If you are an adventure junkie like me...these may be of interest....<br /><br />The first is an online e-zine and I hope you can access it...I don't know, I belong to the HU group so you will just have to see if you can get it...<br /><br />http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/newsletter/2012-10.shtml<br /><br />And this is a guy who is riding from Alaska to Argentina on a tiny little Honda Cub....I love it and he is a cool guy....<br />You do not need a huge machine to go anywhere!<br /><br />http://hondavstheworld.com/<br /><br />Enjoy,<br />Bri

Thanks, Bri!&nbsp; A couple of years ago I read a book by a woman who traveled down the continents:&nbsp; <em>Lois on the Loose:&nbsp; One Woman, One Motorcycle, 20,000 Miles Across the Americas</em>.&nbsp; Good read.&nbsp; I'm also an adventure junkie and have two whole bookshelves of adventure books including several mountain climbing accounts and sea voyages.&nbsp; I especially like solo adventures. <br /><h1 class="parseasinTitle "><span id="btAsinTitle">&nbsp;</span></h1>

Hi mockturtle....I have Lois' book! And you are right, it is a hoot.&nbsp; What a good read...<br /><br />On the HU newsletter there are a couple women with blogs who are RTW solo riders..Tiffany Coates and Sherry Jo Wilkins and their blogs look interesting...<br /><br />I have a bookshelf filled with RTW riders and a few of other vehicle dependent travelers including a couple who did it on bicycles...<br /><br />These are the only books I collect, and like you I love the stories.<br /><br />Have many adventures.....<br />Bri<br /><br />

That was such a good site.&nbsp; I have missed riding my motorcycle this passed year.&nbsp; To take a cross country tour just for the adventure of it would be the cats meow.&nbsp; Alaska proved an adventure when I became the "motorcycle nurse".&nbsp;&nbsp;Even though my&nbsp;fellow nurses tried to get my boss to say I couldn't take the bike out on my visits because it wasn't "professional",&nbsp;&nbsp;my boss wouldn't hear of it...she&nbsp;had her own Harley!&nbsp; HaHa.&nbsp; The patients loved it.&nbsp; I was made to wear black pants so that my chaps didn't look so tough and I&nbsp;wasn't allowed to take my leather jacket into visit, I'd just lock it up on the bike.&nbsp; My patients always had a nurse with helmet hair and black chaps.&nbsp;For four years that motorcycle&nbsp;brought back memories for my patients own adventures&nbsp;and because of that,&nbsp;I got to hear&nbsp;tons of stories from the original Alaskan homesteaders.&nbsp; Its been several years since the bike made a nursing visit.&nbsp; Sure was fun while it lasted.<br /><br />Thanks for giving me a chance to reminisce.<br /><br />Rae
