Hello fello Ténéristi,

A little midwinter ride report to get you through January. Back in July, I took an eight-day, 2,400 mile moto-camping adventure from domestic, suburban southwestern Connecticut up to the wild and wooly Gaspé peninsula in Quebec. All on my trusty 2013 SuperT.



Besides being the longest solo trip I've taken yet, it was also an exercise in having this idiot confront some persistent fears, including a probably irrational thing about, well, camping and bears.



I lapped the entire Gaspé peninsula...



Camping along the way.



And I created a little "log" of my trip.



(It's actually not so little, but it's not as dense as that woodpile, either.)

You can check it out here on my moto-blog: Alone, Stinking, and Trying to Be Unafraid.

Hope you enjoy the write and the ride!

Thank you Steve and JJTJ2. Had fun riding and writing it.

Unless you’re a cop, best not to shine a flashlight into a camper’s face in middle of the night or you’re definitely gonna earn that monicker!

You are a fantastic Wordsmith. This was a great read with my morning coffee and motivated me to get out and do some late January riding. Don't hesitate to add links from your other adventures. Thank you for sharing.

Why so kind of you to say Mr. MonkeyBut. Enjoyed reliving I’m the trip in writing it down almost as much as I enjoyed actually riding it.
It was around 50 in these parts today so hope you had equally mild riding weather. Will post other S10 adventures as I have them. Kinda got the arctic circle itch...

So I gotta ask, who is Liebe? Since you used it and based on what you said your heritage is I assume you know what it means. My reason for asking? I have a GSD named Liebe.

That’s too funny. Liebe is my wife. It’s not her real name but a pet name, obviously “love” in German...I picked it up as my mom is from there. Hope your Liebe is as lovely and loyal as mine!
