I was asked to write an article for Twisted Throttle. They made it available here:
There's always a competing balance between preparing and going. Follow along as Yermo learns things the hard way along the Trans America Trail!

this sounds like what a trip would be like for me. From getting lost to getting stuck. Despite it all you had a memorable trip. I like doing things alone but I don’t think I would do that. I find myself needing help on the local trails here sometimes. To the next great adventure.

It's all a question of practice and experience. I had the advantage that I've been riding for a very long time, just not that much off road.
The TAT is totally doable with a few years of riding experience and, especially, a few ADV rider courses under your belt.
Hopefully, I'll be able to take some in the summer once (fingers crossed) this pandemic settles down. I need to work on riding over rock garden and through sand and mud.

well done, Yermo! Cool that you got published. Your writing style is direct and simple, but rich. Loved it.
