I need more camping!

COVID Time. That’s an unfortunate truth.

I’m glad you enjoyed my little camping adventure story. I hope Paul and I get to make another someday. With the cold weather approaching, I suspect that won’t happen soon. But my riding season will persist. Hopefully through the entire winter but my cold intolerance is already raising its hand. So it is hard to say how things will go. But as you say, if I am restricted, I have memories and experiences to fall back on!

Here I sit enjoying this story. You have brought extra pleasure to my day, now Oct.26,2020, Covid time. Thank you! Such glorious moments of freedom through memories – riding, camping in that part of the world in my imagination as I became immersed in your trip. Here I sit on my couch, preparing for a damp, cool walk about our town… my riding season ending soon. We are never really restricted from access to our experiences…. Thanks again for another wee gift in time.

In reply to Dean.

Hello Dean. Your SYM is plenty for riding through Washington, along the coast and in the desert. They’re only a problem if you decide you want to live on the Interstate and travel at high speeds. But what fun is that?

Sometime soon I’ll be posting a story about my friend Michael riding from Key West to here on his Yamaha 200 Burgman scooter. And he rode on the Interstate.

Be safe and thanks for commenting.

I simply happened upon this story and now I’m convinced I do not at all need to trade-in my 2016 SYM HD 200
(170cc) 16″ wheeled scooter for anything bigger. Looking forward to my spring / summer excursions throughout WA State, the Pacific Coast and our Eastern WA Desert along the mighty Columbia River.

[…] Here’s a look at how things were the last time I came through. A bit more dramatic visually. If you want to see a bit more of this part of Pennsylvania have a look at the post this photograph belongs to — A Mini Adventure-Camping with a Vespa. […]

In reply to Mike.

Pennsylvania is blessed with thousands of miles of lightly traveled roads through some lovely scenic areas. There is a trade-off though with these roads versus Florida — snow, ice, salt and grime. Those empty roads look attractive but when the temperature drops below zero and you’re riding along the romance diminishes…

Steve – I just came across this one from some time back apparently. It was not too long in the least and for a Florida rider, the pictures of the country roads were spectacular. In some 40 years of riding I don’t think I’ve ever found a road with non-existent traffic here.
