The garage door cranked open as the engine warmed and I stared out at the black emptiness beyond - the whole of the trip was out there, waiting in the darkness. I pulled on the helmet as my daughter waved goodbye. “When will you come home"? “I’ll be back before the last leaf falls”. For almost eight weeks and 8500 miles, I’d be immersed in American history, geography and culture, following Lewis and Clark to the Pacific, George Custer along Rosebud Creek to the Little Bighorn, exploring the northern lands and working my way to the western sea.
