Sometimes a cow strays from the herd. 
Jesse Lawler is such a man. 
And sometimes this cow/man does it on a bicycle... 

Okay, well this metaphor is going nowhere, but the point is, sometimes Jesse Lawler takes long distance bicycling trips or other "boldly going nowhere in particular" adventures.  When he does, there's generally a camera and notepad in tow, and you can see the results below:

	2007 / Burning Man 49,000 well-intentioned weirdos converge in the middle of nowhere for a week-long celebration of art, fire, bizarre costumes, illicit substances, and music that goes "OON-ka, OON-ka, OON-ka" over and over and over again.  Lawler reports.
	2005 / Ho Chi Minh Trail-Ride The most gut-wrenching bike trip to date.  If not from the physical exertion, then from the consistently strange menu.  This time Lawler humps the Vietnam War's Ho Chi Minh Trail in reverse, from Cambodia up into Laos and ending in Hanoi, north Vietnam.
	2003 / Kiwi Xmas Tour A Yuletide cruise down the South Island of New Zealand.  The idea was to take advantage of the southern hemisphere's reversed seasons.  But New Zealand had plans of its own in store...
	2002 / Escape From LA Tour Jesse's first long distance expedition, a coast-to-coast ride across the southern United States.  3100 miles, 8 states, 0 hospitable farmer's daughters.
