USA West 2020 Day 6 Video

The USA West 2020 Day 6 video has been posted on YouTube.

This video is not as long as some of the other full day videos (long is a relative term lol). I start out with leaving the Davenport Grand Hotel in Spokane, WA and roll Southwest via US Highway 395 with a stop in Paso, WA for laundry and a delicious lunch of Costco canned Chili, Tabasco and Diet Coke. Then I roll onwards via Washington State Highway 14 to John Day Dam where I setup camp.

USA West 2020 Day 5 Video

The USA West 2020 Day 5 Video has been posted on YouTube. It is a long video, skip around the video, play the background, watch it in 4K on your TV :).

This video starts at the Ferry Dock in Port Townsend, WA and some footage of the ferry ride to Whidbey Island. Next I ride through Whidbey Island to Deception Pass. From Deception Pass I ride down to US Highway 2 and roll East through the mountains over Stevens Pass and Eastward into the high plains to Spokane, WA.

USA South 2020 – Georgia Move Completed

USA South 2020 – Georgia Move came to a successful end last Friday on October 16th 2020. As predicted, my ability to blog in real time eroded as the trip progressed. I did manage to post more timely updates on my personal and Wanderlust Lyfe Facebook pages however.

Total miles for USA South 2020 was 3,133 Miles over ten days. 2 days were zero progress miles towards Georgia as I camped 2 nights at Big Bend, Texas and 2 nights at Camp Wood, Texas.

Quick Update

I made it to Camp Wood Texas. Day 5 is complete. Tomorrow I ride the Twisted Sisters.

Big Bend State Park was spectacular. The roads I took, I think Fm 170 in the state perk is a much better ride than the 2 roads I rode in the National Park. Texas Farm to Market 170 (FM 170) was a great road to ride. Lots of upside and downs, good curves and some epic Scenery along the Rio Grande.

It was hot, darn hot. Tomorrow might be my first day that I have not experienced 100 degrees. I misjudged the weather and packed more cool weather gear. Oops.

Dexter is still leaking oil fairly heavy. Going though about 1 quart a day. God blessed me with an Autozone right when I needed one so I loaded up on 8 quarts of Mobile 20w50 vtwin oil. Today marked the half way point in the trip. I think we’re gonna make it.
