Pretty much I blasted back from San Francisco in about a week and a half. Running low on money and spirit, I really wanted to get home. Someday I would like to return to Yellowstone and head north to the Canadian Rockies as well. Here is just dump of some of the pictures I took on my way back.<br /><br /><a href="http://s634.photobucket.com/albums/uu69/mkasianchuk/?action=view¤t=_MG_5839.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i634.photobucket.com/albums/uu69/mkasianchuk/_MG_5839.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s634.photobucket.com/albums/uu69/mkasianchuk/?action=view¤t=_MG_5841.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i634.photobucket.com/albums/uu69/mkasianchuk/_MG_5841.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s634.photobucket.com/albums/uu69/mkasianchuk/?action=view¤t=_MG_5850.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i634.photobucket.com/albums/uu69/mkasianchuk/_MG_5850.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s634.photobucket.com/albums/uu69/mkasianchuk/?action=view¤t=_MG_5868.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i634.photobucket.com/albums/uu69/mkasianchuk/_MG_5868.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s634.photobucket.com/albums/uu69/mkasianchuk/?action=view¤t=_MG_5880.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i634.photobucket.com/albums/uu69/mkasianchuk/_MG_5880.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s634.photobucket.com/albums/uu69/mkasianchuk/?action=view¤t=_MG_5890.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i634.photobucket.com/albums/uu69/mkasianchuk/_MG_5890.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s634.photobucket.com/albums/uu69/mkasianchuk/?action=view¤t=_MG_5895.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i634.photobucket.com/albums/uu69/mkasianchuk/_MG_5895.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s634.photobucket.com/albums/uu69/mkasianchuk/?action=view¤t=_MG_5933.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i634.photobucket.com/albums/uu69/mkasianchuk/_MG_5933.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s634.photobucket.com/albums/uu69/mkasianchuk/?action=view¤t=_MG_5927.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i634.photobucket.com/albums/uu69/mkasianchuk/_MG_5927.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />So I headed east to Minnesota to visit some family, and had a great night out with my cousin. Next I went to Milwaukee to visit a friend from home who just moved there, and saw the Harley Davidson Museum. Pretty cool. After that it was interstate blasting. My last day I rode 730 miles home from Toledo Ohio. This trip was amazing and life changing and I can't wait to do it again! hahaMKasianchukhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04997643108254078520noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8179999860277297655.post-8645518654970533422009-07-25T22:00:00.003-04:002009-07-25T22:03:00.660-04:00Pacifica CAI've been in Pacifica for a week, mainly relaxing and exploring San Francisco with Kim. I've been really bad about taking pictures, and I bought a disposable camera which has been my photo outlet. Digital picture taking will resume when I depart tomorrow heading East! I plan on taking between two and three weeks to get back to Boston. While I was here I got some new shoes for the bike, watched alot of tour de france, and had tons of fun. As much fun as California is, I definately wont be missing the 9.5% sales tax, or the insane traffic. (Though legal lane splitting is the best thing ever, and also the scariest). Oh also, the house I stayed at had 6 chickens and we had eggs every morning!<br /><br /><a href="http://s634.photobucket.com/albums/uu69/mkasianchuk/?action=view¤t=_MG_5837.jpg" target="_blank"><img

Great riding today. Almost all on smaller highways (which of course out here have 65mph limits!). Great sites, no traffic, and not too hot. And I even avoided all the rain!<br /><img src="http://www.kasianchuk.com/summer2k9/day11-01.jpg"><br /><img src="http://www.kasianchuk.com/summer2k9/day11-02.jpg"><br /><img src="http://www.kasianchuk.com/summer2k9/day11-03.jpg"><br />Prescott tomorrow to visit Scott!MKasianchukhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04997643108254078520noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8179999860277297655.post-19134179310752781632009-06-25T00:35:00.002-04:002009-06-25T00:37:40.008-04:00Day 10: Santa Fe and Pecos NMDecided to stay an extra night in Santa Fe and explore the area. Met a cool guy named Mark on a WeeStrom. He's doing a similar trip with no really deadline. He is a chef between jobs. Might meet up with him later in California.<br /><br />Went to some Pueblo Ruins in Pecos. There was some nice riding in the area as well. I had heard going up to Taos was really nice but I didnt get the chance.<br /><img src="http://www.kasianchuk.com/summer2k9/day10-01.jpg"><br /><img src="http://www.kasianchuk.com/summer2k9/day10-02.jpg"><br /><img src="http://www.kasianchuk.com/summer2k9/day10-03.jpg"><br />Got a burrito for lunch and ate it by this river.<br /><img src="http://www.kasianchuk.com/summer2k9/day10-04.jpg"><br />Fixed gear in New Mexico haha!<br /><img src="http://www.kasianchuk.com/summer2k9/day10-05.jpg">MKasianchukhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04997643108254078520noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8179999860277297655.post-32388510540376683792009-06-25T00:32:00.002-04:002009-06-25T00:35:42.773-04:00Day 9: Elk City OK to Santa Fe NMNot much to say.

I blasted 415 miles on I-40 in a desperate attempt to get out of the heat. It didn't work, but I got closer to New Mexico which is only in the low 80s. I broke down and got a cheap motel room here and boy was it worth it. I did manage to lose my main set of keys at a rest stop in the middle of nowhere, I'm using my spares, and I'm gonna try and stop into a Honda dealer to maybe get another spare when I have some more time in Arizona. There is a Honda dealer across from this motel but they don't open till 9am tomorrow and I want to get an extra early start again. It makes the first 2-3 hours of riding bearable. Santa Fe tomorrow!MKasianchukhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04997643108254078520noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8179999860277297655.post-19403273622415146342009-06-25T00:30:00.000-04:002009-06-25T00:31:45.209-04:00Day 7: Parsons TN to Morrilton ARIt's still hot!!!!!! Today I got up early to try and beat the heat, and I just blasted on I-40 all day for about 340 miles. Got into a KOA at 230 and I'm just hanging out in the store on my computer. (AC in here). Didn't take any pictures cause it was just interstate. Had to take extra pit stops to hydrate! Its about 96 Degrees here and I think I'm gonna have to do the same thing tomorrow. Not much to see in Arkansas and Oklahoma anyway right?MKasianchukhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04997643108254078520noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8179999860277297655.post-72399680193822524122009-06-25T00:27:00.001-04:002009-06-25T00:30:41.381-04:00Day 6: Tellico Plains TN to Parsons TNITS HOT! Heat wave in the south! This yankee can barely take it. I got some BBQ in Lynchburg and it was OK. I've actually had better in Boston! (Blue Ribbon BBQ - Arlington MA It's amazing!)<br /><img src="http://www.kasianchuk.com/summer2k9/day06-01.jpg"><br />Stopped in for the tour, and it was great. Had a great guide who was really entertaining.<br /><img src="http://www.kasianchuk.com/summer2k9/day06-02.jpg"><br /><img src="http://www.kasianchuk.com/summer2k9/day06-03.jpg"><br />Wasn't allowed to take this picture but I did anyway.

Can't say enough good things about this place! Best campsite I've been to, and its motorcycles and bicycles only! Great people running this place, if anyone is in the area stay here! They have cabin's with AC too. Free coffee and laundry.<br /><img src="http://www.kasianchuk.com/summer2k9/day05-04.jpg"><br /><img src="http://www.kasianchuk.com/summer2k9/day05-05.jpg">MKasianchukhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04997643108254078520noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8179999860277297655.post-48478696102682930212009-06-17T12:22:00.003-04:002009-06-17T12:28:32.069-04:00Day 3Rain! Rode from Staunton Virginia to my Uncle and Aunt's house in Oak Ridge NC. I'm glad I only had about 185 miles to ride today because it was pouring rain almost the entire time. I had originally planned to ride about 100 miles of Skyline drive and the Blue Ridge Parkway but when I saw the view of the parkway in the picture below, I decided it would be safer to just blast on the highway. I'm glad I didnt get caught in the rain in wind up at 3000 feet!<br /><br /><img src="http://www.kasianchuk.com/summer2k9/day03-01.jpg"><br /><br />It was my Uncle's birthday as well so We went out to dinner and had some birthday cake! When my Aunt asked "Do you want to cut the cake and make a wish?" my Uncle replied "What do I have to wish for? I already have you!"<br /><br /><img src="http://www.kasianchuk.com/summer2k9/day03-02.jpg"><br /><img src="http://www.kasianchuk.com/summer2k9/day03-03.jpg"><br /><br />I'm staying an extra night here in NC because its going to be nothing but rain tomorrow. So I'll be heading to Tennessee on Thursday.MKasianchukhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04997643108254078520noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8179999860277297655.post-16269043590509027682009-06-17T12:20:00.002-04:002009-06-17T12:22:26.313-04:00Day 2Got into my site really late last night after dark due the the late departure from Massachusetts. Spent the night in the Delaware water gap right near the borders of NJ, Pennsylvania, and NY. Rode 375 miles down to Virginia and took part of Skyline drive which was beautiful. Wish I had time to ride more of it but I had to put down some miles before dark.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.kasianchuk.com/summer2k9/day02-01.jpg"><br><br /><img src="http://www.kasianchuk.com/summer2k9/day02-02.jpg"><br><br /><img src="http://www.kasianchuk.com/summer2k9/day02-03.jpg"><br>MKasianchukhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04997643108254078520noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8179999860277297655.post-37311848645834839612009-06-17T12:16:00.003-04:002009-06-17T12:19:46.996-04:00Bye New England!Heading to California.
