Day 2! Left at dawn from St. Croix Falls heading to Devils Lake ND.
All geared up!! one last look at things!
My bro-in-law came over this weekend and we packed up the bikes and took a test ride. Amazingly nothing fell off!! All I need to do is laundry and pack my clothes for the trip!! Its getting real under 3 days and counting.

I needed a little extra organization in my saddle bags. Looking over the intraweb I ran across somebody who added a shelve into their panniers. It got my brain a humming and away I went. With nothing but scrap parts in my garage I was able to put together this little shelf. Now I can... Continue Reading →
Pre-Pack!
A little prep never hurt anybody! Besides I can figure out the best place for a bottle of medicinal bourbon. I had more room than I thought, or am I not packing enough? Plenty of time to go over the necessites! 64 more days!
