Awesome Mountains

A blog for my Chicago adventures.
New York, NY Exploration.
I work for a global ad agency/ well a digital ad agency essentially and I love it. I am allowed all kinds of awesome opportunities to travel and conceptualize and execute, for all these awesome clients that I have always dreamed of working on. Anyways, this time around I was sent to New York, NY to help with some work on some things. The company I work for is housed in the Hearst Tower, which is right next to Central Park and all kinds of amazing things in midtown New York. When I wasn’t comping things up till 1am I was allowed to have my own time and explore.
When you tell someone like me that I can just go explore then you better believe that I will do nothing short of that. SO these pictures that I posted above are all from my exploration of the city. This was one of my favorites times visiting New York, and I look forward to visiting it again more and more and more. I will have to send out a special thanks to my friend Graeme Fouste for giving me a place to stay the first night and taking me around with him to all the social events he was attending. Good times and a good person! So thanks Graeme!
In the mean time enjoy the photos and comment below if your bored and want to start a conversation! I would love to hear from you!
Falling in love with Chicago all over again.
After my trip on my motorcycle across a big chuck of the country I was really quite relieved when I saw the city skyline in the distance while approaching on my motorcycle. With that said it seems from the moment I got back I have been non-stop doing and seeing things and it has all helped create a new found love for Chicago once again. This city is pretty awesome and has so many things to do and I have been playing the tourist role again for about a week and it has been really nice.
I feel it is always a good thing to remind yourself of where you live and find all the beauty in its location. Having my motorcycle in the city has presented a whole new set of challenges but also a whole new perspective of the city. Being able to travel where I want at a much quicker rate has changed my life here. It has been nothing but pleasant.
Anyways with all these things I have taken some pretty cool pictures of the city and saw some new views of the skyline that took my breathe away. Looks like I will be in Chicago for another year and then at that point we will see what presents itself and where I will end up next. in the mean time enjoy the photos and videos I attached to the post.
Motorcycle Trip | Destination
All in all I had a great adventure and miss it already! Being back at work isn't bad by any means but I sure do miss the open road! Must start planning for my next adventure! In the mean time here are some photos that I would like to share!
Motorcycle Trip | Chicago Pride
So after all three days of riding my motorcycle from Columbia, SC to Chicago,IL I finally arrived last night at around 7pm way earlier than expected, showered ate and passed out! So today was beautiful and that doesn't happen that often and the Chicago Pride festival was happening so we decide to ride our bikes down to hang and see the parade! What a way to be put back in the city. Chicago has so many things going on at once. Anyways was pretty cool and crazy so here is a video of a piece of it. Please excuse the curse word, it was pretty crazy all around and a bit overwhelming hahaha!

Motorcycle Trip | Tennessee, Kentucky, and Cincinnati
So today was really awesome! What a great trip. Very different from day one, but so awesome in it's own way. Wasn't much of a fan of Knoxville, TN but Kentucky especilly Lexington, KY had some beautiful land. Almost instantly, as soon as you cross into the state your in a huge canyon river type area! And as you progress the stereo typical Kansas images from T.V. and movies comes to life. It's really an awesome site. Cincinnati is a pretty cool city as well so all in all pretty epic ride, here are some photos! Enjoy!
Motorcycle Trip | Panos
So I took a billion pictures in this trip and here are some of them that I wanted to quickly share with you all. I have so many so I am sure there will be more posted later on but for now enjoy. Today I start my trip more north with a end destination of Cincinnati! Heres to it!
Motorcycle Trip | Blue Ridge Parkway 2
I reached the highest point on the Blue Ridge Parkway and it was kinda crazy! Fog and oddly colder than I expected. Thankfully my father always plans ahead for everything and is the voice of reason and gaveme some gloves and a jacket in preperation. My advice is even in the heat of summer it seems like it may be colder than you expect up that high in elavtaion. I was at about 6,500 ft.
