HorizonsUnlimited gathering in Nakusp, British Colombia,Canada -mid August, 2012

Since this event coincided with my presumed departure it was a natural fit to go and use the gathering as a 'take off point'. My house is rented, I've been homeless for a week so a trip to this gathering in the interior of B.C., 500 miles north of Seattle seemed 'just right'. 200 folks showed up, most of which had bikes and most all the people had either travelled extensively on their motorcycles or were planning to do their dream. Here is a picture of a Ural, A Russian motorcycle with 1960's technology (read =less to go wrong) that went from Calgary, Canada to Tierra del Fuego (where I'm heading)last year then was shipped to England for more travel, then back to Canada. This couple have a website called Smiles and Miles.com and they are committed to a different lifestyle than most.
