ROB'S RUCKUS ROADTRIP

On 5/11/15  I set out on the adventure of a lifetime, riding my 49cc scooter from Colorado to Alaska on the backroads of North America. Along the way I'll be sharing my story of recovery from drugs and alcohol, and raising funds to help students in recovery.

FOLLOW ALONG AS I GO!

Today I woke up from my first night of camping out on the road, it took me close to 2 hours to get my gear all packed up and back on the scooter. Mind you, I ate 6 oatmeal packets and made sure to enjoy every raisin they had to offer. Stuffing my -20 degree rated sleeping bag in its sack isn't an easy task either, needless to say I need to work at getting more efficient at this whole packing up and hitting the road dealio! As I was rushing to pack up, it was raining in every direction all around me, and I only got hit by ONE drop of rain. Thanks Todd & Tony for looking out!

As I scootered along I came across this guy, Dave who has been riding his bike and living on the road for the past 7 months! I chatted it up with him about different nomad tips as the police stopped to ask if we were alright, no need to run from the cops this time ;) 

As I got into Vernal, Ut I knew that the schools were too busy for me to talk to so I decided to give the juvenile detention center a shot. I walked in and talked to the director and she was kind enough to allow me to share my story with some kids there. There were two kids in particular that I was able to connect with, sharing our stories about how we had tried to stop smoking and drinking but there was never really an excuse big enough to turn down a chance to get high with our friends. Exhausted after being on the scooter for 6 hours, that was all I needed to get me back on cloud nine! Tonight I am balling out, I'm at a KOA campground sleeping on lush grass with stars sparkling overhead and geeking out on the laptop,  'not exactly roughing it' ;) haha
