The problem is now, and I've expericend this after every one of my big journeys. Its a kind of paralasis of communication. You really can't describe all you have seen. There aren't the words to describe your emotions.
Yes you've got a few pictures, but the pictures are rubbish compared to what was actually there (I am a better photographer than most before you say anything). If you've tried to video it, it is even worse.
You were somewhere so different, so strange, you had troubles, but people were good and kind. It is so hard to explain. I wish I could do a better job of talking about it because in my head it was a life changing experience, but out of my head all i can offer is glib comments and wave my hands about!
I think, maybe, that a lot of people feel this way after a proper adventure.

I would not feel pressured Dave. Don't even bother to explain. We get it. But sharing thoughts and memories HERE is not a bad way to go, IMO.
Just let it come out when you think of it, and feel like sitting down and writing something. No pressure. Doesn't have to be a big production. Have fun with it. 
If you've got a Blog here ... I didn't see it. Most blogs get no attention beyond close friends and family. But really ... your "real" family is right here. We're the guys/girls who get it, who've been there, done that. So, a pretty good audience.
I would start a Ride report in Ride Tales, try to update as much as you can, adding things as they come up, keep it rolling and at the top of the forum. And of course Photos make it all better.
The fact is, lots of "regular" people you met don't really give a shit what you saw in Maroc and probably think your a nut job for going there solo.
We've all had these reactions. But here on HUBB you've got virtual friends who appreciate the work it takes to pound out thoughts and post up pics and many have had similar experiences on the road.
Cheers! 
PS: And of course you should have already started planning the NEXT BIG RIDE! YES?
