Hello there,

After the first 6 years when they grow an inch annually, Joshua trees will only grow a 1/2 inch per year, making this bad boy over 200. The lady in the national park asked my twice when I told her I did not need a bag for my post card. Happy Earth day buddy.
True to form my ‘16km hike’, on a trail that you ‘can’t miss’ ended up being a tad longer. Niki and I hiked from the Mojave side, where all the joshua trees are spread out like an orchard in the tilted desert, through/ over the dividing mountain range, to the side with the saguaro cactus.
People wonder what I am planning.

So bookmark this, say hello to Howie and the spokepost.com one for…

I go an e-mail today, asking me if I am still around Vegas. No, that’s so 6 weeks ago. After Vegas, where I committed to 2-person RAAM 2007 I picked the Archbiker up at the airport, and slept, and started training & fund-raising for RAAM. I think this took up 3 weeks. Training started with Big Hank’s birthday ride, where he had me on the ropes for an hour.

Tour of Big Trees and Big Rocks.

Why no Pictures you ask?

Well I host my pictures on the same server as FloydLandis.com and I crashed it a few months ago. Though Floyd is back, all my picture links remain broken. There is talk of having a professional fix them…

I had a girl tell me today that she thinks I am really cute. This is nice, and always makes me happy. I wasn’t prepared for the next twist though. (more…)

So.. Well my 6 week ‘marathon’ work schedule has officially ended, and there is one more house on the market. In our time, we replaced every floor, re-painted every wall and ceiling, as well as replacing all the countertops with Travertine/ Marble, (more…)

6 weeks of 4h/ day work eventually got Classens house looking “bitchen’”

Drove to Victoria with Rid-Share person who is a documentary film maker. The plans are laid for ‘Nat- the Documentary’ (more…)

Well I though that at last I should close the book on the Central America tour, and take you out with some photos of the last leg of the trip…

I am BACK. I forgot how hooked I am on this… Which is good because I have 5 bikes here. YES FIVE. And I logistically I cannot leave until I sell at least 3 of them. I will most likely leave via KHS bicycle pulling a BOB trailer north towards General Sherman, Frisco, and Oregon.

So my last few days in Panama where good. Saturday I spent feeling not so well, with sore holes in my mouth, and spitting up blood. I did some shopping, checked out girls, and spent some City Time. The Lacoste Alligator shirts here cost 15X what they did in Guatemala, though it is possible that they weren’t genuine… (more…)
