A girl, her dog…and a dream

MyMusings

I’ve been putting it off and finally made the decision to put my fingers to the keyboard and begin. Isn’t that what they say blogging is all about: write, write and write some more.

Ideas have been floating around my head for quite some time, years actually. So I’ve decided to write about my life and share it with you; reflecting on the things I’ve done (and not done) and the dreams I have. One of those dreams is to return to living aboard a boat, cruising this marvelous planet we inhabit and writing about it.

Cruising and living aboard, and writing about it, certainly aren’t new. There are couples Continue reading A girl, her dog…and a dream →

Journey to Hyder, Alaska

Kitwanga - Trip to Hyder, AK2006 Hans und Hilda Motorcycle

Hyder, Alaska is a popular destination for many motorcyclists. Located just 2 miles from Stewart, British Columbia and on the Portland Canal, a 70 mile long fjord. Getting there is a nice ride and an opportunity to put some miles on. Many riders will join Ayres Adventures for the Hyder Seek, go ‘just for the halibut’ or as part of earning an Iron Butt Association Award.

We’ve riden up to Hyder the last 2 years, with a smaller group of more casual riders on a ride called the Hans und Hilda Hyder Hunt which was begun by a member of our local BMW motorcycle club, the Edmonton Black Gold Beemers BMW Motorcycle Association (aka: BGB).

The photo above is of Salmon Glacier, the fifth largest glacier in the world. This is only one example of the many spectacular sights to see while you’re in the area. And reason to come back again and again.

So many roads, so little time…

MyMusings

I began this website to share with the you and the rest of the motorcycling community my experiences riding and the many tidbits of information we come across as we meet up with other riders on our journeys. I’m Jacqueline and I ride a motorcycle; more specifically a KTM 950 Adventure. I enjoy adventure motorcycle touring and dream of one day riding off  and seeing some more of the world’s untouched territory. Where to ride, how to outfit our bikes, what’s the hottest, latest gear…

Riding is a very personal experience, and each of us have a unique riding ‘style’ and ‘attitude’. If I can offer a different perspective,  a twist  Continue reading So many roads, so little time… →
