  • In this episode, I finish my ride through the USA and cross the border into Canada! A last little ride through Idaho, where I encounter some more snow (of course!) and that's it off to the border!

Although the rally in South Africa was exciting there are so many places you have ventured, so many sites you have seen and so many wonderful people you have met throughout your adventures I surely cannot pick a favorite. I am 80 years old and have seen much of the world but nothing like the wonderful adventures that you have allowed me to tag along. I do thank you so much for all your beautiful hard work and a wonderful way you seem to touch 99% of us. Stay safe and bless you. The Swabbie

      I just started following her, but lucky me, I am living just 100 KM / 60 miles north of Creston, on 150 km / 90 mile long Kootenay Lake. I hope she checks out the beautiful, quiet highways along the long, pure, snow-fed lakes of the Kootenay District of southeastern British Columbia, pronounced koo-ten-ay, the Engish word version of the K'Tunaxa (K-tu-na-ha) Indigenous People. This area is in the Columbia Mountains, named after the huge river which starts here, and flows south into the USA. I don't know where she is now, but if she goes north along several large lakes and small historic silver mining towns and villages to the historic railway town of Revelstoke, she will join up with Highway #1, the Trans-Canada, which goes east through spectacular Rogers Pass in the Columbia Mountains and then into the world famous Rocky Mountain National Parks of Banff, Yoho, Kootenay and Jasper. By the way, Queen Victoria of Great Britain named the province after the British, or headwaters section, of the Columbia River, early explorers and fur traders actually traversed it in both directions in the early 1800's from it source near present day Jasper, Alberta, Canada fighting currents, rapids, sandbars, year-round snow-fed icy water, rain-forests and hot deserts for 2000 km / 1200 miles to Fort Astoria on the Pacific Ocean near present day Portland, Oregon, USA. Major hydro-electric dams now harness most of the water for power and flood control on both sides of the border.

I intended to sack her in BC, once my trip was done. But I couldn't. I ended up trucking her back to Ontario for a small fortune!

      Get one. and learn to ride it. It's not a bicycle. Find some good dirt biking people to ride with for a while that will help you learn handling techniques. Stay off the pavement as much as possible until you learn how to really control your bike. You have to avoid the mistakes other drivers on the road make when driving. It won't matter who's in the wrong if you are looking down from heaven. Many motorcycle handling videos. Then practice, practice, practice.

      Why wouldn't she be ?! She's got such a lavish lifestyle as a biker, never sleeps in a tent , she always sleeps in fine hotels, most people couldn't possibly afford not even a quarter of her joy ride trip, always on holiday and never worrying about money ! Lucky cow I'd say

      Her attitude is admirable and her mood is always positive and realistic. And she doesn't shy away from difficult roads or opportunities. I was amazed by her stamina and resilience as she was traveling from Colombia to Panama to avoid the Darien Gap on a small boat with Alaska strapped to the boat and three guys as her company for six hours. That takes guts, determination, charm and intelligence.

      @@Bob-Maplethorpe Hard to say about route she took to Alaska. Having lived in Northern BC , and knowing she likes dirt roads, there really is no way for her to go through BC and Yukon to get to Alaska without doing days and days of tarmac. The distances in the north are vast with few to no towns. The scenery on the Alaska Highway ( which starts in Dawson Creek BC) is world class spectacular. It will be interesting to see how this plays out both going to, and returning from, Alaska. I see one of her recent posts was marked as Brooks Alberta so I assume on her return trip she came back down through Alberta to Dinosaur Provincial Park and the badlands. Maybe she will travel east to the Maritimes and ship back to Europe or Africa?
