5/29 – Magnolia Tree
When my family lived here, I was waiting to be tall enough to reach the lowest branch of this tree. Still denied. (Unrelated, boy, I really botched the layout on this drawing…but at least I got to try a cool new pen brush, thanks Brian!) ...
Penland with the Gratz family, Asheville, and I’m Running Away to Join the Circus, May 20-23, 2014.
In this issue, our heroine lands herself in a minor case of urban shock after a weeklong immersion in the mountain life. Also, FIRE. And gypsies. In a way....
5/28 – No Scooting
Mike went above and beyond, picking me up so I could hang out with other scooterists from the Terminal Scooter Club at Midway. Also, hi Vintagemetal from ADV! ...
5/27 – Starlight Drive-In

5/25 – Scootering Around Atlanta
51 miles all over the city, with Mike and Derek! ...
5/24 – Three S’s

Rode to the end of the Parkway and...
Skyline Drive, Dogwood Scooter Rally, and the Blue Ridge Parkway, May 17-20, 2014.
GPS is a bit squirrely when I forget to turn it back on after staying still for a while, but actually this captured most of my routes! Also, I have a bazillion photos of sharp blue skies, fluffy white clouds, distant blue mountains, and lush green valleys – geez,...
