2019, the year in pictures. Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year to you and yours!  May the year 2020 bring you happiness and joy, good health and good times, and in all things an enjoyment of life.

Here's the regular compilation of pictures, taken in 2019, for your enjoyment:


Got 10 gallons of water from the visitor center:


Rode Yagi to the end of Brown Canyon Road, seeking the trailhead for Baboquivari...not sure I found it but did find a trailhead.



The year's last sunset turned out pretty good:

 Shot from inside the URRV, while window still had rain drops 
from the light rain that had just stopped

 Rain drops in the atmosphere caused the above effect, unusual





Motorcycle mileages, yep, they continue the downward trend of past year.

Total mileage ridden in 2019: 4453 miles broken down by motorcycle:

Scarlett:  Ending odometer reading 65,081 61,056.  4025 Km or 2415 Miles

Yagi: started with 7500 when I bought her and brought her home,  ended the year with 9463.  1963 Miles or 3140 Km

RV Stats:

We went glamping with Umarang, the URRV, for 143 days (39% of the year),

Looking back (for you as well I'm sure) it looks like a happy old year, good review. Hope to share a few miles with you again in 2020.
Happy New Year to you, the Gang Gang and your followers.

Your compilation video of the landscapes and scenes you've witnessed is outstanding. Your photography is strong with compositions sensitive to the landscape, machine and light. Well done Dom! Each time I see one of these videos I say to myself, "I wish I could do that."

Yagi seems a perfect addition to your riding demeanor. At least what I divine from the photographs.

Hope you and your family have a fine, healthy and happy 2020. Time is flying. And so many miles yet to go...

Thanks very much Steve, I appreciate your feedback very much and it’s driven me to expand into new areas to my benefit. Yagi is indeed a complimentary steed ....


Happy New Year and miles of safe riding for you, Kim and yours.

Very nice video summary. Bridget pointed out that she’s now “Internet famous” since she’s in your video...

redlegsrides said...

Thanks RichardM, but I fear Bridget’s Internet fame isn’t as widespread as she might think. :)

Another year of fantastic photos, super job! Love the video.

How is it going carrying Yagi upfront? Any regrets?

Happy New Year to you and yours.

Thanks CCjon, so far so good re the front hitch carrier....it wobbles a tiny bit when semi trailers blow by me on the highway but otherwise Okay.
