About this blog

Hey -

This blog is about my travels from New York to Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost point of South America, by motorcycle. By way of Seattle. And then probably going somewhere else, because I don't think they have international flights from there. How's that for a plan?

Why, you ask? Well, if it isn't obvious, then probably no amount of explaining will help. But that doesn't mean you can't enjoy the trip as well.

- Andy
