No Agawa Bay without a relatively cheap ride

Last summer I stood within inches of a sparkling bay attached to the mighty and cold Lake Superior.

One more step and I would have frozen my toes.

As I tip my hat to the past century of cheap oil, and all the thousands of benefits I've enjoyed as a result of burning it quickly, I think of my trip to Agawa Bay and beyond.


The motorcycle ran smoothly, I filled the 14 litre tank for about 20 bucks per shot, and every park and campground I visited offered up spectacular views that I wouldn't have seen without motor oil and gasoline.

And my 1984 Yamaha, one pair of pants and saddlebags filled with food.

My next trip to the same spot will likely be different in several ways.
