I still look back with regret at photos I let go by because I didn't stop, so I remind myself it's okay to stop if I want. And yes, I carry a netbook - at the end of each day I enjoy making notes, writing a blog post, looking back and ahead at the map. A tip I was given by a friend was to highlight my map route in colour. Each year I pick up a new 'planning' map from CAA and in my map bag I carry colored highlighters. It doesn't hurt that Garmin Dan has a great route memory as well, and that I can tag my photos with GPS coordinates.VStar Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634216576989421497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1394161184343172403.post-21170372236043688832014-01-23T20:53:04.866-05:002014-01-23T20:53:04.866-05:00thanks for another great write up! After reading ...thanks for another great write up! After reading I realize that I really need to better chronicle my trips, even if they are much shorter than yours [so far!] Your 2013 trip went through a few places I rode to in 2012. I went through Salem and out onto Cape Cod [camped in Truro, dined in Providence] But while reminiscing about mine while reading yours, I couldnt remember my route! I recall camping in Newport --- playground of the rich --- then pushing onto Cape Cod the following morning. I then worked my way north following the ocean past Plymouth Rock then up to Salem so it seems we did a similar route in the opposite direction. I recall passing by a huge oceanfront beach area --- the kind you see in movies --- that was jam packed and the boulevard traffic was very slow. Dang it if I can remember where exactly it was, but I seem to think it was between Plymouth and Salem. And, haha, I too made a wrong lane change in Boston and ended up at Logan! I managed to get out a little faster than you did though. <br />I'm curious as to how you keep track so well? On ADVRiders I saw a tip to sit down with a notepad/laptop at the end of each day while everything is still fresh in mind. I guess you must do something similar? I'd start a blog myself but I think it would be extremely boring unless I changed my mindset. See, I don't stop to "smell the roses", or even to eat really. I tend to camp off by myself so I can get up early and leave without disturbing anyone next door. Thus, I dont meet many interesting people as you do. My "big meal" of the day is a breakfast after a couple hours of riding. That would be a pretty boring write up I think! hahak rowland shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16064189881978967634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1394161184343172403.post-54604350018255436672013-08-05T21:48:15.286-04:002013-08-05T21:48:15.286-04:00Gotta watch out for those small town folk!Gotta watch out for those small town folk!VStar Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634216576989421497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1394161184343172403.post-58025702021037408312013-08-05T21:45:54.594-04:002013-08-05T21:45:54.594-04:00Only in Canada ...
