I guess I knew it had to happen sooner or later. I’m just as glad it’ll be sooner. I’ll be returning to The North Country this summer. They say that once you’ve been to The North Country you never really leave. I have found that to be true. This is one of the posts you probably missed because of the …
Well it’s been sometime since I felt wooed by my Mistress of the North. Thinking back over the last couple of months I guess it’s because I’ve had some other things on my mind. In other words, I’ve been preoccupied you might say. This isn’t to say that I completely shut her out by any means, but I will admit …
Well, it’s that time of year again. Happy New Year! Time for everybody to renew their membership to the gym, forget the past and move into the future. Have you been thinking about your New Year resolutions? Yah, me neither. I’ve tried that and it only works for a couple of weeks or days at best. Sometimes just hours. Why …
Just finished up a couple of little 6×8 oil paintings from the Long Ride North this summer. The two latest additions to the collection are one of the Matanuska Glacier, Alaska and the other is from Haines Junction, Yukon. The Matanuska Glacier is in Alaska on the Glenn Highway about 60 miles or so Northeast of Palmer, Alaska which is …
I finally have the photos and video all downloaded and organized from the Long Ride North. For all of you new commers, thanks for signing up by the way, my wife Kathy and I and her brother Tim and his wife, rode our Harleys to Alaska this summer. For some day by day blogs of the trip look over to …

This is the view of the North Saskatchewan River Valley from a picnic area at the Sakatchewan River Crossing in Brithish Columbia between Banff and Jasper. What impressed me with this scene, as did …
Well, it’s almost been a month since we returned from our Long Ride North and I’ve been thinking about the Peace River in Alberta, Canada. For those of you just tuning in, my wife Kathy and I and her brother Tim and his wife Donna rode our motorcycles to Alaska and back. Kathy rode with me. Tim and Donna …
Here’s a 9×12 oil painting of the Red Roofed Gazebo I did at the duck pond at Baldrich park in Montrose a couple of Sundays ago. Since I didn’t get any painting done on the Long Ride North I’ve had to get right back into to since we’ve been home. The above photo is of the painting with the frame and the …
In last nights post I said we had traveled 3279.8. I was tired. It should have read 8279.8. Thanks for the understanding. I will say that it was quite nice to wake up in my own bed this morning.
Today the Long Ride North came to an end…at least the physical part of the ride. We are back home after 8279.8 miles and 28 days. I have to say that I’m ready for a break. I think I’ll take the rest of today and tomorrow off and then on Monday I’ll start to get on with the rest of …
