Finally sitting in a cyber cafe after two weeks on the road and posting. I’ll try to fill in some details. We just arrived in Banff, Canada this morning and easily found a nice campsite a few miles out of town. A rain shower while we were setting up our campsite. Except for yesterday [...] 1100m road climb. Mostly singletrack down. What we did early this week, see François’s blog. (Note that the writer’s native language is French and written while on a trip). We enjoyed their company. To complement and/or update the information in the Lonely Planet and Rough Guides for West Africa, I’ve together some notes. Partly for us since we plan to return next year and for other travels who plan to go. I’ll update the links here as I do the pages. UPDATE: We had the 2002 edition [...] Thanks Armando for this photo: I’ve also posted photographs at keeptherubbersidedown.com/photoGallery/T2M2006/. Conakry, Guinea-Kendia-Mamou-Dalaba-Labé-Télimélé (and return)-Mali(ville)-Koundara-Salémata, Senegal-Bandafassi-Kédougou-Saraya-Koundamé, Mali—Kéniéba—Bafoulabé—Kita—Bamako.

In addition to the cattle crossing: Ségou, Mopti, Timbuctu (Tombouctou), and the Dogon on the Bandiagara [...] Yesterday, the Fourth of July, I purchased a bike for the trip. I was reluctant to take my current mountain bike for two main reason—not wanting to set it up for touring (and back again when I get home) and fear of losing it somewhere on the trip. I’ve been watching Craig’s list for [...] The adventures of JPB. I didn’t want to take my only mountain bike on the trip and also didn’t want to change it for the trip and have to change it back when I returned. So I found this ’92 or so Trek on Craigslist in almost perfect condition. I hate to bang up [...] Rich has been promoting the Telluride to Moab Hut to Hut mountain bike ride. Approx. 200 miles on mostly fire roads . San Juan Hut Systems has huts with stocked food and bunks for $68 per night. Can we self support. We have molunteers, what’s the access. Glancing at Google suggested looking a 4×4 [...] Louisa and I are thinking about going to Four Corners. Mogollon Rim, Mesa Verde, Sand Dunes NP, Susan in Taos, Janet and Patrick in Telluride if they’re going to be there. Bisti coordinates entered. |
