| Aug 05 2012: Tattooed in Vancouver! "The blue heron feathers are a style mash-up.

| Jul 29 2012: The Road to Banff We hit it at just the right time, as the sun was low in the horizon.

| Jul 26 2012: Recovering in Calgary On the weekend, we all visited a rodeo in nearby Rockyford, about an hour east of Calgary. We had missed Stampede by about a couple of weeks, but Rockyford's rodeo billed itself as the "biggest little show in Alberta".

| Jul 23 2012: Ouch in Saskatchewan The motorcycle starts to weave left and right, as the front wheel moves side-to-side, each oscillation getting worse in amplitude. Logically, I know what needs to be done: I need to relax my grip on the handlebars, grip the bike with my knees, and roll off the throttle slowly. But my natural instincts kick in and I do none of that. In fact, I do the exact opposite...

| Jul 15 2012: Goodbye, Ontario! Instead, we're now riding Hwy 129 north from Thessalon. It's often called Ontario's Tail of the Dragon, because Tennessee 129 shares the same number.

| Jun 28 2012: Bay of Fun-Day These bizarre rock formations called flowerpot rocks, are created by the erosion of the twice-daily tides. The larger heads of the rocks are the parts untouched by the high tide. During low tide, it is possible to walk on the sea-floor and between the flowerpot rocks.
