Grateful.

By Jordan On 10 May, 2012 · 2 Comments · In Travel

As I sit here reply­ing to mes­sages and prepar­ing my list of activ­i­ties (chores) for the day, I came across this video I’d sent to a friend in Octo­ber. It struck a chord with me then, and even more now as I look over a grove of trees through which the sun is shin­ing and […]

A special passenger..

By Jordan On 25 April, 2012 · 4 Comments · In General Announcements, Motorcycle, Travel

A friend of mine posted on her face­book page yes­ter­day:
“Voted, Taxes in, Mom picked up at air­port … I play ‘Adult’ well.”

Upon read­ing that, my first thought was.. “Oh, crap!  I’ve been gal­li­vant­ing long enough that I didn’t vote in the elec­tion, the accoun­tant had to remind me that my taxes were […]

Day… I’ve lost track — Lexington KY.

By Jordan On 23 April, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In General Announcements, Motorcycle, Travel

So some­where in the mid­dle of my last post, I actu­ally manged to sneak a trip in to see my buddy Abi in Lex­ing­ton KY which, as it turns out is only about three hours away from Knoxville..  I hopped on to Thirsty­Girl and headed across the state line to catch Abi for sup­per..  As […]

Day 10, et al — Nashville to Knoxville area..

By Jordan On 3 April, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Travel

Last night in Nashville was a bit of a bust, and frankly kind of a downer.. I made the deci­sion to splurge a bit and stay down­town, but by the time I got show­ered and a load of laun­dry fin­ished, pretty much every­thing was shut down, and there was very lit­tle to do but drink. […]

Day 9 — High Knob Campground to Nashville TN

By Jordan On 2 April, 2012 · 2 Comments · In Food, Motorcycle, Travel

So, a lit­tle re-cap-over-lap:   Upon Smoky Joe’s rec­om­men­da­tion, I’d trav­eled down in to the Shawnee National For­est to head up to High Knob to watch the sun­set.   As I cruised through the wind­ing for­est road, I was struck by the sheer beauty of the tree lined tar­mac. After hav­ing trav­eled through thou­sands of Kilo­me­ters of […]

Day 8 — Wentzville to High Knob in Shawnee National Forest

By Jordan On 1 April, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Food, Motorcycle, Travel

After a few great days with John and Kate, I hopped back on the bike to get mov­ing south again..  The weather has been incred­i­bly warm, and this after­noon when I left was no excep­tion. I did bun­dle up in my rid­ing jacket but jeans would have to suf­fice..  By after­noon, I was down to […]

Day 7 — Wentzville

By Jordan On 31 March, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Travel

So, noth­ing much to report for today. John and I made a trip to Rural King for sup­plies and made a dis­cov­ery.. It used to be that you couldn’t buy Robert­son screws here in the States. […]

Day 6 — St. Louis

By Jordan On 30 March, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Motorcycle, Travel

If you’ve already read yesterday’s post, you may want to go back and read it again, I’ve added a few pho­tos from the ride down.

Today I spent the day in St. Louis with John and Kate to go take a ride up inside the arch.…

You read that right: INSIDE!!! How cool […]

Day 4 — Aberdeen to Omaha

By Jordan On 29 March, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Motorcycle, Travel

Today,
Another late start.. Could. Not. Wake. UP! Dunno why, but I had a heck of a time get­ting out of bed despite a really rea­son­able sleep. I think the wind just beat me that badly the day before..

Not much in the way of news to report, more cool weather today […]

  • About Jordan


    Jor­dan Cartwright is… Well, um, a lot of things. Most of them are even good.

    I’m cur­rently con­tin­u­ally seek­ing a def­i­n­i­tion for myself that inspires, enlight­ens and enriches the lives of oth­ers. This is long-term work in progress.

    Jobs I’ve held run from bus­boy to bar­tender, com­puter guy to direc­tional driller, pho­tog­ra­pher and tour guide too.. Rarely do I ever iden­tify myself by a job title though.

    Over the past ten or twelve years, I’ve trav­eled through some 34 coun­tries and always rel­ish the oppor­tu­nity to do things that are out of the ordi­nary.

    On this site, you’ll find mus­ings about pho­tog­ra­phy, the oil and gas indus­try, travel, robot­ics, elec­tron­ics, and social respon­si­bil­ity among other bits of my life.
