I'm Back home from Washington where I've been working for the past 3 months. It is so nice to be home and I have been busy catching up on all the things that fall behind while I'm gone. But I want to get back to work and get some money saved up for a really long vacation. I am going to be riding my bike a lot and will be posting up video shortly.

I flew to Tennessee for my brother Dan's wedding and had a great time, it went very smooth and I go to visit with family while I was there. We went and visited my Grandpa's grave, saw my mom's new house,and got to see a town that had been covered by a reservior(Willow Grove).I really enjoyed visiting but have now realized that I don't think I could ever live there. It is beautiful but the weather

Just returned from washington. Went for work on the 2nd and got back yesterday. We worked on a processing plant(I can't say which one for trade secret purposes) and this was my first job with the local sheet metal worker's unon. Next I'll be headed to Las Vegas for work on a casino. should last about 5 years.

Well I made the purchase, a Magellan eXplorist 500 GPSr unit. I am getting really excited to try it out and attempt my first go at Geocaching. Geocaching is basically a worldwide GPS based treasure hunt. Someone hides a "Cache", logs the GPS coordinates and then posts it on the Geocaching.com website. I then look it up, enter the coordinates in my GPS and go hunting. It sounds like a lot of fun

Wayne standing with the bikesWent riding with wayne on saturday. We had a blast and got into some really rough country. The area we went was close to where his family homesteaded in the late 1800's. The country is beautiful and massive. While we were out we ran into only one person, an old farmer/rancher who was on his rounds filling water troughs for his cattle. He was a nice old guy and I could

Ahhh... I can't wait to start work. I will probably be going to Spokane, WA. area for work until something comes available here in the valley. It will be a nice change of pace for me. I haven't had any real time away from everything/everyone in awhile. On another note, I really want to go riding but the weather here has not been very forgiving. I plan to go dirt biking on saturday and will post

I'm not feeling too good today. It is very unfortunate because I was scheduled to go dirt biking with some friends from Hartman. We have gone every weekend for the last three weeks and had a blast! Last weekend Tucker M. went with us, he just got a new kx500 and was haulin' ass everywhere. We came up this 30-40 ft hill and after reaching the top he decided to drop back down and hit it a little

My Name is David BarnesThis blog will be kept to share my adventures and experiences in everyday life. I love riding motorcycles of any kind, on or off-road. I will mostly be posting pictures and comments about rides and out of the ordinary everyday life stuff. Hopefully soon I will be able to get a GPS and actually map out the routes I take on my adventures. All comments are welcome just please
