Nakusp 2012

I was able to attend the Horizons Unlimited Canwest 2012 Travelers Meeting in Nakusp last weekend. It was a weekend of amazing travel stories, photos, meeting new friends and seeing a lot of old ones. This is one of my favourite weekend get together.

Highlights were:

  • Acting as MC for 210 of my best motorcycling friends. Apparently they did not realize how nervous I was standing up there talking to them.
  • Doing a tire repair course with Grant Johnson, founder of Horizons Unlimited and one of my motorcycling heroes.
  • Riding some of the best roads in BC, possibly Canada !
  • Watching Tom Mamic’s presentation on Africa. I gotta go and see it for myself.
  • Presenting my Road Side Repair seminar to a huge crowd who seemed to really enjoy it.
Here are some photos of the weekend http://photoshare.shaw.ca/view/11854287720-1346368234-56740/

If you are a motorcycle traveler and have not gone to a Horizons Unlimited event I encourage you to go. If you have not traveled to the Kootenay area of British Colombia, go, go now. Put the computer away and head off to Nelson, Kaslo, Nuskusp area. You will not regret it.

Cheers
