On one cold dark winter day we were drinking that lovely green tea with my wife and looking at the map we have pinned on our kitchen wall it srike to us that there's a huge empty spot unfilled.
Wife's just got a motorcycle licence and some cold-climate offroad schooling from our Iceland trip I thought it's the right time to take a challenge for both of us.
Negotiations with our workplaces turned out to be simple for both of us working in different places but with the same message: "give us 4 months of vacation or fire us, your choice". They chose the first option for both of us so we happily left to chase our wild dreams we had set in motion on that dark cold winter night in our home of Estonia.
The motorcycle travel map we've done so far looks like this:
It had taken over 3 years straight travelling to do most of it, but there was still a large gap and the part missing is marked with red route we were about to do.
I had my trusty Pentax 67 that has done everything you see on that map - it's now having over 250 000 kilometers of motorcycling vibrations, bumps and bruises - from hot desert sand to high altitude snow smoothing it's already worn out surface, but the camera still going on and for me the alltime favourite and the most trustworthy camera ever made. I also took new-to-me Pentax 67ii for slide films (mostly for it's very nicely working matrix TTL meter the older 67 lacks), Fuji GA645i rangefinder and a Soviet Horizon 202 swivelling lens panoramic camera.
I took around 60 rolls of film with me (some addidional 35mm rolls are missing from the pic)
So a decent amount of self-developing-scanning-editing and posting as time provides to come...
