Sunday ride to Stone Brewing Company

Ride to Stone Brewing Company [adrotate group=”6″] The Family That Plays Together Stays Together It seems like it has been a long time since I did a Sunday ride, so yesterday, I did something about it. My buddy, Phil, and I rode down to my son’s house and met up for a ride down to Escondido to the Stone Brewing Company. It was a great ride and Stone Brewing Company provides some great beer. Their food is not bad either. Someday I will have to take Tanya there. Enjoy the photos. [adrotate group=”1″]

Ride To Neptune’s Net

Photos From the Break-In Ride to Neptune’s Net [adrotate group=”6″] Cruising the PCH As mentioned earlier, I got a new bike. Since I plan on taking a ride to Sturgis, SD in August, I need to get some miles on the engine so it will be properly broken in. Well, that is my excuse anyway. Yesterday I decided to cruise up the Pacific Coast Highway to Neptune’s Net. It is a popular biker hangout on Sundays, directly across the street from the ocean at the Los Angeles and Ventura county’s line. It was a great ride and I have a …

Photos From Lake Tahoe and US 395

Pictures from along Lake Tahoe and US 395 [adrotate group=”6″] California and Nevada We spent the day driving around Lake Tahoe. It is amazing how long that can take when you are stopping as frequently as we do for picture taking. Tahoe was a bit chilly, but amazingly beautiful. After circling the lake we headed towards Yosemite. Unfortunately, Highway 120 was closed, so we had to figure out what to do about that. After driving back and forth on the 395 as we changed destinations, we decided to just head south and see what we see. That policy has worked …

Photos from Nevada

Nevada Photos [adrotate group=”6″] Wendover to South Lake Tahoe We left West Wendover, NV and headed west to Lake Tahoe. While it was a little chilly, it was nothing compared to the last several days. Since it was Cinco de Mayo, we decided to find a Mexican restaurant along the way for dinner. We landed in Sparks, NV at Cantina Los Tres Hombres. The food was tasty and they had a wide selection of tequilas to choose from. Alexis, our server made a couple nice suggestions and we left satisfied. From there it was a relatively short drive to South …

Photos From the Windy Plains

Photos From Wyoming and Utah [adrotate group=”6″] Independence Rock and Great Salt Lake Time is running out and there are still a lot of miles to go, so today was a lot of driving. Since we were driving through Wyoming and Utah it was easy to put on the miles as there was very little to stop and photograph. Coupled with the fact that the wind was 60+ in places, when we did stop to do anything, we usually did it quickly as it was really cold. We did spend a little time at Independence Rock, and walked around most …

Photos From Custer State Park

Photos Of Our Third Day In South Dakota [adrotate group=”6″] Our Visit To Custer State Park, Sturgis and Spearfish Today, Tanya and I spent a few hours cruising around Custer State Park. Neither of us had been there before, and thanks to a spontaneous turn and the input of a park ranger that noticed our cameras, we ventured far into the park. It was a wonderful decision as the photos will show. We took another detour north to Sturgis and Spearfish, as I wanted to show Tanya what it was that drove me to ride. I was amazed at what …

Photos From Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota

Beautiful Midwest Skies [adrotate group=”6″] The Drive From Kansas to South Dakota Woke up in Kansas City, KS and it looked like it rained in the few hours I slept. This was confirmed when I took Buddy out for his morning walk when it began pouring buckets, complete with lightning and thunder. I guess it was the fringe of the storm that caused all the tornadoes that touched down everywhere we had already traveled to. On the upside, there were some pretty nice cloud formations that made for some nice photographs. We blasted over to Omaha, NE and had one …

Fun times in Hannibal, MO

Photos From Illinois, Missouri and Kansas [adrotate group=”6″] Fun Visit To Hannibal, MO Woke up in Springfield, IL to a very blustery day. We decided to head to Hannibal, MO to take a couple pictures and move on. That lasted several hours. Very cool little town, and if you appreciate Mark Twain like I do, it is a total kick. My great-grandfather was born there and Tanya had to wonder if they ever crossed paths. We then took a ride to Pershing State Park and eventually to Kansas City, KS. We did stop in Kansas City, MO because we wanted …

Gaucho’s Brazilian Steakhouse

Gaucho’s Brazilian Steakhouse [adrotate group=”6″] Valparaiso, IN The first time I visited Valparaiso, IN was 2007. My girlfriend was new to the area, so neither of us had a clue as far as any of the good restaurants in the area. It seemed that in order for us to find fine dining we had to drive an hour north to Chicago. Luckily, we happened to drive past Gaucho’s on Highway 30. Not only was the food good, the service was great. At the end of our meal we went into the cocktail lounge. Tanya had recently been introduced to Mai …
