Our destiny regarding the next couple of years had just reshaped itself by staying at the Ironhorse Motorcycle Lodge. During our extended stay, we decided that travelling in North America was a lot of fun and we wanted more! The decision to start a tour business began with a need to have a semi-permanent roof over our heads. Hence we initially acquired an RV or motorhome on Ebay. It was not difficult to find a range of motorhomes to replace our concept 'Yellow ...

We made it to North Carolina (NC) from Newfoundland in good time. But it was not without difficulties and determination. The weather continued to plague us for much of the ride and Dell's health issues made riding under abhorent conditions at times very challenging for her. After leaving Gros Morne in Newfoundland we were expecting to wait for 4 days before a ferry booking was available. This was due to bad weather with the usual back-up, the beginning of the n...

Preparing for the ride to Fairbanks two days later was the same dilmemna facing us every day. Wet weather gear, warm and insulated or comfortable and risky. Dell went for the motorcycle jeans and I opted for the heavy duty pants. Initially it showered, then it stopped, then it started again but the temperature was definitely improving and I eventually lost out as I got hot and had to shed some underwear. We stopped at Skinney Dick's Bar before Fairbanks as so...
