A place to post your destination photos. I made it to Jack Block park, Seattle Wa

I haven't been doing much travel recently, but, I have ridden my SR between Las Vegas and Hollywood a few times.
Rode to Beatty once, just to see if I could make it. Rode to Pahrump earlier in the summer. Next time I go, I will try to
remember to take some photos.

It was so nice today I had to go for a ride. Made it to Rodondo Beach 🌴

I don't have a picture because I am not of that generation - today I rode Waverly to Feilding and back, on the LiveWire. A fun ride. Oh yeah.

Where do you recharge up at in places such as here in Pahrump?
I am at the Wine Ridge RV Park with my Zero DS. So I can charge up right here. But here, I have been using 120 VAC for a change as I have an outside outlet on the RV right next to where I park the bike. I use very little juice as I do not need to leave Pahrump with my DS.
But there is a 240 VAC outlet here and I do have my 5KW worth of external chargers with me, in case I do need a fast 6.4 KW charge.

Back on topic: I made it to Weinebene, Styria, Austria. This was in the beginning of October, now there would be skiing if not for Covid.

My charge hub app shows two along Hwy 160. Otherwise it looks like you would need to go to Vegas. Lots of them there

Somehow I didn't notice the J-1772 Valley Auto Plaza (Chevy dealer here in Pahrump) on Plugshare. I double checked after seeing your message and discovered it hidden behind the other green icon because I wasn't scaled in enough. So I just went there to check it out.
Plugshare was asking if it can be used when the place is closed, such as today on Sunday. And the answer is yes! We can get to it at anytime and it always has power. I just now came back from there. I didn't need a charge, but I did put it as a note on Plugshare for that location.
Looks like a good place to charge up, especially on Sunday when nobody is around.

Nice days have been few & far between here in the NW. Saturday was sunny and cold but I made it to Matthews Beach
-
I made it to the Statue of Liberty (the one @ Alli Beach). Sunny but cold here
-
I didn't make it to Mt. Rainier but I could see it from the Seola beach neighborhood in Burien.
-
I made it to Gaberl, a popular motor bike route in the north of Styria, Austria. I was there during the week, so only a few other riders (which of course you could here from afar :) )
-
I made it to the park for lunch ^-^

My longest one way journey was to the Montauk Point Lighthouse at the eastern most tip of the south fork of Long Island... roughly 100 miles from where I live.
-
Very cool. I haven't attempted to ride that far yet. This summer I will. Guess I better start planning a route now
-
Unseasonably warm today. 74. Rode to Discovery park. Here are pics of West Point Lighthouse & of course my bike
-
I made it to Shorewood & Seahurst Beach. Nice to get out

Seahurst beach & my dog

I made it to Dash Point today.

Oh man that's some of my favorite riding in the world. My childhood summers were spent on the Ouray mountain passes. Ouray to Telluride via Imogene is something I miss dearly and would looooove to take an FX over it.
-
I love it! Looking forward to my epic ride. Better start planning. Next season will be here before I know it
-
Made it to the office car & bike meet up. Was the only bike that showed :-\ Oh well it was fun to see all the cars anyways

8600 miles through the NEBDR, QC, NB, NS, Newfoundland and across the Trans Labrador Highway. I made it to Goose Bay!

The NEBDR was easy on an electric bike. Most of the towns have charging stations, and we only had to go off the route a short distance a couple of times to charge.

We rode and camped with a friend who also rides a Zero.

This steep rocky bit (NEBDR in Maine) got me - only dirt nap of the trip.

Some ZEC roads in Gaspe Peninsula.

Goose Bay! That leg was long, but my Zero still made it unassisted.

Camping on the shore of Lac Manicouagan.

Some sections of QC 389 are still gravel. Once we made it down to Baie-Comeau, chargers were plentiful and the rest of the ride home was easy.

Oh WOW! Meat Cove! I've got some GREAT stories about that place, but I always did it on a gas engined bike.
-
I'd like to hear some of those stories!
It's not hard to get to now, as the national park service added Level 2 EVSEs all along the Cabot Trail.
My wife Amy wrote about Meat Cove:
"Meat Cove turned out to be a fantastic confirmation that it’s best not to over-research our trips. We knew there was a campground with first come, first serve tent sites, and that’s about it. Our somewhat silly affinity for geographic extremities led us along a dirt road to the northern most point in Nova Scotia, and we were rewarded with one of the best campsites on the trip. The views are simply outstanding. Apparently, despite being a very tiny place, Meat Cove is a bit of a destination, and we were lucky to grab the last campsite on a Friday. It was also the most dangerous campsite we’ve ever used, and we had to pass the interview to be allowed to camp there. No more than two people allowed, no kids, no pets, and one small tent only. Site 11 is perched on a rocky outcropping with a small patch of soft grass on top, and is apparently highly desired. We just happened to be the first to qualify that afternoon, and the first willing to walk the narrow path with steep drop offs to set up out there. Others with more fear of heights had already said “no way.” Site 11 must be perpetually windy, and while I wouldn’t want to camp there for a week, it was definitely fun for one night."

8600 miles through rural Canada on an e-bike? That's frickin amazing in several ways!
The Trans Labrador Highway was 410 km with no gas stations, but they had charging stations?
-
The larger towns like Goose Bay, Churchill Falls and Lab city have public charging stations, but you're right to ask about the 410 km stretch from Port Hope Simpson to Goose Bay. There's nothing along there; it was wilderness until the road was completed in 2009, and they only finished paving it this year. We got lucky and there was someone at the highway maintenance depot at Cartwright Junction. He let me charge off their generator, using three Level 1 circuits to top up in about 2 hours. The depots are mostly not manned in the summer - he arrived two days ahead of us, and was due to leave 3 days after. Perry Trimper (Labrador politician) is working to improve the highway depots with public rest areas and charging stations, but for now it's not really a reliable plan.
-
I didn't take many photos at all but I completed a one-day NC500 run up in Scotland (and let me tell you, the 500ish miles there and back were nothing to sniff at either). Last two chargers on the route were out leaving me about 120 miles to complete on 57%, utterly emotionally and physically exhausting but I made it in 22 hours on about -5% charge!

a trip around iceland is possible ;D
