2J here!!
I for one, am a person of spontaneity. I like to just open up Google Maps, select a random place that has trees, wilderness, or a pretty looking location around it... then set the location and GO!!!
If you're a NYer... iloveny.com has great ideas for places to see and things to do!! Some free...others....not so much
Of course i understand that not everyone has the capacity to just pick up and leave. Being a college student on vaca, it's easier for me. But, let's say you work a 9-5 5 days a week.... that still leaves 2 of the 7 days of the week to live like it's your last day!! (EXCLUDE SICK DAYS...NOONE LIKES RUNNING AROUND WITH A FEVER AND A NASTY COUGH!!)
Use 1 of the 2 days to catch up on your usual chores and blast through everything with the hope that the weather will cooperate with you (just give mother nature a buzz...im sure she'll work with you), cuz you have some plans for tomorrow!!!!
Choose a place that you have never been...either through a travel site...friend's recommendation...or a random ping location on Google, and set out to an adventure outside of your usual box!!!
What i do to prepare myself for a long day of traveling is grab the following items:
- Bookbag
- Bottle of water loaded with ice
- Change of clothes (just incase)
- A few bars (protein bars, granola bars, fruit bars, etc)
- External Battery (I use ANKER 20K found here: https://www.amazon.com/Anker-20000mAh-Portable-Charger-PowerCore/dp/B00X5RV14Y/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1502814590&sr=8-3&keywords=anker+20000)
There are a few other things.....but i feel like those are my PERSONAL MUST-HAVE ESSENTIALS
SOOOOoooooo 2J..... Where did you go this time??
CROTON DAM!!!
LOCATED in NY.... just copy and paste: [New Croton Dam, Croton-On-Hudson, NY 10520]
COMMUTE TIME: 1 HR 27MINS
Talk about a spectacular view!!!! My jaw dropped when i saw how beautiful it was!!! It also made my 6 Foot tall 200lb frame seem minuscule :(.... But hey... it was amazing to look at (unlike me...lololololol)
I stood for about 10 mins because it seemed like you can walk along the top..... so i visually followed the roads and made it!!!
What did i see at the top you ask??
It was absolutely breath taking......
I walked around for a bit, then decided to head back down cuz i never took a pic lolol.....
Dont be afraid of new places...... looking for a new spot to hangout and discover is only HALF THE FUN!!!!
Be spontaneous and safe when looking for a new place and always let your family and friends know where you are heading incase anything were to happen!!!
Stay tuned to see where i go to next!!
Adventure beings when you set a foot outside your door!!! Let this one be different than the last!!!

Your Yamaha looks impressive. Very beauty color. Are you satisfied with this motorcycle? What are the pluses and minuses ?? I working in Yamaha company in Lithuania :)
I absolutely love it! I have 15,000 miles in the 1st yr of ownership! It has incredible power, super light, great in turns.... i love it so very much!! The only downside is after 2 to 3 hrs, my knees start to feel tight.... but then again... the fz09 wasn't meant to be a touring type of bike 😂... i wouldn't change a thing about it!
