what a trip and some superb shots. I’ve seen that station before in a photo by Murray Fredericks – looks mental. Good luck with the hangover…
You have a life that is full of great adventures. Like your lifestyle!
I’m sure you’ll soon be out on a big trip this summer. Enjoy the rest, and planning for the next trip. Best cure post trip; is to plan for the next. I always start planning the moment I end the last trip.
Thanks for all the nice comments! They don’t necessarily help to get over the hangover but at least they motivate to kick the blog up and running again.
David: Thanks for the tip. Hadn’t seen Murray fredericks work before. Beautifull photos!
Arnie: It’s a conscious choise. You give up something but get something in return.
Martin: Had a big a plan for the summer but had to cancel. I’ll try to patch with a one-week trip or two. it should help. I’m so deep into this that I’m planning trips while being on one. 😀 The best cure is to go for a new trip but there are risks related just like if curing the more tradional hangover by opening a new bottle… 😉
I will join you one day on one of your great adventures!
But well my friend, is it not a traditional habit of us northernmen to open a new bottle on the morning after, so why not to do it? Get back to saddle and ride a new one dude!
Magnificent photos! Will you be writing up the trip on the blog, I hope so. I agree that the best cure for the hangover is to start planning again 🙂
I’ve not made such a BIG tour, but many smaller ones, which makes it easier. Anyway, my method: I don’t think “when this trip is over, phew, it’s over”, but rather “when this trip is over, then I can do xxx”.
