Colorado sure has some pretty incredible passes! Also Caleb thought it would be a good idea to tie his jacket near his motorcycle’s rear sprocket…

We crossed the continental divide! I guess if we get tired of motorcycles floating to the Pacific is now an option ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oklahoma sure was hot and flat! Thankfully New Mexico and Colorado are much cooler. And more mountainous. And they have trees. And the roads have curves. We appreciate all these things.

Oklahoma roads continue on and on. And on. And on. Also, we hit some gnarly mud.

We made it to Oklahoma! Which, it turns out, is pretty much just never-ending straight farm roads. Also, more kitten!

We leave Little Rock, AR and make our way through some rain in the Ozarks. And we find a kitten!

We’ve made our way into Arkansas (which is filled with lots of very dusty dirt farm roads!) from Mississippi. The Africa Twin needed a new tire so we headed about 40 miles off course to pick one up from Cycle Gear in Little Rock.

After leaving the Wolfs we hit the road again and made our way into the state of Mississippi.

We had a fun couple of days taking a break from riding while visiting some friends and family near Nashville, TN.

About Us

We are 2 brothers and one dad who aim to cross America this summer on the Trans-America Trail; a collection of 5000+ miles of dirt roads from the North Carolina Atlantic Coast to the Pacific Ocean in Oregon. Paul is a recent UC Berkeley Computer Science MS grad who will be writing software in San Francisco this fall. Caleb is an SB City College student, rock climber, and drone photographer. The dad is a USMC veteran with a background in graphics, family ministry at Calvary Chapel SB, caregiving, and Community Service work with SB Police. They all like motorcycles. And encourage following Christ even more than following motorcycle blogs! Middle brother Cory is off to Peru this summer and bless the mom's support from home. Our summer will be an adventure of dual-sport-riding-camping-photographing-sketching our way west from early June to mid-July, 2017. We should soon connect with 3 Honda motorcycles. Some time around the first week of June, you can visit the website of Motorcyclist Magazine for other cool postings with aerial drone shots and more.
