcome... you can read this great day on the Blog... Be well... Ara & Spirit The Blog...

From the Hole in the Wall to Lake Havasu...
 From The Hole in the Wall to Lake Havasu... Retreat has become a habit these past couple of days!... What was I thinking trying to camp at the Hole in the Wall in the Mojave Desert without checking the forecast first! Mid 20's at night, wind blowing at 40mph, hail... and I should really change the spelling of that word... We are now south of Lake Havasu City... nice BLM land... there is something to be said about BLM land! We did the full circle... in pictures on the Blog. Be well... Ara & Spirit The Blog....

A Day in Town...
 A Day in Town... That is Lake Havasu City... nice town... Dogie Bakery... motorcycle shops... drivers are not crazy as other parts of the country... all and all... pretty mellow I have to say! The Fireworks Convention starts tonight... the best of the best for two nights! My friend Jkam is coming to visit for a couple days... he was very instrumental in my preparations for this Journey. We have never met... quite some exciting times ahead. Yesterday is gone... but still remains in the Blog... Be well... Ara & Spirit Last edited by Beemerchef; 02-18-2007 at 07:59 AM.. |

A Homeless gathering...
 A Homeless gathering... It has been a great time having JKam over, we are small numbers but... we did call it a Homeless Riders Get Together!... Wondering how many more are out there with no ties to any walls and their live’s possession’s at hand! JKam is on a Journey as I am, with a deeper Soul than most, the contrast of being unattached to material possessions makes us dig in deeper into the true essence of life. We have been lounging around for a couple days now!... Spirit has a new friend, we have shared some great food and many conversations... Sunrises and Sunsets have been our clock, some great Fireworks seen happening in town... as I have written and pasted the pictures of these couple days in the Blog! You be well... Ara & Spirit The Blog is here...

Historic Rt 66 to Oatman... AZ.
 Historic Rt66 to Oatman, AZ. Our last day here, south of Lake Havasu City... it has been a fine and quiet time, a great place to set up camp, besides a few disrespectful dirt riders not slowing down creating waves of dust! The town has been convenient to get supplies... I did not want to miss the chance to ride Historic 66 to Oatman... First however we rode south on spur 95 making a long loop... thousands of trailers and RV’s that way... sand dunes... and some pictures on the Blog. Be well... Ara & Spirit The Blog... |

New Friends in Kingman, AZ.
 We are finally settled by Red Rock Canyon, Nevada. Why plan any routes since I don’t follow them anyhow!... Left Kingman this morning, actually passed through Las Vegas... I will give you my impressions on the next go around. Yesterday was a smooth ride from Lake Havasu to the Hospitality of Mark, Angie and his wonderful family... including a personal tour in his hangar and some late cooking for everyone... Definitely no dinner for me tonight... but last night was a good one! Be well... Ara & Spirit The Blog... |

To Red Rock Canyon, NV.
 To Red Rock Canyon, NV. We have arrived at Red Rock Canyon and it is cold and windy. A shock to the system for the both of us, we were getting used to running around all day in a T Shirt! For the first time I had to put some rocks at the base of the Dish, even though anchored, 30mph winds with gusts of 50 just did not make me trust that anchor. It was a fine road from Kingman... going through Las Vegas... hummm, what happened to that town? We are settled and even saw a bit of Mt Hamilton... enjoy the pictures. Be well...

A bit of Red Rock Canyon, NV.
 A bit of Red Rock Canyon, NV. I could not stand it anymore... cold and snowing a bit, Spirit has his coat, I have my Gerbings... dark skies or not I wanted to at least ride the loop at Red Canyon. And we did just that... Today, the sun is out again, the temps are still down, and a renewed energy seemed to have surfaced. Sunshine is definitely the meaning of life and the soul. An incredible energizer for me... This was the loop yesterday... we have much hiking and rides planned here... we?... right! Be well... Ara & Spirit The Blog...
