Motorcycle trip; complete map.
Here we go, all the .gpx files I collected along my motorcycle trip, on one big map. Unfortunatly, this file is much to large (7.7 MB) for Google Maps to parse, so it’s represented as a static image. I used the command line tool gpsbabel to merge 35+ tracks together. Check out my blog post about this tool here. –> https://blog.benmook.com/185/

Florida
I’m still in Florida, which is nice because I always felt like I should spend more time here. Â Some friends from LA flew out here and we traveled around and saw things I would never normally do, like check out an alligator farm, or look at the Coral Castle. Â I’ve also pulled my old rusty car from storage and put it back together somewhat. Â here are a bunch of photos.

Colorado Springs to the middle of Kansas
I took off pretty early in the morning from the Springs, I thought it was going to rain all day, but I stayed dry. Â I ended up next to a dam, by a lake where I found a beer coozie on the beach and free wireless internet provided by the “rural phone company”. Â I almost dropped the bike on a muddy farm road, and almost buried the rear wheel trying to turn around. Â That would have sucked. Â Here are some photos for the day.

I stayed the night on the side of the freeway. Â I didn’t sleep well, but I did learn about this guy who pioneered the Oregon Trail. Â I’ll try and add to this post more about him, but I don’t know when that will be.
