To be or not to be...

I noticed today that there aren't any posts to let you know the reason why Scott is doing this trip. Here's a synopsis (in my own words):

Scott's dad awakened his interest in photography and, as you can see from his website, he has a LOT of talent and has a real passion for it. His dad also peaked his interest in motorcycles and now Scott rides as often as possible and loves that we live in a climate where he can ride almost all year round.

When Scott was very young, his dad was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and it quickly advanced to the point that he was in a wheelchair for almost as long as Scott can remember. He passed away when Scott was in high school. We also have many long-time friends who have also been diagnosed with MS, some as long as 20 years ago, some just in the last few years.

Scott wanted to do something substantial to help raise funds for MS research. This project allows him to combine two of his passions to create a book that he not only hopes people will enjoy but will raise funds for this close-to-his-heart cause.

We're thrilled that you've chosen to check out this trip-blog and hope that you also join the Facebook group (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=11959812727) to show your virtual support. :o)
