beemerchef Posted March 29, 2007 Author Share Posted March 29, 2007 Darker Skies in Zion NP. Utah... The forecast... after these couple days is as sunny as it can be for as long as they can predict it! Lets endure these couple of days... I know that it will be all worth it. Did not hold us back from some riding as darker skies make for some great pictures and give out a different feeling about this whole place. We did have to turn around, bitter cold winds... the snow flakes were an added attraction... Luckily enough ingredients to make dinner... preceded by a visit to Farmer’s Market... The Journey goes on... cannot even think about our next destination! This is Home for now... Be well... Ara & Spirit www.theoasisofmysoul.com My Blog in darker colors today!!! Link to comment
Marty Hill Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Ara, Have you forgotten that I am from this forum??? You and Bob should have a great time. Link to comment
beemerchef Posted March 31, 2007 Author Share Posted March 31, 2007 I am so confused... How can I forget???... Bob... let me know the plans... Kolob Terrace road, Zion NP. Utah East of here is still bitter cold, I was so wrong assuming that things will arm up at higher elevations! I guess I have lived in Florida too long... But west of here, off the town of Virgin, is Kolob Terrace road which is less crowded entrance to also Zion Park. Love the setting, the riding... but not the road blocked by the snow a bit further up... Cooked up a poor man’s pasta dish also with what I had left in the small pantry... tasty!... It is on the Blog ... in living colors! Be well... Ara & Spirit www.theoasisofmysoul.com Link to comment
Bob Palin Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Bob... let me know the plans... Plans? I don't have any plans, just let me know if/when you are coming. As for the 35 footer, well I really don't know about such things, my street is fairly narrow but my driveway is large... Link to comment
beemerchef Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 April Fool?... not really! I wish... April Fool’s day unfortunately did not fool me as I hear the snap of a broken eye bolt... There we go... again! But... happened 10 feet away from camp... could have happened the day before when we went riding through Red Rock Canyon and Bryce Canyon up 9100 feet... without any steering it would have been quite a drop... A couple more days... of course any day without riding is a tough one!... and we will be back on the road... in the meantime I wrote about the rides we just took... on the Blog. Be well...

beemerchef Posted April 4, 2007 Author Share Posted April 4, 2007 Bryce Canyon itself... Utah. It turns out that I will be staying in Utah for about another month... how strange that when in Anza Borrego my thoughts where to head North, but slowly I went East... and now, looking at the map of Utah... with all its attractions and colors... why not wander a bit more here! If the US Postal mail is on track my parts should be in this morning... and then it will be on to the welder for fixing a new crack in the mounts... luckily a secondary mount. I am so mentally tired of all those breakages that I cannot even comment on them... All I want is a safe rig... the humor is hard to find... it does show however how society governs themselves, the ones in the business have been the hardest ones to deal with... I can just imagine how the Corporate World is being ran... I do want to thank all the ones that have send me their support... they have made these pasts days easier and allow me to look into the future of this dilemma... Bryce Canyon was awesome. Rough conditions... but definitely a place to go back to in a bit warmer weather. Spirit has been a real trooper... and right now, he is also anxious to get going... Enjoy the Blog ...

beemerchef Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 My little Island of Paradise This inhabited stretch has become my little Island of Paradise these past few days and will be for a few more days to come... all is here and at the same time... nothing! Lots of vermillion was used in this past sunset... wish you would have all been here to experience it... The trout is a thing of the past... long gone now... you guessed it!... It was great... could taste its freshness with every bite. BMW of Las Vegas gave me some hundred dollar chips... their true value?... great service. The Blog will have it’s story! Be well...

beemerchef Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 A little ride in the neighborhood, Utah. I have the feeling that everyone wished to have a neighborhood like this one!... Right or left or north or south... great roads and scenery, hardly any traffic and there is a part of Utah that is not all red! A great dinner (at least they thought so...) for my friends Michael and Sandra, some playing time for Spirit and his buddies... it is all good... all in the Blog . In our conversations last night, we were wondering why get togethers are always where the crowd is!!! How about one right here... Be well... www.theoasisofmysoul.com Ara & Spirit Link to comment
beemerchef Posted April 14, 2007 Author Share Posted April 14, 2007 (edited) And all end up well... School is never out just when we “might” think we are done... everyday new lessons are being provided, sometimes the teaching is kind, sometimes not. What started as, finally thinking of having one, a bad day, end up being a great one... solving obstacles... followed by a great ride... and a great night sleep as Spirit seems to be getting back on track.... It is just part of everyday life on the road... we are not exempt from anything that you yourselves go through. The logistics are sometimes harder, but I would not trade this lifestyle with any other one... I know that some will agree after reading the Blog ...

beemerchef Posted April 16, 2007 Author Share Posted April 16, 2007 A ride to Cedar Breaks and Kolob Canyons, Utah. So yes, I am a bit concerned about Spirit’s condition, it tears me up that he is still sick. Wish it was me instead... so hard to see and feel my helpless buddy! Time for a Doctor... We did do a ride yesterday, he was doing better then. As usual Utah provides some exciting sceneries and roads. Only wish the winds and the rains would stop soon... maybe tomorrow!

beemerchef Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 A healthier Spirit and a safer rig, Utah... +... Unfortunately my Website had been down at times these past two days due to power outages in Vermont... I apologize for that. Was a bit surprised they do not have a generator... But it all just a matter of time... such as Spirit’s health. He received some good care yesterday and as usual acted like a gentleman only stunned by a crying baby lamb!!! The rig is much safer as you can see the work done on it... of the outmost quality! A great visit to the Dinosaur Discovery Center... hard to go back in time a couple millions of years! We are packing to head for California for a few days... with the hope that Spirit gets better by the day... if not, will track back. The outpour of concerns for Spirit has moved me more than anything else on this Journey, and realizing that so many great people are out there makes me want to get out and... mingle!!! Hope you enjoy today’s Blog ... Be well... www.theoasisofmysoul.com Ara and a healthier Spirit! Link to comment

beemerchef Posted April 21, 2007 Author Share Posted April 21, 2007 One road to Kernville, CA. We are in Kernville, California, amongst many riders... friends from the past and making new ones. Cold... very cold, not handling it very well when it drops to the low 20's... Spirit is doing better everyday and probably wondering why “all those people” want to pet him!!! He did find a few pairs of legs to rub his back against and I am always thankful to anyone that is nice to him...Geode, Glenn... well, cannot blame him for bailing out, weather, distance... schedule... needless to say... “WHIMP”!!! There will be more in a day or two... have to get back to camp now, my friend Jkam just showed up!... surprise... You be well... enjoy... *** The picture above does not reflect my sentiments toward Spirit... just a sick sense of humor... Ara & Spirit www.theoasisofmysoul.com Today's Blog.... Link to comment

beemerchef Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 Hey Killer... I will. I am heading to CA instead of Torrey now... I will see you next year unless somewhere else!... The road back to Utah... It was truly awesome to meet in person all the faces only labeled by a name for these past years... And at the same time, to be honest about it, my tolerance for sleeping in the freezing temps seems... well has!... diminished... As a couple of my new friends said... “it is age Ara!’. I will not deny it... The riders, sceneries, the roads, even the locals in Kernville made us feel so welcomed... we are on the way back to Utah to gather up the rest of my “stuff”, just to turn around and head back to another circle... the California Circle which comprises Death Valley Natl Park, Giant Sequoia Natl Monument, Sequoia Natl Park and Kings Canyon Natl Park... Give us a couple days and we will get there!... eventually... Till next time... you stay well. Ara & Spirit www.theoasisofmysoul.com Link to comment
beemerchef Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 The Extraterrestrial Highway, NV. We are back from Kernville and we are leaving for Kernville... Long story!!! It was a great, cold, and sometimes miserable ride back... but those bad moments are water under the bridge and all that remains are some great memories of the Extraterrestrial Highway... Did it flip my thoughts because of its name?... or the serenity of its vast quietness? Still thinking about it... And some pictures of it on the Blog ...

beemerchef Posted April 27, 2007 Author Share Posted April 27, 2007 Camping by the Kern River and a great ride... CA. I guess last weekend’s get together took its toll... as we are back... a bit more north by the river, National Forest primitive camping... peaceful... and quiet, for now! The weather?... Riding to Glennville was an open vent jacket deal... incredibly pleasant. Sequoia is in the plans... will have to detour as the road from here is still closed... we are just settling in, as they say.

beemerchef Posted April 28, 2007 Author Share Posted April 28, 2007 After six months on the road... CA. Just realized yesterday... the 27th... six months since we left Georgia! Such changes, and feeling as more to come as the Journey takes its own character and personality. Nothing to celebrate about!... Just thoughts after thoughts crossing my mind... I am not one that could just ride and eat and sleep... seems like, as I have all my life, to be dedicated somehow to a purpose accomplishing something positive... Erasing the past path to create a new one and sharing it through my Blog has been a rewarding one... and with some hope will remain that way. Thank you all for your support... hope I get to write someday... “After 10 years on the road...” State and Country unknown for now! Be well... www.theoasisofmysoul.com our Blog...

beemerchef Posted April 30, 2007 Author Share Posted April 30, 2007 Blog A “must”do loop... CA. One of the most pleasant ride taken yesterday... could have been a frame of mind but I know that the terrain had a lot to do with it also. Constant change of scenery, friendly drivers waiving, great weather and nice breeze... Watched some kayakers having a blast and back to camp a bit early decided to do my own take on this “tri-tip” revolution so popular here!!! You be the judge on the Blog ... Be well...

beemerchef Posted May 3, 2007 Author Share Posted May 3, 2007 The BIG BIG trees in CA... and a cup of coffee! Moving means busy... I get particular as to where we camp and sometimes it is not too easy finding the right spot. And then there is cooking, riding and exploring, Spirit and our playtime, you know such things are laundry and Murphy’s law to always fix the unpredictable... I would not trade my days anymore for anything you could offer me to replace these times... Including today’s ride to Sequoia amongst the BIG tress... they are huge!... and always wondered... why there? The first part is already on the Blog ... with the story of a cup of coffee... beware! You be well... part two will follow very shortly... we are moving again tomorrow... for a week or so... it will be a bit more permanent...

beemerchef Posted May 5, 2007 Author Share Posted May 5, 2007 Rain or shine we ride!!!... CA. The worse detriment in our Journey is bad weather. We have been lucky... I cannot take the credit that I follow sunshine throughout as we have had bad surprises... from actually lack of forgetting to check the weather sites! Today started heavily forecasted... but it did not keep us down... Too many roads and sites to see... even if it is a short loop we were out there... Nice roads... nice scenery... California does not cease to amaze me... unfortunately the prices of goods also take me a bit back... Our day... and some of the past day on our Blog ... in great colors of Spring.

beemerchef Posted May 7, 2007 Author Share Posted May 7, 2007 Under the clear skies of California... The skies are finally clear... Sequoia and Yosemite are waiting for us, but there are clouds of pain within me! A kidney infection... stones perhaps also... have managed to make their way since yesterday... Already on medication... awaiting for all this to end... soon I hope... still took a chance for a little ride and mingle with some friends for some great food and conversations. Might have been a slight judgement error as now I am paying even a higher price for that escapade... but the road... at least half of it was worth it and so was the scenery as written on the Blog ... Karma has been good as you might read about it... and as always my thoughts are... so many have it so much worse. This too shall pass... Till later... be well... I am trying myself to go there!!!

beemerchef Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 On to the Gold Country... CA. Maybe a couple hundred miles further north tonight, I don’t keep much track of mileage truly. More important are the roads traveled, the scenery and the feel of it. Past Pioner on 88... ahead of the riders coming up for the Pashnit Gathering and feeling very fortunate to be allowed to stay here. Beautiful country... much luscious green trees... great weather which I hope holds up for everyone else. The route is on the Blog and so are a few other pictures... Be well...

Maybe you want to wait a little longer, we are getting near completion... not much left that could break... This was a fabricator part by the way... Besides that, the ride was just fantastic... 88/89 to Lake Tahoe at this time of the year must be the best... cool, just right temps, the roads are dry and open, even Tioga pass is opening tomorrow at noon! Want to see some pictures... see what happened?... The Blog is up to date... SmuMug was down for maintenance last night, could not post the pictures and that is OK too...

Great people making us feel so welcomed, a family oriented gathering, nice to see and feel the togetherness, the friendships, the camaraderie... good food (at least I hope it truly was Friday night too...). The names will surface as we would love to come back next year. I still need to have a square piece of metal, which a bolt goes through, permanently repaired with a solid piece machined, drilled and welded...

Route 84, the Delta… CA We sure spend a lot of time on such a short stretch of road… a few hours to cover the 18 mile round trip. There is just something about those 9 miles… different crops, the trees lining the road, the water pumps in old trucks running 24/7, the best for my sight?… the sprinklers themselves… you can hear them too as the traffic is minimal… We did participate… “we”… at the “Good Morning Sacramento” TV show… channel 31, CBS… fast and faster one needs to be!!!

It has been overcast, but we have been too busy taking the rig apart to notice much of it. The great news is that “Old Faithful‘s” transmission is fine… it is a big load off my mind. The dogs are having a blast playing, sometimes hard but always friendly. It is nice to see Spirit having a friend… I often thought about getting him a companion… but… where would he fit in the sidecar! I had a chance of it the other day when I was offered a Pit puppy!… white with black lips and an L marking on her neck.. Named “Lips”!

Patience… I think more than that will be needed. 1100 miles or so to go which will see me back in Seattle Saturday, not Friday as I had planned on. Driving is not my favorite past time!

beemerchef Posted June 27, 2007 Author Share Posted June 27, 2007 Idling near Seattle… WA One day at the time brings us closer to the new roads ahead of us… We are here thought, so laid back… further than most houses from the main road it feels like we are indeed camping out… the dogs are having a blast and much work ahead for both Andy and I… as I have been allowed to help!!! Yes… A nice walk right here and some thoughts in the Blog … Be well… www.theoasisofmysoul.com our Blog... Ara & Spirit Link to comment
beemerchef Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 Enumclaw… WA I don’t know about Spirit… but I can taste and see the finish line suddenly! If it was not for the rebuilt shocks shipped from Georgia ground instead of air… we would have been rolling by Monday for sure… Now? Maybe Tuesday evening… pull a late one! Anyhow I cannot leave this town till I have a piece of a pie from the “Pie Goddess”… You can see her on the Blog … Till later… you be well… Ara & Spirit … and don’t forget, if and when in your area… would love to cook for you! www.theoasisofmysoul.com our Blog...
