"An
adventure is
taking
inappropriate
equipment
to out-of-the-way
places...."
A
Journey to the
YUKON TERRITORY on
Motorcycles
...and
the real adventure never
starts until things
start going wrong. And
things went very, very
wrong.
Notable elements of this
12,600 mile trip
included earthquakes,
drifting pea sized hail,
record rainfall storms
with tornadoes tossed in
for spice, angry mother
moose, a colleague
abandoned with his
totaled motorcycle at
the Arctic Circle,
grizzlies gorging
themselves on
dandelions, herds of
moose intent on
outrunning us, dead
caribou, live caribou,
ice fog, Hyderization,
random road encounters,
roadhouse bands, beer
and dining, black bears
as numerous as house
cats and more....
Three motorcycles left
Chicago. Three weeks
later, two of them
eventually limped home.
The rest of the story
will be told March 29 at
the Cigar Society.
The
Lounge at Iwan Ries.
Tuesday, March 29,
5:30-8:30pm

About
the
Cigar Society of
Chicago
ONE OF
THE OLDEST AND greatest
traditions of the city
clubs of Chicago is the
discussion of
intellectual, social,
legal, artistic,
historical, scientific,
musical, theatrical, and
philosophical issues in
the company of educated,
bright, and
appropriately
provocative individuals,
all under the beneficent
influence of substantial
amounts of tobacco and
spirits. The
Cigar Society of
Chicago
embraces this tradition
and extends it with its
Informal Smokers,
University Series
lectures, and Cigar
Society Dinners,
in which cigars, and
from time to time pipes
and cigarettes, appear
as an important
component of our version
of the classical
symposium. To be
included in the Cigar
Society's mailing list,

at
curtis.tuckey@logicophilosophicus.org
