2Rt Mate Tuesday

My Weekly Dispatch

On the road again..

Just got back a few days ago from road trip. Traveled up the California Coast to Bandon, Oregon where I dropped off a friend that had been traveling with me. He has a house and quite a bit of land there, so the timing was perfect for him to jump in the truck with me & trade stories…
​
From there, I continued up the coast of Oregon then over Bend, Oregon to help a friend troubleshoot the ins and outs of buying a home. Then on to Missoula, Helena, Bozeman and Three Forks Montana where I met with friends and took care of some long-overdue business.
​
Then on down to S. Yellowstone and The Grand Tetons which as usual, just stopped my heart. Wow, so powerful.
​
Then over to Telluride Colorado for a day or so to take care of some business for SunRiver Legends and soak in Orvis Hot Springs (Ridgway, CO) not so far away.
​
From there dropped down into Sedona, Arizona.
That route from Colorado to Arizona was truly magical. I could’ve spent a month on that trail… of course I had to get some time in with the South Rim (Grand Canyon) on the way 🙂 Which was different than what it was 45 years ago. OK I’m the one that has changed.
​
Once I hooked into I-8 East it was a straight ride home.
Woke up in my own bed and headed straight down to Stone Steps to go for a long swim in the ocean.
​
Mother Earth has the answers to everything if you listen.

John Steinbeck’s East of Eden (Ryan Holiday) started it all and it was a good companion along the way.

Hope all is well with you and yours.
Ciao for now. ox-D
