Striking the right balance between what you want and what you need is tough, ad we are trying to go as bare bones as we can. Not only for the sake of gas mileage, but keeping track of extra stuff you never end up using is no fun. Anyhow, some photos of us n the bikes before we leave are coming, so stay tuned!

Welcome to the blog!
Hello world!
Stef and Justin here, checking in on our brand new, shiny and informative blog. This is all about our trip around the US and Canada on a pair of motorcycles, hence the adventure on four wheels.
As we travel we will give you tales of crazy drivers, awesome sights, ministry, food and whatever else happens to float across our brains. Now you can live vicariously through us, so when we get a flat tire in the middle of Highway 50 in Nevada, you can laugh about it while we sweat.
Check out the subscription buttons on the upper right hand side of the page. There is an RSS button for the techno-geeks, and simple email subscriptions for folks who think that RSS is actually code for "something I don't understand".
Feel free to comment on each post, as it is open for anyone to do. Most of all, enjoy!
