Los Angeles life....

Pozo/Carrizo ride with the L.A crew 

 

Random rides with John aka Ruggerr 

Thanks for putting me through all that shit John, now I understand!




15 minutes later my first ticket in 14,000 miles and 7 months of riding. "Trespassing on public property". Don't think they know the meaning of an oxymoron. Tks L.A county sheriffs dept.!


Dirty class

Watch and learn






My humble L.A accommodations tks to Ruggerr (on the right). La Crescenta is paradise next to the rest of L.A. And John was not just a super down to earth host but a good friend and mentor.

Somewhere East of Zion

Zion

Out of over a dozen plus national parks I visited on this trip I have to say without a doubt that Zion was by far the most memorable. The shots I got while in the park aren't that impressive and really don't do it's justice, a helmet cam and some well edited HD video would have been better. At the end of the day I don't think anything beats just being there yourself! Riding into Zion is something I'll remember till the day I die.

Out of money and full of luck...

Current location Joshua Tree national park, California, squatting on BLM. So as unfortunate as reality is these days nothing can be done without money. My funds have run low enough that I will not be able to continue my journey to south america. In the next two to three weeks I will be forced to look for a new place to call home in southern california and find work. I'm hopping that in a few months I'll be able to save enough to continue south though as expensive of a state as this is only time will tell. Returning to Moab, Utah is also on my mind though with the current weather it's an iffy idea at best. As much as I hate to have to do this life on the road is more expensive than imagined and reader support is practically non existent. I've yet to find a way to sell prints reliably or make money through photography though I'm still looking into it. I'll be falling back to what I know mechanics, welding and fabrication. Will have what's left of my tools shipped to california and hope for the best. A huge thanks to all of those new people and friends who I've met and helped me along the way. Specially the ADV family whom without I wouldn't have gotten this far. To my family a huge thanks for all you've done to support me in my crazy journey.

Live free or die trying!
