I'm on a mission to visit every state in the lower 48 on a Motorcycle. I'm riding across the US solo on a Honda Africa Twin to scratch off the last few states I have left. This video is sponsored by Moto Camp Nerd.

You are a pro at using the music with your videos! You don’t drown out your voice and your videography is excellent! We really enjoy your peaceful and uplifting work. Thank you 😊 Oh and regarding the rude jerk, just keep in mind that while he made you feel bad for a little while, he has to live with that poison in his soul on a regular basis. Keep focusing on your happiness. 🤗

Amanda, I love your channel and this is another excellent video. I look forward to every episode and as a fellow Clackamas resident and regular patron of the local REI, I feel like there's even more of a connection. It breaks my heart that you have to deal with some of the worst examples of humanity on these epic trips. No one deserves that. I know how difficult it can be to pull yourself out of the funk that some random unpleasant person can put you in. I just want you to know that when I see there's a new ATMF video released, it's a bright spot in my day. If I feel that way, that means there are thousands of others that feel the same. What you're doing is not easy and your work is appreciated and respected. I can't wait to see the rest of the series.

This is the good stuff! Also, I love the contrast of your high tech Wolfman bag next to what looks like a grocery store produce bag holding your dear hat. While you made an incredibly secure hat strap system, I feel like Wolfman should be making you a proper waterproof hat containment system. I cried with you that day you lost your hat. Be well!

Teaching the grandson to drive. The first day with traffic and a car load of people passed us in a curve shouting and giving the finger. The flood of emotions triggered by this shook him but gave us a chance to talk. I explained that regardless of how well you drive, look, act, or your age that these jerks will crop up at times. How do we handle it pull over or chase them down? His answer was, I'm glad i'm not them and that they are gone, I just want to drive. I gave him a big thumbs up... Amanda, sorry you were disrespected but thank you for sharing that it took time for you to shake it off. Knee jerk reactions can be dangerous, stay safe and keep, "doing the thing", !

Hi Amanda, I'm curious on your thoughts ( I haven't finished watching the vid yet, so you may have answered already 😞) on that rain suit? It looks like it's kind of lose and might be generating additional drag, but maybe that's just how it looks in the video. OK, edit here, not as much buffeting as I originally thought. I see that it goes entirely over your riding gear, so that's nice. Maybe some elastic straps around the arms for a closer fit like you see on some sport bike jackets.
