Thank you for joining me and if there’s one piece of advice I can offer in an increasingly busy lifestyle it’s: simplify - GET ON A BIKE.</p>http://onegraham.tumblr.com/post/8739871361http://onegraham.tumblr.com/post/8739871361Wed, 10 Aug 2011 12:49:48 -0500where ya goin' next? great photo journal. loved going through all the pics. 1999 i took a 7-week motorcycle trip alone throughout the usa. slept in a one person tent in various state parks, some of which were deserted. not the same being on a motorcycle, however. --rose<p>That’s awesome! I’d love to hear more about that experience. Motorized or not, life is best experienced on 2 wheels. This I know to be true.</p> <p>Next trip is fall 2012, around harvest time. I’d like to ride from Vancouver to San Diego. Just think of all the wine country. Everyone is invited, even if it’s just for a portion, or the day! Spread the word. Planning begins next summer.</p>http://onegraham.tumblr.com/post/8963859107http://onegraham.tumblr.com/post/8963859107Wed, 10 Aug 2011 12:47:00 -0500A much needed respite.<iframe src="//www.tumblr.com/video/onegraham/8739634976/400" id="tumblr_video_iframe_8739634976" class="tumblr_video_iframe" width="400" height="300" style="display:block;background-color:transparent;overflow:hidden;" allowTransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>A much needed respite.</p>http://onegraham.tumblr.com/post/8739634976http://onegraham.tumblr.com/post/8739634976Wed, 10 Aug 2011 12:42:59 -0500Nostalgic souvenirs.<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lpq3qlr9Kl1qjojqpo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Nostalgic souvenirs.</p>http://onegraham.tumblr.com/post/8739523153http://onegraham.tumblr.com/post/8739523153Wed, 10 Aug 2011 12:39:56 -0500The Diablo Roja is part of the private bus network that services...<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lpq3o2xXsK1qjojqpo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>The Diablo Roja is part of the private bus network that services Panama City.
