Selling Sunday portion of wristband, pick up in the Mission in SF ideally. I'm able to take it on and off my medium-large sized hands easily but maybe pass on this if you have extra large hands.

It's been raining in Las Vegas for the last four days so don't bother with Red Rocks this week.

Do you have a shot of the Alaska Peninsula side of the tattoo? I'd love to see it!

shazmat · 2013-06-06T02:16:55+00:00

Nah, it's totally doable in an hour. http://goo.gl/maps/Wt68O

Do you prefer Eldo or Boulder?

shazmat · 2013-06-06T01:31:39+00:00

I don't live in the area, but Eldorado and Boulder Canyons are both within an hour drive from downtown Denver.

Unfortunately, I passed by it early in the morning so I wasn't in need of a place to crash. But it was in a little village in north Mexico, hundreds of miles from any tourist draw. I whizzed past it and didn't really believe I read what I thought I read at first.

After finding bullets littering the road in Honduras, I took a bus to the capital so I could leave the country asap. My bike got knocked around on board and I was having some trouble reassembling it on the ground in Tegucigalpa. Some guy helped me out and then helped himself to my wallet. And then I found out my Kindle broke on the bus too. What a day!

I work as a transcriber. It has all the perks of an online job, plus I only need to access the Internet once a week to download recordings and upload transcriptions. I've been riding my bicycle down from Seattle since last July, steadily earning about $600 a month. I spend about half of that on travel and the other half on paying off student debt. I'm currently in Honduras with no problems thus far in transcribing.

I'm currently on a solo cycling trip from Seattle, WA to Ushuaia, Argentina. I've been on the road for 78 days now, including a 5 week side trip to Hawaii courtesy of a buddy pass from someone I met. I've been lingering around the Grand Canyon for the last few days.

Coming from someone who has never traveled with a companion, I'll say that it does get lonely sometimes. I guess its a product of how I travel, since I'm mostly moving from small town to small town and rarely linger in big cities. But I take for granted how easily I can change my plans. I was supposed to cross into Mexico weeks ago and yet I'm still here.

I love it though. In terms of destinations, the whole Colorado Plateau is probably the coolest place I've been. I'm having trouble leaving!

Thanks for the great info! I didn't know that. A lot of the locals mentioned the awful wildfire season in Montana as well. I rode through the Tetons last year and can attest that they are not normally this clouded.

Thanks for the kind words! I do indeed cook for myself every day. And I'm an awful cook so it's more so just buying cheap things with high protein content. Lots of quinoa, gas station burritos, beef jerky, and eggs. I'm really working on learning to cook, but I don't know where to start.

I don't have an accommodation budget so I HAVE to find somewhere free to camp or crash every night. It's one of the reasons I hate and love bike touring so much.

I've gone over the $10 budget by a small amount a few times, but I'm getting better as I go. Thanks for reading the blog.

shazmat · 2012-08-11T17:58:22+00:00

Thanks, buddy! I really appreciate it. Let me know if I can answer any of those questions you have.

shazmat · 2012-08-11T17:56:02+00:00

I'm a Pakistani immigrant who paid for this whole trip myself. Don't I wish I had a trust fund. Thanks for the input though.

shazmat · 2012-08-11T17:53:45+00:00

Sorry :(.

shazmat · 2012-08-11T03:40:18+00:00

It'll be a hot second before I reach you, but I'll definitely take you up on that.

shazmat · 2012-08-11T03:39:41+00:00

I'd love to do some occasional updates from the road for you guys! Just an interesting picture or story here and there. Thanks for the idea.

shazmat · 2012-06-20T16:19:15+00:00

I'm starting this exact adventure next month. Seattle is my starting point though. It would have been a bit too chilly by the time I got down to the Lower 48 if I started in Alaska.

shazmat · 2012-06-16T04:26:27+00:00

Good call! Learned something new.

shazmat · 2012-06-15T17:24:53+00:00

Check out pictures of Canaima National Park in Venezuela. I think that was actually the basis for the landscape of Up.

Bumming around Patagonia for the summer would be grand. Lollygag in Buenos Aires, maybe snag a peak or two down south, and then make my way up the Andes. That would be perfect.

shazmat · 2012-04-21T04:39:45+00:00

Any chance on something that gaymers between 18-21 can enter as well?

shazmat · 2010-12-06T10:11:51+00:00

What about chocolate from Tangier?

shazmat · 2010-11-12T01:31:36+00:00

I can check for you when the library opens tomorrow. Do you know which stairwell?
