The pair set off on a cross-country motorcycle journey taking in the si ghts of New Mexico, Colorado and Montana so far - they have already cover ed around 4,000 miles (6,437) and plan to spend two more weeks travelling before concluding their trip.
She tells U.S. TV host Larry King, "We decided while we’re young and st ill healthy, we wanted to see the country and get to do this amazing ride across the States. So I put an album out in June, and luckily my label w as OK with me leaving. I did a short tour and a few TV shows. That was it .. I haven’t promoted it ever since.
"We’ve done about 4,000 miles so far. We’re really taking our time, doi ng the byways and the scenic highways and the mountains. We sought cooler weather, leaving Texas. So we did New Mexico, Colorado, Yellowstone. We’ re up in Montana right now…" Jewel admits the journey has been mostly smooth apart from one incident in which she fell from her bike and hurt her ankle.
She adds, "I was on a muddy road, a really slick road, going really slo w - I was just in first gear, but I fell over and tore all the ligaments in my ankle. That was probably the worst thing that’s happened." (LR/WNVK
