Hello family and friends! Wow! If you have not kept up with the Inspired Journey on Facebook then a lot has happened that you don't know about! *Important* You DO NOT need a Facebook account or have to be a member of Facebook to view the content that I have posted there on my public page. There is a lot of writing content, pictures and even a few videos there. Please go visit, it would mean a lot to me! Even without keeping up on the website I have put in considerable time and effort to share my experience on Facebook. Thank you!!
I have been unable to keep up the website blogs. I'm sorry! The Journey has been so demanding and internet speeds have been so slow down south across the border that using the website platform is just to slow and challenging. Thus I have done my best to utilize Facebook where upload and posting speeds are possible with the amount of time I have off the bike and internet speeds I'm working with. I don't know if I saw any speeds even close to 1Mbps per second, mostly just kbps speeds(if that means anything to you) and that makes it really challenging and frustrating to utilize the website platform. I have taken very few layover days since I started this whole shebang almost a year ago and sitting around next to some pool, with good Wi-Fi and a day off to do a bunch of blogging has not happened, not even once!!
Here's the trip details: I have now ridden just over 30,000 miles total with 23,750 of those being on the KTM 690 through the Fall/Winter/Spring leg on approximately 60% dirt roads through 14 countries! Sweeeeet!! It has been an indescribably wonderful and challenging experience and I am beyond grateful to be fortunate enough to be one of the few who will get to participate in an adventure like this! I recently flew home from Uruguay where I am storing the bike to continue next winter since I was unable to complete the southern portion of my trip right now. It's winter and freezing in the southern hemisphere right now!
So, I have just started the next leg of the Inspired Journey where we are back on the Suzuki V-Strom and going big! Real big! Hoping to make it to the top of Alaska, across Canada to Newfoundland, down through the east coast for a fall leaf tour, down to Florida and then back across the USA to Arizona where I will do some work to recover the wallet before flying south again! Holy Moly! Just writing this down for you makes that sound even nuts/amazing to me! Well, Let's do it!
Now that you know you can keep up with me on Facebook, please do so. I am so thankful to all of you who signed up for the Adventure Blog. It means the world to me! It really does and there will be more content to come at some point through this Blog. I think my writing days are far from over and now that I'm back in the lands where I can use my phone as a mobile hot spot who knows what content might come about.
Thanks again and lots of fun summer love from your adventure pal Jason!!!

11,000+ square kilometers of salt flats on the famous Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia. Epic! I camped out in the middle of this sucker and rode 78 miles to get across it to my exit. Amazing Place!
Happy! Real Happy! This picture is at 15,000 feet in Peru's famous Huascaran National Park. One of the most incredible experiences of my life.!
