Snow in early October


On my way to the ECC lab to get my lab write worked on, and I got this at UNR near the engineering building. Pretty good snow storm for the beginning of October. Sign of a good ski season I hope. By the way, the ski resort webcam page on my site is down. Still working on getting things updated and working in expression web. Probably won't happen until later possibly winter break.

Road trip?


For some reason lately I've had this idea of riding my motorcycle across the country. I was thinking I could load up the bike with camping gear and just hit campsites the whole way. It'd be rough, and I'd probably be tired of it after 3 or 4 days, but what better way to see the country? The SV650S leaves much to be desired for storage, so I'd have to test and see if I could even fit everything.
I mapped out a potential course just to see how far and how long it might take. Here's a map. Assuming I could average at least 363 miles a day I could do the whole thing in 3 weeks. Maybe that's reasonable I'm not really sure. It seems like a daunting task, but I'm sure it would be quite the adventure.
