Ride to Glen Innes
It was late May this year and Lucy was off visiting friends and family in the US. I decided it would be good to take a 7-hour day trip to Glen Innes and back on a loop of scenic countryside.

We fell in love with this beautiful country and its people, sold our home in California, and bought a home near Coffs Harbour in July of 2018. I'm actually a dual citizen, Australian by...

In the process we have met a number of people, learned many things, and continue to discover things that surprise us and lead to more quest...
