Pain, Curiosity and a Bear off to see...whatever.
The hardest part of any long, overland trip is deciding to go. Not deciding that you want to go, that's pretty easy. But actually picking a day, announcing it to all your friends and family, giving your cushy job and no longer having an address? That is much harder.
The decision, for me, was made after a very bad week at work. I was a Critical Care Paramedic for a private company in Milwaukee. Now, before you start to day dream about what a bad week for a paramedic might be, no external bleeding was involved. In fact, unlike a lot of my co-workers, I've always been bored by trauma. Not much you can do, really, in an ambulance. Part of my job, though, involved hospice transport. Wisconsin has some touchy rules about keeping people alive in ambulances, and people on hospice would rather be left alone when it comes to that stuff. As a paramedic it is a lot easier for me to let that happen, legally speaking.
So, I had this one week with three of these transports. It was pure luck of the draw, nothing personal. There were probably half a dozen more that I wasn't involved in. These three, though, were all my age or thereabouts. One, a couple years older, had managed what most of us dream about. Retired in his late thirties with a massive bankroll after his company was bought out. Nice home, nice wife, they bought a huge (I saw it, it was massive) RV and planned to just tour the country. Time together to make up for all the vacations missed while he made his company worth buying.
They never left. He was diagnosed with cancer and now, six months later he was in a drug induced coma, seeming little more than a skeleton and going home to die. The wife, who was as heartbroken as anyone I had ever seen, wasn't sure what she was going to do next. I couldn't give her advice, I wouldn't know either.
And it wasn't like I walked out of the house and decided to go, but going was something that I always wanted to do. I've read Jupiter's Travels and Zen, and seen the Long Way X movies, Terra Circa and Mondo Enduro, and read ride reports of people in far away places dreaming of going there myself. And, yeah, I was getting older but I enjoyed my job, my house, my life. Why leave?
After leaving that house, with the massive RV carefully concealed by what was probably a custom made weather cover something inside me changed. I was suddenly aware that putting off something for someday was running the risk of never doing it, and I really wanted to go and see some of those places myself. So, one night while staring at a map on the wall, I decided I really didn't need any of the stuff I had around me as much as I needed to go.
And then I freaked out, slowly but progressively, over the next two years while I arranged to get rid of almost everything and limit myself to a motorcycle and it's luggage for at least one year, but probably two. More, if I could manage it, but at least that.
Of course, a long motorcycle journey needs a motorcycle. I chose a 1981 Yamaha SR250, the street model of Yamaha's XT250 of the same era. Why a thirty year old street bike? Well, it was cheap. Lets just say the bike and all the prep work (cables, tires, chain and sprockets) was under 500. Maybe way under. Also the bike was as simple as it gets, one cylinder, one carb and chain drive. And light, under 300lbs wet. Of course, all these things exist in those dirt and dual sporty bikes, but the street bike will manage interstate speeds even loaded, which I thought might be occasionally helpful either in the USA (I'm in the Midwest, there is a lot of the USA to cover) or other long, boring stretches.
I have a tendency to name my motorcycles, usually depressing names (goes with Pain, after all), but a good friend suggested something a little more up-beat for this bike, so Curiosity.
To be honest, Curiosity wasn't my first choice. I own a Ural Patrol, which I had meant to bring on the trip. In April, before I left, I took the Ural (named Despair) to the Overland Expo. The low fuel economy (28mpg) was topped off by some odd transmission issues as I was headed home. I decided, only a few months before leaving and after having spent the winter getting Despair ready to go, to switch bikes.
So, back up a few more months, to October. A friend, with her two kids, came to town for trick or treating. I know a place in Milwaukee that does Halloween like most places wishes they did Christmas. Since there were kids, they went to the mall, to Build a Bear, and I decided to get my friend a bear (ended up being a bunny) as a Thanks for the help present...and then I decided to get myself one too. I thought I would bring him along and take pictures of the bear in various famous locations, like people do with gnomes. And, since I was bringing a sidecar I could never fill with my usual gear, space was a non-issue.
So, Blue (a limited edition Star Wars bear)
(He dressed up for this pic. He was more casual when we were on the road)
Blue was insanely popular everywhere we went, even before the trip started. And, I am personally amused to admit, we we left he had more changes of clothes than I did. That didn't last.
Lastly, we needed a plan. A vague plan, with lots of wiggle room to go and do other stuff as it took my fancy. So, I would leave in late June (the 21st was settled on later), head for my oldest and best friend's place in NE Georgia, to hang out a few days (she has a boyfriend who gets very uncomfortable when I visit. Had one I mean, they split up again after I left), then return to Wisconsin for the 4th of July with other friends, finally leaving with the M2M ride a week later.
From there I would head for the Badlands, to spend a few days hiking, then Northish to Glacier and then Canada and Alaska. Then back down the Pacific coast to the end of Baja, over to Mainland Mexico, and then south until I reached Ushuaia. After that I would head back up the Atlantic coast to Buenos Ares and then Brazil and Rio, and then decide where to go next.

It is very important, before moving into a motorcycle from a two bedroom flat, to take a couple of test road trips to make sure you have what you need, and don't have what you don't need. I have been taking road trips of at least a month every year for the last 2 or 3 years, so I have some idea of what to pack, but it is psychologically different when you aren't going home afterward. Also, all my other long trips had been with one of my trusty XS1100s (which I had decided were too heavy and complicated for this trip) and the smaller SR didn't have the same carrying capacity.
I had taken several day trips with the bike to get an idea of how far I would want to ride and at what pace, but decided to take a long weekend ride, with two nights camping. Looking at a map I decided to ride over to Austin MN. I had never been there, but had wanted to go for a while. Why go to Austin? The Spam Museum.
I packed up the bike as if I was going to be on the road for more than a weekend, but I didn't back a computer, spare parts, or my backpack. This would cause issues when I did my final pack before I left but I didn't even think about it at the time.
The gas can and water bottle had to come off, sadly.
I headed west in the general direction of Minnesota, taking a bit of a side trip to Wildcat Mountain (one of the twistier areas of Wisconsin)
before heading for the Mighty Mississippi.
Once in Minnesota I wandered around some more. I hadn't every just poked around in this corner of the state, and there were some pretty spots
before looking for somewhere to camp. There was a Mystery Cave state park, but attempts to find it using only paper maps didn't work out. There was a road on the map that I just couldn't find in the real world, though I found a place a road might have been at some point in the past. I looped back to a private campground I had seen. I had it mostly to myself but the people who were there assured me there weren't usually that many mosquitoes.
The next morning I was up, stunningly early (when I sleep in a real bed, not a tent, I think a good time to get up is around 11, or noon maybe. In a tent I am usually up before 8 and okay with it) I packed up and headed for Austin.
The early start meant I was there before the place even opened, so across the street for breakfast.
After my morning Spam I headed over to the museum to learn about what I just ate. If you haven't been, and aren't immediately repulsed by meat in a can, then you should stop by if you are in the area. Admission is free and I got a lot of samples (but I was there on a Saturday).
Leaving the museum the weather started to turn against me (figures) as I rode back towards the river. I was planning on crossing a little further north, and going to my girlfriends house for a few days after the weekend ride.
I found an old school house as the rain started, warm and falling straight down.
After riding a little more I took shelter at a gas station, buying some lunch from the hot case while I watched the rain get heavier. At least my sleeping bag was in a kayak bag and would stay dry.
While eating a skewer with kielbasa and onions an RV rolled in with a classic car on the trailer.
They were headed for a campground in Southern Wisconsin, where RV would be parked and the car used to get around for a week. I asked if there was a car show involved, but the owner said no, he just liked using the classic car.
Eventually I headed back out, finding a state park to camp, glad I ate something warm since cooking seemed too much of a chore.
It was still cloudy in the morning as I packed my wet tent and continued to my girlfriend's house. She made dinner.
I was happy with the pace, content that I wasn't going to go crazy not doing 90mph or 700 miles a day. All the rest of my gear I had owned for years and wasn't worried about it. I was a little concerned about the total available space. And, like many riders I wanted somewhere to put stickers, which the soft bags didn't offer. I would have to consider a hard sided option

Test Trip #2
Like many riders, I have a thing about stickers. I want to be able to cover my bike with stickers of the places I have been. With the soft luggage that really didn't seem like it would work, so I was always trying to think about hard luggage choices.
Curiosity already had vetter racks installed, since Yamaha had a tendency to put the rear turn signals right where you would want your throw-over saddle bags to go, and for a while I had them on, along with the stock truck option.
Those particular bags are off my XS1100. Naturally I would have to find red ones. But the vetter bags worried me, since they were plastic. I have crashed plenty on my XS11 (not having a car & riding year round, not to mention the off roading, will do that) and the cases were pretty beat up. They hadn't ever really broken, but if they did I doubted I could fix them on the road. So I wanted metal ones. Worse, steel (With can be welded just about anywhere in the world)
Okay, so I wasn't thinking all that clearly. I admit it, lets move on.
I already had couple of large ammo boxes, and with a few trips to home depot I had them installed on the sides of the bike. Then I packed them to see how it would all fit. The boxes were much larger than my regular bags, so naturally I found more stuff to cram in, and on, and so on.
My next test trip was longer, and I managed to make my bike look like this
I headed south west, planning to spend a week or more on the bike, wandering around. I was still not using the Eisenhower, so there were a lot of cool places to take pictures.
Entering Iowa I saw signs for the motorcycle museum and rolled in to see it. Even though I have been to Barber and Wheels through Time (twice) I have never actually gone to The National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa.
I admit it doesn't look like much on the outside. That is dedicated motorcycle parking, though, which is nice.
Inside is better.
I got back on the road, following 151, which was larger than I really wanted but it felt good to be making some miles. Curiosity was definitely heavier than I have ever felt, but could still manage 60mph without pinning the throttle, at least in Iowa.
I noticed a slight wobble starting a looked down to see what was going on. Then I quickly found somewhere to pull over.
Some of the home depot brackets had failed, letting the left box bounce and pull the rack sideways, twisting it and bouncing as I rode along, which caused the wobble I felt.
I twisted everything back into place
added some safety wire
Then used straps to re-secure everything.
At this point I probably could have carried on, but I decided instead I really needed to re-think my whole luggage plan, and headed back to my house. I did think about using the Vetter cases, but never seriously and from here on in soft luggage was the plan.

Time to Go
Time to Go.
I had decided to leave on June 21st. Not because it was the solstice, but just so I had time to go the NE Georgia for a few days, and be back in Milwaukee around the 3rd of July, when the city has it's fireworks.
So, Monday the 20th, I rented a U-Haul and convinced a couple of friends to help me move what was left of my belongings into a storage locker I had rented over the weekend.
Blue put the truck on his card. Bear has cred.
Putting the Ural in first would turn out to be a mistake, but who knew?
There were others helping me besides the bear. Enough others that what I had thought would take most of the day was done before lunch. The truck was returned and I turned my attention to packing the bike. One of the friends stayed to help with this, and as a result my kit was messed up and confusingly packed. I also had 'useful' things tucked into the bags when I wasn't looking. Oh, you need this spatula. And this box of handi-wipes. That sort of thing. After the bike was loaded (with way more stuff than I had planned, but some of it I wouldn't find for until late the next day) and in the garage I did a final cleaning of the apartment, set up a little camp in the living room, and called it a night.
This luggage arrangement wouldn't even make it a mile from my house.
I took the interstate through Chicago and Gary, getting into Indiana, planning on staying on it all the way to Kentucky. Yes, my little bike loaded with all that stuff was able to go on the freeway, it still managed over 70mph actually. I admit to being impressed, though I also didn't go that fast most of the time. I had a long way to go and didn't want to break anything on day one.
The big result of the interstate ride was, unsurprisingly, no pictures.
I stopped short of a large storm in the middle of the state, and given the wind was blowing over signs and knocking out power, opted for a hotel. I had found out during the day before I hadn't updated the maps on my GPS (an old streetpilot 2610), so that was on the agenda for the morning.
Blue helped, of course.
Back on the road early I got through Indy and then headed for Corbin. I have passed Corbin countless times without stopping, but this time wanted to go and see
this place.
Of course, I ate there too. It wasn't really all that impressive, just a KFC. I guess that is what I should have been expecting.
Wandering generally south and east I found somewhere to camp just as the rain started. I got my tent up and crawled in before it developed into anything serious.
I am not quite as under that tree as this makes it look, but given the lightning show later it was perhaps not the best choice. Knoxville had some power outages from this storm too, and I was starting to sense a theme for this part of my trip.
The next day we rolled into the Smokey Mountain National Park, and had to get a few pictures even though I have been there a dozen times (first time for Blue, though.)
Apparently neither of us could be bothered to look at the camera.
On the other side of the Smokey's we got onto smaller roads, stopping in little towns when we saw something interesting.
Zoltar was for sale in an antique mart. 8 large.
Finally I got to Hartwell, where my friend lives. Despite goofing off all day I was there before she was done work, so I got some dinner at the local BBQ
Oh, sweet bless'd sweet tea.
Then enjoyed the sunset.
After which my friend came out and said people were worried I was a homeless person looking for somewhere on the street to sleep, and made me come inside.

I took what seems like an amazing amount of pictures, so many pictures that every time I start to sort through them I give up. But I still missed stuff, and there were places I couldn't go 30 feet without wanting to stop and take more. Almost everywhere is just awesome. Almost.

I could bore you with all the stuff I did, hanging out with my friend, but I will skip most of it. You probably had to be there anyway.
Here's my friend, showing me all the bits she has recently broken off her ninja-bike by taking it off-road.
Of course, she had to meet Blue
And by some strange, wonderful coincidence, the town she lives in does all their Fourth of July stuff a week early. So there were parties and fireworks and grilling and squirrels.
To the best of my knowledge I didn't eat any squirrel, but I also didn't ask about it. If I did it certainly wasn't going to be the worst thing I had to eat on the road.
Eventually I had to get back on the road to get back to Milwaukee in time for it's fireworks, which are on the 3rd (I really like fireworks). I also didn't want to just rush back, but planned to wander around some. I didn't have a real plan, other than heading generally more west, then north through Illinois the long way. I know that sucks, but it was the same vague route I took on my first multi-day motorcycle ride (in reverse) and I hadn't gone that way since.
I realized, going through my pictures, that I didn't have one with the Smokey Mountain NP sign, so I headed there first.
I had also seen a brochure for the Titanic Museum in Pigeon Forge. It's shaped like the ship, so I had to go and look at it. I am not a fan of the Titanic or anything. The last movie was simply awful. But this was certainly an oddity and I thought it might be interesting.
It isn't the whole just, just the first half. Still, pretty cool. I took the tour (AIR CONDITIONING!!) but they had draconian no-pictures policies and even Blue couldn't talk them into it. Apparently it has the largest collection of Titanic artifacts in the world, and the owner was the second person to arrange dives on the wreck. Coincidence?
Back on the road I headed out of Pigeon Forge (Simple because of the 28 lane highway they have) and made my way west. It was getting late in the day and I found a state park to camp in.
I like city, county and state parks (in that order) since they tend to be less expensive than private parks, but with all the stuff you might want (like showers, grills, food nearby, etc). They are also usually empty.
Cumberland Falls Resort State Park wasn't empty, but it was nearly so and I got to pick a site.
Eat some dinner
And get a good night sleep.
The next morning I was up, early, packed and ready for go before 8. One of the things I had learned was the park contained Cumberland Falls (not as obvious as you would think, given how many parks have the word falls and don't have anything of the sort), considered The Niagra of the South. So this was something I had to see.
I was there early
a few minutes after 8, and nothing opened until 9. So Blue and I the place to ourselves.
The falls themselves were...cool...but not that impressive.
Blue and I spent a little time watching them. Rushing water has a strange soothing effect, which is odd since being trapped in rushing water isn't very soothing at all.
And we learned the one thing that is Cumberland Falls claim to fame, being one of two places in the world were you can see a moonbow
the other being Victoria Falls. I was no where near the right time, and it was cloudy anyway. And day time.
I was getting ready to leave as the first few staffers arrived to open up the little gift shop and a museum with local history stuff. I thought about staying a little longer to see what was inside but passed. There were other things I wanted to see more.

Mammoth Cave
I have wanted to go to Mammoth Cave for a couple of years, but it just hadn't worked out. Either it was too far off the ride plan or the people I was riding with weren't interested (or were more interested in other things, and there was a time limit).
This time I was alone, and I had all the time I needed. So, I headed into the park. There was no fee to enter, but the tours cost money. And you had to take a tour, or all you saw was the visitor center. Interesting, but not why I was there.
Signing up for the tour I ran into my first real problem of the trip. Or Blue did, anyway. He usually rides in my backpack (which also has my wallet, camera, passport, and everything else of value), but backpacks weren't allowed in the cave. I pulled Blue out, and asked if I was allowed to bring him in, without the backpack. This caused successive calls to older and older looking park rangers until one said no. Apparently nothing was allowed into the cave which might contain something dangerous. I thought about calling bullshit, but didn't. It's a new world of paranoia.
So, Blue, and the backpack, had to stay outside. Oddly, this was something I really hadn't planned for, having locks for the helmet and jacket, and the jacket pockets being empty. In the end I got everything locked up and Blue had to go into a locker, poor guy. He took it in stride, though.
With that all out of the way I got some water, since the tour was two hours and we weren't supposed to bring anything in, then waited for my tour group.
You will notice backpacks and (maybe, I don't know if I got them in the pic) water bottles. The ranger with his back to me is the one who said no to Blue, but he didn't say anything to the others. I think if I had just shown up with him instead of asking nothing would have happened, and I did learn from this.
Mammoth is the longest cave system in the world, and has been a fixture in the local culture as far back as records go. Craved from limestone, it has been a food storage area, saltpepper mine (used in black powder) and bootlegger hangout. It became a National Park in 1941.
Inside it was dark.
This was my first time in a cave with my new camera, just a Canon Elph I got because it was small. It took me a while to work out the right settings for caves, so the pictures got better as the tour went on.
For years before the cave was a NP people would come on private tours, and often write their names on the walls or ceiling. They would also break off pieces of the cave to take home with them. The breaking off of pieces ended with the cave was made a National Park, and the name writing stopped not long after.
Surprised no one has made them take that sign down.
As the tour went on I lagged further behind. I thought the group was large, but apparently the tour was only half full. The rangers said the slowest part of the group was near the front, the back had to walk faster. I didn't really want to walk faster, and didn't want a bunch of people in all my pictures. So, I was at the back and going 'at my own pace,' which caused the ranger at the back of the group to try and hurry me along. I countered by asking where the cool pictures where, since if she told me I wouldn't have to take time looking for them. After that we just chatted and ignored the rest of the group. She was surprised Blue hadn't been let in, since other stuffed toys had been, but wouldn't go so far as to call the senior ranger an ass.
Once out of the cave I had to walk through a spongy bath. Mammoth apparently has a fungal infection killing it's bats and this was supposed to keep it from spreading.
Out of the cave I rescued Blue from his metal box, got a couple postcards, drank a couple bottles of water, and hit the road again. I had spent a fair amount of time at Mammoth and it wasn't long before I was looking for a campground, finding a State Park in Indiana that was empty.
Hot showers too.
The rest of the ride north was pleasant, lots of green.
I enjoyed grilling out and fireworks, did some maintenance,
(Two thousand mile valve adjustments don't seem like that big of a deal when you read it) then headed back to Milwaukee for the M2M.

Product Q & A
Ask your questions and share your answers.
Upper or Lower
With three bikes I presume that I will be using the full length of the rack.
Now do I buy an extra upper or lower backet? There does not appear to be any indication of which to buy.
Will this fit the other Topeak bike stand?
Will the lower & upper bracket fit the other Topeak TwoUp TuneUp Bike Stand?
anyway, how much will it cost for the set? 1 stand with 2 brackets.
Thus the ceiling needs to be able to hold that force. If your shed roof is strong enough it will do the job, but consider the risk of it (the roof) buckling.
However, I would not recommend attempting to fit this to a standard garden shed I am afraid as the mount requires a flat ceiling.
2 adult and 1 child bike - upper or lower bracket?
Topeak Bike stand
This is bracket only?
And if its just the bracket only, where can i get the stand because it is not listed.
It is however not available for despatch to Australia due to its size.
bike stand itself is not available anymore?

Jan. 23, 2013
During his final season coaching Gopher cross country and track, many local and national organizations are honoring Gary Wilson for his dedication to his sports. Recently, the University of Minnesota's M Club and the Minnesota Distance Running Association (MDRA) both recognized the long-time Gopher coach.
The M Club inducted Wilson and presented him with a letter jacket and pin at the Jack Johnson Classic this past weekend. The M Club is made up of people who have earned a letter playing a sport for the Gophers, as well as honorary recipients including coaches.
The MDRA presented Wilson with the Lanin Award for Distinguished Service at its annual party this past weekend. The honor recognizes excellence and longstanding service to the Minnesota running community. The MDRA exists to promote safe, healthy participation in running. It provides training programs as well as the RunMinnesota magazine.

Adam Driver to play Darth Vader-like villain in new Star Wars films
Unless you live under a rock, you know that a new film in the Star Wars franchise is in the works. What we know now is that the script for the new film is complete. It remains unclear exactly which actors from the original trilogy will be involved. Mark Hamill said last month that his return in the franchise was undecided.

I very much enjoyed my stay. The house was as described, well equipped and clean, if a bit run down. I enjoyed having a washer and dryer as well as WI FI.

We loved the property, it was beautiful in the snow! Half of the resort lost power and electricity, the property manager kept us informed of the status and was very helpful! The fireplace is great, added a very nice touch to the house. The house is much larger than we expected and all of the appliances were great and in good working condition. Couches and beds were super comfortable. The house was very clean and very comfortable. Cannot wait to go back!
Had a great time. The house was nicely kept with plenty of space. Great location
House was in excellent condition and very clean. Lots of personal touches. Hearing system was excellent, kitchen is full of supplies, and rooms are spacious and comfy. In a great location at Massanutten. Additionally, Frank was very easy and flexible to work with. We look forward to returning soon! Highly recommend.
The house was perfect. It accommodated 11 of us plus a dog well. We were all able to sit at the table. The kitchen was large and had all the quality tools and pans I have at home.
The house was warm, comfortable and most important clean. We even met the neighbors. It felt like home.
I highly recommend this house. If there is one negative it is that the open house plan means no conversations are private. It also means it is easy to separate and still interact.
It was very nice, plenty of room, the house has just about everything you need in the kitchen. Everyone Enjoyed our stay..

Quick Cinnamon Rolls - No Yeast
Total Time
Prep 30 mins
Cook 20 mins
These wonderful cinnamon rolls are on the table in an hour - no waiting for hours or overnight. They are simple and quick to put together.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 cups flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3⁄4 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup brown sugar or 1 cup white sugar
- 3 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1⁄2 cup powdered sugar
- 1⁄4 cup milk
- For the filling, in a small bowl combine softened butter, brown sugar and cinnamon to form a crumbly mixture.
- Sprinkle 1/2 of the mixture over the bottom of a 9x9 pan.
- In a large bowl mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in softened butter (sometimes your hands are the best tools).
- Stir in milk to form a soft dough.
- Roll out dough on a lightly floured into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Spread the remaining filling on the rolled out dough.
- Roll up the rectangle, with a sharp knife slice into 18 small rolls (12 if you want them a little bigger).
- Bake for 20-25 min at 400°F.
- For glaze, combine powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl and stir until smooth.
- Once rolls are finished, drizzle on glaze and serve warm.
Most Helpful
Just made these for a late evening wintry snack! Read all reviews first, so made these corrections: added one egg to the dough, cut the baking powder back to 3 teaspoons. Also used bread flour instead of all purpose flour for a bit more "poof". Before I sprinkled the rolled out dough with the sugar & cinnamon mixture, I spread butter on the dough. May have been a mistake for the baking part of it, but not for the taste! They were VERY bubbly while baking, and wound up spilling over in the oven. Still, very good and easy! Love them!!!
I just made these buns today...it was a new thing to put the filling on the bottom as well as inside...but, I tried it, and it was good.
I did not get the amount of buns from my roll as the author did...I got ten small ones in a square metal pan.
I decided not to use the icing...I thot it would be too sweet and for me, it would have been.
I used wholewheat flour and brown sugar for everything.
I cannot understand putting an egg in the recipe...have not heard of this be4, and I am glad the author did not do that.
When I took the pan to the butcher board, I put a plate on top and then flipped the thing over, so that the sugar mix on the bottom of the pan was seen on the buns.
It covered the whole bun with brown sugar mix, so you could not see the coil; but, I liked it that way better, it looked prettier.
The magic was in the tasting...they looked liked cinnamon buns I have made in the past...very simple w/o yeast, but, after the second biteinto it, I was hooked!
The flavor is perfect, the salt with the sweet...all you need is a big slather of hard butter and it's feasting time.
I could not just have one...
These are really good...not fancy...but, they taste great...a different version of the cinnamon bun, which the store sells you, that you pull apart...I guess it has it's place, but, these are fine for me.
I have printed out the recipe and thankyou to the author of them.
It was plenty sweet enough w/o icing, and I had run out of icing sugar, anyways.
Next time I make these, I will try Indian White Flour bread, which is part wholewheat and I cut them wider so they are bigger buns to munch on.
Last of all, I found the dough very pliable, soft and fairly co-operative.
Kudos to the Author.
Vancouver, Canada.
This recipe is absolutely amazing! These are the best cinnamon rolls I've ever had. Here are a few changes that I made (and no that doesn't diminish the recipe it's just using sense folks.)
1. add an egg to recipe
2. don't confuse baking soda with baking powder :0)
3. add a TON more powdered sugar to glaze recipe
4. use a lot of flour when rolling out so it doesn't stick to rolling board when you're trying to roll up the dough.
(number 1 and arguably number 3 are corrections I think should be made to the recipe)
(numbers 2-4 are just common sense folks)

This is a very nice campground. Located on the edge of town and walking distance to downtown. Also, a paved bike path runs right next to the park entrance. The interior roads and sites are gravel, but level and in good condition. Lots of space between the sites, lots of grass and many with shade. Very well groomed and in great condition. A new section is now open and this has a new bathroom and shower facility. WiFi signal was strong. Very quiet and safe. We did hear the train that is about 1 mile away, but didn't bother us (in fact i kind of like the sound of a train in the night). We would stay here again. - skate

This campground is undergoing a lot of improvements, including a campground bath house that is brand new and very nice. It was unbelievably quiet, resulting in a great night's sleep. We drove through a number of other campgrounds in the area; none compare to Big River Resort. It is a great launching point for many attractions, including Lark Toys, Pearl Button Antiques, and all the beauty that Wabasha has to offer. The campground hosts were very friendly and helpful, giving us maps and coupons good for many of the local businesses. We will definitely return. - Glory Bee

This is a lovely landscaped hotel parking lot. The sites are paved, level and long back-in sites. When we went there the city was tearing up the roads. There was no real road in or out. We drove down the unpaved road to enter the RV park. When we left, we had to exit via a paved bike path, not more than a wide sidewalk really and drive over the corner of a private homeowner's lawn. Not fun in a 35' RV. A bigger RV with toad came through as well, so it's doable, but not fun. The facilities are very clean. Nice laundry. Good Wi-Fi. Lots of TV stations. Walking distance to the quaint town of Wabasha. We enjoyed the farmer's market. I thought the owner should have been more clear about the condition of the roads when we called before arriving. We are ambivalent about returning. If the roadwork was finished maybe. If not, no way. - Joann26

This is a large, private campground with over 200 sites, many of which are seasonal. The sites are grassy and shaded. Each site has a fire ring and picnic table. They aren't very wide so we were close to our neighbors. The restrooms were not maintained. The men room had a paper towel jam all day until we notified the owner. He fixed the paper towels, but still the restroom went without soap for over 24 hours. The floors were muddy and did not get mopped all weekend. There was a campground employee mowing the lawn on Sunday morning for about an hour, which was quite noisy. The owner left the office for a couple of hours on Saturday afternoon, leaving a group of four kids, about age 12, in charge behind the desk. Unfortunately the kids did not know much about running the campground and weren't able to answer any of our questions. - Juniper94

Kona Magic Sands is nestled between Magic Sands (La'Aloa) beach and Pahoehoe Beach Park. The unit was fully gutted and remodeled in June 2011.
As you open the front door and step inside the unit, you realize how clean and modern the unit is. You walk to the glass wall and open the doors to the lanai. You step outside and hear the ocean, you see the waves and the colorful fish swimming...maybe you see a few turtles swimming next to some snorkelers. You look at the 180 degrees of ocean at your feet and you realize that this is why you rented this unit. You sit outside at the dining table or enjoy a cold drink at the bar table/chairs as you watch the sunset with camera in hand. The palm trees dance with the tradewinds and you decide to sleep with the lanai doors open and screen doors closed so that you can hear the ocean.
The next morning, you grind your Kona coffee and brew a fresh pot and enjoy another day in paradise. You spot more colorful fish, sea turtles, dolphins, and in the winter, humpback whales; you might decide to get to see them up close and go snorkel/swim at the beach next door.
For dinner and after a day of sighseeing, you grill your dinner on the gas BBQ while you take a dip in the pool. You may choose to eat on the dining tables under the pavillion. At night, the quiet central air conditionner and stainless steel modern ceiling fans keep you cool. The updated kitchen with the granite countertops and stainless steel appliances help you create great frozen drinks or delicious dinners. Dimmable track lighting and under cabinet lights set the mood for an enjoyable evening. Large flat screen TV, in-wall speakers, state of the art receiver/DVD/CD player, iPod plug/play, cable TV, new furniture, bedding, towels, etc. add to your comfort. You can even do your laundry in the unit's washer and dryer and go home with clean clothes. There is a free assigned parking stall near the entrance to the condo, so you never have to look for a parking spot.
We are located on the famous Alii drive, where you can go for a walk/run. There is a public bus that stops in front of the condo and goes between the Kailua Pier (less than 4 miles away) and Keahou shopping center (2 miles away). Kailua town offers many restaurants/bars, and stores for shopping. Keohou has a few restaurants, a supermarket, drug store, cinemas, book store and more.
Enjoy hanging out at the beach or watch the hula dancers practice their routines in the park. Keahou offers daily free Hawaiian cultural activities, including ukulele lessons, making flower leis or watching a hula performances.
Whatever you do, you will have a great time on the Big Island.
P.S. If you have to combine work and play, we just had our own Wifi installed in July 2012.
Keywords: studio
We have been visiting Kailua-Kona for the past 20 years and finally decided to buy at KMS where we always stayed. The third floor unit had everything that we wanted for. So we bought it in 2010, gutted and remodeled the place to our liking. We hope you enjoy your stay and make many memories like we have. Kona is paradise for us and we are glad that we can share it with you. Aloha!
Sonia purchased this studio in 2010
We love the location. We have stayed in KMS every time that we visited the Big Island. We have done so for the past 16 years. We enjoy the beach next door and the fact that there is so much to do here or just hang out and relax.
The location can't be beat. The view from the lanai, the fish and turtles, the sunsets! You have to see it to believe it.
"Kona Magic Sands 303"
5 of 5 starsReviewed July 26, 2013
Paradise on a budget!
I love the Big Island and especially Kona; fell in love with it 40 years ago on my honeymoon. I dive and for many years dove with Dive Makai, but unfortunately the original family owned business was bought out by a mainlander who drove it into the ground. I have tried Jacks and they are good but I would also highly recommend Big Island Divers (same dive sites for less).I personally like to rent condos and have tried a variety of properties over the years. I have stayed at Kona Magic Sands a couple of times before and always liked the location. There aren't a lot of beaches in Kona and this property is right next door to one of the nicest ones. This year I splurged and rented one of them (Unit 303). It is on the top, 3rd, floor so you have a large open lanai and you're practically standing over the ocean. Sitting out on the lanai you can watch dolphins and turtles at almost any time. The constant surf provides a pleasant backdrop and you can see an amazing amount of reef fish just by looking down into the water, we call it porch diving.
There is large table and umbrella for al fresco dining, a lounge chair and some other seating out there so it is all very comfortable.
The unit inside is very nice, everything looks new. It is kind of laid out like a large hotel suite, very roomy. My wife really really liked the place (she has not always appreciated some of my previous choices).
There is a big screen TV, which I never turned on, but I did use the WiFi all the time which was pretty fast (looks like a cable modem)
The kitchen appliances, like everything else, looked new and we seemed to find everything we needed. We brought our Costco card and packed the fridge, so we pretty much ate in, or packed the fridge, so we pretty much ate in, or packed lunches to go most of the time. The farmers market is on Wednesdays and great place to get local food cheap. BTW the fish at Costco is really good but I think the best fish can be bought at Safeway which is near the local Walmart.
There is a restaurant on the property, although I didn't try it this trip. Tried it years ago and it was okay but it looks like it is under new management now. Something to try next year.
There was a washer/dryer in the unit which as divers came is real handy; because after a dive almost everything comes back wet.
Communication with the owner was quick and easy. My wife wants to re-rent the unit.
This is the best remodeling of a beachfront condo I've ever seen. I was fortunate to be able to stay here for two weeks in March. Even though it's a Studio, there are many seating arrangements if you want to have friends over. All the electronics (TV, fans, A/C, WiFi) worked perfectly. There were ample supplies (which is rare) of TP, Paper Towels, dish, bath, & laundry soap, etc., so all you need is to stop off at Safeway, WallMart or Costco to get the food you want on your way to the condo. For organics go to the KTA in Keauhou. The deck is perfect for sunbathing if you're just not up to walking to the beach next door and as it turned out, also for star gazing. I'd never seen Venus so beautiful. I've been to Hawaii over 30 times now - this particular unit has a lot of well thought out details that you notice only when you don't have them. Hanging out here was truly Magical. I look forward to another sensational stay!
Our first trip to the Big Island and we were thrilled with this condo. Location is awesome with spectacular sunsets. Grocery shopping and restaurants very close. Great snorkelling right out front and perfect to have Magic Sands beach right next door for swimming and lounging with the beach chairs supplied. Excellent boogie boarding too. The welcome gift was much appreciated for a nightcap on the lanai after a late night arrival. Also appreciated the vacation tips and we used the Big Island Hawaii book every day to pick out different places to explore throughout the island. Mahalo, Sonia!
We spent 8 days in Kona and it was by far the best place we stayed at during our holiday.
We loved the lanai and the beautiful beach right next door.
The wiew is to die for :-)
We hope to be back soon!!
We loved this location, and especially this unit. Everyhthing was spotless, and well thought out. Loved the view, and easy access to road and town. We hope to be back soon!
We had the most awesome time! I didn't want to leave, It was wonderful, a gem of a place.
We stayed in this unit from April 11th - 17th and I have nothing but good things to say. The unit was well appointed, spacious and very clean. Great location only a few minutes drive from restaurants and shops. Was also incredibly conveninet being located directly next to a fantastic beach. The large uncovered deck was sunny all day and as it is West facing, we watched some beautiful sunsets. The owners were also great to deal with. I highly recommend renting this unit.

The selection of the tableau put up by Forest Department as the best of the 15 floats displayed by government departments by the jury at the 64{+t}{+h}Republic Day celebrations here on Saturday did not seem to tally with the popular view.
Widely cheered
The tableau displayed by the Department of Culture, highlighting the theme of 2013, the year of Telugu language and culture, was widely cheered by the audience as it sped past.
This, however, was adjudged the third best, belying their expectations.
Tableau landscape
The landscape on the tableau comprised an elegantly made replica of the famous Kakatiya Thoranam in the middle, a Telugu Thalli statue at one end and granite Lepakshi Nandi installed in the front.
Amidst them, tribal men and tribal women danced in rhythm to a folk song.
On the other hand, that of the Forest Department appeared to be normal for them, containing a mini fibreglass pylon unveiled at Gachibowli to commemorate the World Biodiversity Conference.
The float of the Animal Husbandry Department displaying an Ongole Bull, a cow and calf in the front, was adjudged the second best.

The monsoon is almost here, and the initial plan was to demolish both Hancock and Carnac bridges before rains come down hard. However, the Brihanmumbai municipal corporation (BMC) is still awaiting a reply from the traffic police on drawing up a plan to close vehicular and pedestrian traffic on these two major bridges before demolition work starts.
The two, the 135-year-old Hancock Bridge, the stone bridge between Sandhurst Road and Byculla stations, and Carnac Bridge, built in 1868, that lies between Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) and Masjid station, were declared dangerous last year. There was a six-month long stand-off between BMC and Central Railway on who should fund the demolition and rebuilding of these bridges.
According to civic officials, a meeting on the issue was held between CR officials and traffic police officials on May 26. Following this, civic officials wrote to traffic cops requesting them to chalk out a plan to completely shut down vehicular/pedestrian movement on both these bridges.
"CR wants to demolish the bridge before the monsoon fury, but we are yet to hear from traffic officials on this. Only after they respond, can CR start demolishing portion of the bridges over the railway stations," said SO Kori, chief engineer (bridges), BMC.
The agreement on demolition work is that CR would do the job and BMC would fund it. The civic body has even invited tenders for rebuilding the bridges, which it plans to start after the monsoons. The cost to rebuild portions of the bridges above the railway stations has been estimated at Rs30 crore.
While traffic police have issued notifications to stop movement of heavy vehicles on the bridges, for which traffic diversions have also been created, cops say completely cordoning off the bridges would be a tedious process, as there are several other things also to be taken care of.
"We have to consider issues like diversions, alterations, vehicle movement, traffic volume on the road that has to be repaired, putting up signage and deployment of traffic policemen. We have a set procedure for such requests from the BMC. We have to ensure people are not trapped, and have to consider several issues before we give the nod for the work," said Qaiser Khalid, additional commissioner of police, traffic.

The executive council, which was the top-decision making body, will be dissolved effective April 1
Months after disbanding its top decision making body, IT major Infosys on Friday announced that the company would appoint nine executive officers effective April 1.
The new executive officers include company co-founders N.R. Narayana Murthy and S. Gopalakrishnan, chief executive officer S.D. Shibulal, head of delivery excellence Srinath Batni, Chief Financial Officer Rajiv Bansal, Senior VP and HR head Srikantan Moorthy, Chief Risk Officer Parvatheesam K. and the two company presidents who were recently inducted, B.G. Srinivas and U.B. Pravin. The disbanding of the executive council, which was announced in January , was unexpected as it was quick on the heels of an expansion of the same body.
Friday's announcement was made in a filing to the US Securities and Exchange Commission. It said that the current executive council would cease to exist from April 1, after which the newly-announced members would take over.
The change in the executive body comes at a time when Infosys is seeing major changes at the top-level, with at least nine top-level executives calling it quits in recent months, one as recently as last week.
Mr. Murthy had recently alluded to major top-level changes, at successive investor meets, in order to improve productivity at the company.. Infosys recently announced that the company would grow at the lower end of its sales outlook at 11.5 per cent, months after it revised growth guidance from 9-10 per cent to 11.5-12 per cent.

Wild market ride is driving people out of stocks
Analysts say it's also the chief reason Americans are fleeing the stock market as if it's 2008 all over again. Retail investors pulled $36 billion out of U.S. stock funds in August, according to preliminary data from the Investment Company Institute. That's second only to the $47 billion withdrawn from U.S. stock funds at the height of the financial crisis in October 2008.
"The swings themselves have eroded the confidence of investors," said Jeff Kleintop, chief market strategist at LPL Financial. "It's the sign of a market and an economy not on sound footing."
Sica, the wealth manager, told his clients to leave no more than 10 percent of their savings in stocks at the end of May on the belief that markets would slide as the Federal Reserve's efforts to help the economy came to an end in June. The stock market's drop since then has failed to lure Sica and his clients back in. In fact, he's told his clients to get the rest of their money out.
In the past, a rally like the 5 percent one in the week ending Sep. 16 would be enough to cause Sica's phone to ring with calls from clients wanting to shift more money into stocks. "They'd have the sense their missing out on something," Sica said. In recent weeks, stock market surges are followed by clients calling to say "`Please keep me out,'" he said.
"This is the first time in 20 years that I'm totally out of stocks, unfortunately. Just because something declines, it doesn't mean it will ever come back."

Watch 13.7 billion years of galactic evolution in less than a minute
This amazing supercomputer simulation shows the creation of a spiral galaxy similar to our own Milky Way.
Thu, May 15, 2014 at 09:46 AM

A stunning new NASA video shows a spiral galaxy like our own Milky Way form and take shape, compressing more than 13 billion years of cosmic evolution into about 45 seconds.
The galaxy-evolution video — a supercomputer simulation created by researchers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center — chronicles the growth of a spiral, beginning with its birth shortly after the Big Bang that created the universe 13.8 billion years ago.
"Galaxies are thought to begin as small clouds of stars and dust swirling through space. As other clouds get close, gravity sends these objects careening into one another and knits them into larger spinning packs," NASA officials wrote in a description of the video released Tuesday (May 13).
"Subsequent collisions can sling material toward a galaxy's outskirts, creating extensive spiral arms filled with colonies of stars," they add. "Watch the video to see this process unfold."
Mergers have been important in shaping the Milky Way galaxy since its birth about 13.5 billion years ago. The Milky Way has gobbled up a number of satellite dwarf galaxies over the eons, for example, and is set for a much more dramatic collision in the future.
The Milky Way and neighboring Andromeda, another spiral galaxy that's even bigger than our own, are currently barreling toward each other at about 250,000 mph (400,000 km/h). Four billion years from now, they will begin coming together in a huge galactic smashup that will dazzle Earthbound skywatchers (if any humans are still around by then).
When the dust has cleared in about six billion years, the result will likely be a new hybrid "Milkomeda" galaxy with an elliptical rather than a spiral shape, researchers say.
You can view the new NASA galaxy-evolution simulation on your iPhone or iPad using the free NASA Visualization Explorer app.

The recent Kurt Cobain necrophilia is a reminder that the flannel brigade of a decade ago pricked up ears significantly older than the artists themselves. Sum 41's unyielding yelps, however, help ensure that the bar remains low, all-ages style. They're effectively the Offspring without pesky potbellies getting in the way. Which means their Canadian football fight songs can be embedded with anti-technology tracts even as their PlayStation-induced ADD seizure spins into hyperdriveand the target demo doesn't notice the contradiction. When not lathering with the corporate punk spittle, they tilt at windmills in shrill homage to Iron Maiden. But their grinding guitars pose no threat to the bona fide bombast of, say, Disturbed. Sum 41's bark and bite become diminished by their inability to growl.
At the turn of the century (three long years ago), back before Korn's Jonathan Davis pursued singing lessons to get his primal trauma taken more seriously, the likes of Sum 41 could always compensate for emotive lack by biting off Licensed to Ill. The biggest pop hit from that era was, in fact, Crazy Town's "Butterfly," which prompted my own pushing-30 epiphany that music by men festooned with tattoos was no longer for me to understand. Paul Oakenfold must have felt that generation gap closing, too, because he tapped the band's Shifty Shellshock for the flighty confection "Starry Eyed Surprise." In turn, the churlish angst of Crazy Town's own recent "Drowning" sounds outmoded, particularly after Linkin Park successfully grafted visceral Pink Floyd-style pomp on the same formula. Still, it's more appealing than the recent thudding efforts of Papa Roach, whose second album failed to ignite in spite of a pricey tie-in with Pepsi Bluea drink whose name implies an anti-antidepressant. But the berry-flavored fizz did help the career of Sev, whose "Same Old Song" pits a sub-Limp Bizkit cheer against the chanting of Benedictine monkswho haven't charted this high since, oh, 1994. On their heels comes Trapt's "Headstrong," nu-metal for boppers not quite prepared to surrender the pinup affability of boy bands. You know Trapt aren't vying for the affections of neo-prog Mudvayne fanatics when their singer, Chris Brown, feels Genesis got good only after Phil Collins took the mic.
So while the office-casual clothes and sullen stares might look the same, don't confuse Trapt for Taproot, given how the latter are all about channeling Layne Staley. The ghost of Alice in Chains may well be warbling along on "Poem." (And, just in case you find their tortured shtick too subtle, they have another tune called "Art.") Yet another similar act, Cinder, resort to luring the actual Scott Weiland into the studio to collaborate on a number called "Lush," which is stylistically indiscernible from Stone Temple Pilots' "Plush." The only difference is, these seventh-generation grunge acts exploit the tragic flaws of their forebears to elicit the listener's sympathy. Not even Creed are that callous.
In sharp contradiction come Spartaagain, not to be confused with either Trapt or TapRootsplinter group from retired rock saviors At the Drive-In. (It's unclear where the Afros went.) Their "Cut Your Ribbon" is a ruthless chastisement that leaves shards of shame in its wake. Saliva's Josey Scotta burly reformed rap-rockerattempts an indictment of domestic abuse on "Always," yet (probably on purpose) the ditty risks getting embraced as a moon-eyed make-out anthem in the misinterpreted tradition of "Every Breath You Take." Better that respectability-seeking schlockmeisters squint inward for the sake of flagellation. Slipknot leatherface Corey Taylor lays down his blood-spattered battle-ax for his alter ego Stone Sour's power ballad "Bother," setting his unrepentant misanthropy to strings, knowing that kids seeking bleak contemplation don't need a silver lining.
That message, unfortunately, failed to get telegraphed across continents, given how South African trio Seether's "Fine Again" is a cockamamy recovery anthem that makes you wish Nickelback and all their windbagging associates had been around to pledge that they ain't gonna play Sun City. It's probably better that other continents run off with the bombast baton, in order for trend speculators to get dividends on all that Dashboard Confessional and Unwritten Law stock they bought last summer. In the opposite corner await new wavey popsters such as the All-American Rejects and OK Go, swaddled in synths, gambling that the Next Big Thing will be more Eno than emo.
Audiovent's sun-kissed shag shuffle is courtesy of the brothers of two members of Incubustime will tell if they tap into the 12-to-24 consciousness deeper than did similar sibling bands of Quiet Riot or Extreme. Likewise, Chevelle's "The Red," a recent K-Rock staple, makes one nostalgic for when a band comprised of three brothers was more like the Beach Boys, or at least Hanson. Instead, it's another diluted Deftones. Ditto with TRUSTcompany's "Running From Me." Seems that if you just whisper, you'll seem foreboding enough to share the airwaves with Eminem.
But what the "The" groups delivered in 2002 was freneticismsomething that will doubtless be simulated by numerous major-label signings this year. (First at bat: "My Goddess" by the Exies.) The triumph of the hysterical over the heretical, after all, is what we aging Gen X'ers trekked out to watch Axl Rose for. These newer rock hopefuls behave like they're yearning to break out of a restraint that isn't there in the first placebut if they didn't pretend it was, they would have no case (not to mention no teenage audience), dig? But with anarchy reigning in all forms of media, does any chaos remain for a guitar group to convey?
At least Loudermilk have the right notion out of the gate, being a former Guns N' Roses tribute band, giving them a curator's appreciation of eyelined debauchery. Like all the greatest glam bands, though, they can't write a catchy tune. GN'R's recent tour opener CKY's growling "Flesh Into Gear" piles on the sludge with a dollop of Moog, amounting to the Jackass era's equivalent of Blue Öyster Cult. Then there's the Used, a combo from Salt Lake City whose crazily hoarse frontman Bert McCrackenalso Ozzy's aspiring son-in-lawseizures through songs like "The Taste of Ink." Oh, the ad copy for the Used's album boasts of how their "sheer intensity" has kept them from being invited back to club or concert venues. Works for me. I've gotten too old for such places anyhow.
