After a three week trip followed by three weeks of following the Tour de France
intently (see the stage previews I put together here , the preview of L'Alpe d'Huez
is particularly good), I've finally had time to upload, catalog, caption and publish a photo album
for my trip across California, Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Utah, Nevada and (a little part of) Arizona.
I camped seven out of the 10 days starting from the day I left my grandparents to go to Lassen and it was a fantastic trip beyond all my hopes. I'll have my journal up in the next week or so to fill in the details the pictures don't allude to. In the meantime, enjoy!

 I've finished the nuts and bolts of bringing interactive (somewhat) Google maps to Motoescapism (Motogooglescapemaps). Using various plugins and tools from several magnificent developers, I've created an area that allows me to publish customized maps with place markers and routing. You can find the Map Room
under the Galleries menu item above. The first map is now live in there; it is a preview map of the route I'm going to take on my western US sport touring ride
in the upcoming weeks. The idea being that for each of my journals, I'll now be able to supplement it with a map that will include the more interesting places I went with placemarkers all laid out. The only thing I'm still struggling with is how an opened placemarker is getting formatted. That's all CSS junk and wizardry that in the intervening months since I last really did this sort of work, has atrophied considerably. I'll fix it when I get back... from Montana!!!!!!

Good News Everyone... over in the Moto Journals
section, I've completed a five page journal of my 2005 Thanksgiving Week ride through six national parks. It was my first ride over 1,000 miles in length and was quite an adventurous and physically trying experience. I've also uploaded a photo album of that sport touring ride
for you to have a look through. For some reason the photos aren't quite up to the digital quality I like, I think there was an export problem, so I'll try to fix those over the coming weeks. The parks I road through were Zion National Park , Bryce Canyon National Park , Cedar Breaks National Monument , Yosemite National Park , Kings Canyon National Park and Sequoia National Park and Monument. I also spent a day crossing the state of Nevada
with interesting results. If you look at the animated area on the front page, as of today, a lot of those pictures are from this tour, so you can imagine it was one helluva ride.

I've added titles and captions to the Yosemite '07 tour photo album. You'll get some idea of how the trip went. I admit it's not quite the same as a full fledged trip write up, like the Morro Bay Tour , but I'm getting there, I'm getting there. It's taking me a while to remember how to add things, edit things, link, add photos, etc. so the going is a little slow for now. Hell it's a miracle I even remembered the passwords and ID's to log into the site.
I do have to say I'm very pleased with the resilience of the Motoescapism site. Everything is exactly where I left it and nothing is, seemingly, overtly broken. That bodes well for adding more stuff now that I'm of a mind to do so.

I've allowed this site to sit fallow for far too long, so I'm committing to updating the site in some fashion, some way, at least once a month with new content. The idea of not having posted anything here in nearly a year isn't exactly what I was after when I spent many, many hours putting this together last May, so, despite the fact that all my web site skills have atrophied, I'm going to start putting new stories, journals, photo albums and panoramics up as soon as I can do it without embarassing myself.
So there you have it, watch this space, new content coming soon. That's a promise.
