Plans change again
The plan was to travel further East but the Ferry schedule betweeh North Sidney and Port Aux Vasques is not reliable. It wold take me at least four days of waiting even with reservations. That would ruin my plans to visit my brother in Ecuador. So I decided to cancel my plans going East and instead head south ahead of schedule. I'll be in Ecuador for a few days visiting my brother and eating some of the tradtional foods!!
Planes cambian nuevamente
El plan era viajar mas al Este pero el horario del vote entre North Sidney y Port Aux Vasques no es confiable. Me tomaria por lo menos cuatro dias de espera aun con reservaciones. Eso arruinaria mis planes para visitar a mi hermano en el Ecuador. Entonces decidi cancelar mis planes de ir al Este y envez ir al sur adelantado. Estare en el Ecuador por unos pocos dias visitando a mi hermano y comiendo algunas de las comidas tradicionales!!

Oshkosh welcomes me with a war plane!!
This is the video about the story I was telling you about. I drove by the plane just a few seconds after it landed. It was surreal. Here is the video of the actual landing filmed by a State Trooper...
Oshkosh me da la bienvenida con un avion de guerra!!
Este es el video de la historia que les estaba contando. Maneje cerca de este avion solo unos cuandos segundos despues de haber aterrizado. Fue irreal. Aui esta el video del aterrizaje actual tomado por un policia estatal...

OSHKOSH - The Biggest Air Show on Earth
I was so desperate to get to Oshkosh that the show actually came to meet me, 20 miles before getting there. One of the war planes from the show had to do an emergency landing right on the road (Hwy 41 N.) I was using. Although the plane managed to land on a busy road with lots of electric cables going across it, the pilot dodged the cables and landed safely! No one was hurt. Too bad the cops didn't let us stop for a picture... Anyway, here are a few of the pictures from the actual air show. I’ll post comments about these pictures later.
OSHKOSH - El show aereo mas grande del planeta
Estaba tan desesperado de llegar a Oshkosh que mas bien el show vino a mi, 20 millas antes de llegar alla. Uno de los aviones de guerra del show tuvo que hacer un aterrizaje de emergencia justo ahi en la autopista(Hwy 41 N.) que yo estaba usando. Aunque el avion aterizo en una carretera muy ocupada, con muchos cables electricos atravezandola, el piloto evito los cable y aterizo bien! Nadie salio herido. Que pena que los policias no nos dejaron parar para tomar fotos... De todas maneras, aqui estan algunas fotos del show.
A nice guy I met at the show. He is now retired and enjoys flying his homebuilt KR-2 with a Wolkswagen engine.
The sun was hitting hard so I had to create some shade by placing the motorcycle cover between the motorcycle and the tent. That was the only way to get a cool breeze.

That was the only way to get a cool breeze.Estaba haciendo un sol muy fuerte y tuve que crear una sombra colocando el covertor de la motocicleta desde la moto hasta la carpa. Esa era la unica manera de obtener una brisa fria.

This is one of my favorite airplanes; it's the Zenith CH701. It's an airplane in the Light Sport Aircraft(LSA) category.

Boomer on a Beemer
Yeah, I know. What's a stuffed bear doing traveling with a grown up man? This is actually, Boomer, a nice Brown Bear I got during my bike trip to Alaska in 2006. I got Boomer for my nephew Kevin Gonzalez. I dedided to take Boomer with me to the East Coast on the bike and later give it to Kevin as a special momento. Kevin is already eight years old so I hope he still likes this type of gift :-)
Since I left Denver, I've traveled with Boomer for 1,500 miles. It does create smiles but he also creates a little problem; everyone is tailgating me to see Boomer up close. I have to reduce my speed drastically, or accelerate, to avoid having those cars too close to me. If this continues I guess I'll have to transport Boomer on a black trashbag. The power of cuteness...

Change of Plans
Well, after a last-minute change in my brother's schedule, I've decided to first go to the East Coast and then go to Ecuador to pay a visit to my brother and his family.
