The Mother Ship
At 3am this morning the annoying musical alarm interrupted my deep dreams. Ever have a moment like this? What day is it? What am I suppose to be doing? Ok...reality creeps in. Need to get up. This is not a dream. Catching a flight today to visit the Mother Ship in Milwaukee.
Two flights and seven hours later the dream becomes a reality. Standing at the exact location where Harley-Davidson had it's humble beginnings. It is the Mother Ship of the motorcycle world. Met the team from HOG Magazine. Incredible people. Dedicated, sincere, brothers and sisters each one. A classic Sportster stands proudly ready. Strap on my bag, hit the switch, roll on the throttle, rumble of the pipes...nothing feels like a Harley.
Headed to St. Ingance, MI in the morning to ride US HWY 2, the Great Northern, west across this beautiful country of ours to the Pacific Ocean and Seattle. Stay tuned. This is what American is all about.
BTW: They really do know how to brew great beer in Milwaukee.

Valley of Dreams - Greater Chaco Landscape
The Greater Chaco Landscape contains vast expanses of incredible eroded rock formations of every color and form, ancient fossil forests, and complete dinosaur skeletons. Most of these areas are Public Lands managed by the BLM. Some are protected as wilderness areas; others are virtually open to future oil and gas industrialization. The Valley of Dreams is presently not classified for protection by the BLM.

Valley of Dreams is one of the most stunning landscapes I have ever worked in. It is a very special place. How long these areas will remain as they are is an unknown. Oil and gas industrialization has increased 400 percent in the last decade in the Greater Chaco Landscape. Click here to see and experience this Greater Chaco Landscape Sacred Site.

Chaco Sacred Sites
Technology is wonderful...other times I wonder. Sometimes the Grandfathers simply like to have some fun with me. That actually puts a smile on my face. I know they are there. The link I posted to view the Chaco Sacred Sites video may...or may not...have worked. Tonight it is working. At least at this time. Let me know if you have a problem. Thank you for taking a moment to view the video.

Sacred Sites Greater Chaco Landscape
Energy exploration and development are currently permitted on and adjacent to Sacred Sites located in the Greater Chaco Landscape managed by the Bureau of Land Management. Oil production in the Chaco Landscape has increased 400 percent in the last decade. The oil and gas industrialization has erased the history and identity of many cultural resources. On March 28, 2019 the BLM sold another 10,000 acres of undetermined cultural value in Greater Chaco. The BLM is not meeting its legal due diligence prior to leasing these areas.
Last week we documented some adjacent sites which are currently managed by BLM in the Greater Chaco Landscape. These sites are untouched at this time. Once an area is disturbed, it cannot be replaced. Mitigation does not work. These Sacred Sites could be leased for oil and gas at a future date if not protected.
Honor it. It is Sacred. It needs to be permanently protected for the Pueblo People and America.
