About this blog

Hi All!

Welcome to the blog for my motorcycle trip to South America. Starting next month I will be leaving Chicago for an extended trip, first to Upstate New York and then south, waaaay south. My Dad and I are riding our motorcycles all the way to Ushuaia, Argentina and back . . . at least thats the vague plan. Who knows what will actually happen between now and then? Whatever happens, though, It will certainly be an adventure and if you'd like to hear about the latest (mis)adventures of mine, this is the blog for you!
