We had one final week on the road before we had to start with the real chores associated with our drive back up to Washington, we aimed to stay at a free campground in the Eastern Sierras that we enjoyed last year around this time – where we got a...
No, I hadn’t forgotten to share my favorite camping spots of 2018 (well, maybe a little) but I am running later than usual I guess. Still, nothing better then recapping my favorites of the year and publicly flaunting them, right? So here goes… For the 2018 travel year we devoted...
The decision was made to start heading towards our sailing lessons in Santa Barbara. Before the end of the Xmas week we had already left the solitude and adventures of the Mojave and headed South towards Joshua Tree. Sure there was [yet another] government shutdown going on but we were...
Even though we had a great boondocking spot miles down a dirt road all to ourselves, Kerri continued her map reconnoitering. In the process, she found a cabin. The cabin (I will leave it un-named and un-marked) is open to the public and free to use. Our curiosity was peaked...
We spent a couple of hours driving a loop of asphalt around the Mojave to scout some already-known boondocking spots when Kerri directed me down yet another dirt road to explore. While the known-spots were just fine, they need to be something special to meet Kerri’s standards, and they did...

Two years ago Kerri and I planned to spend a serious amount of time exploring the state we both grew up in – California. For me, even though I spent 37 years here, I rarely got out and explore the state. Sure, I drove the Reno or L.A., and I...
This post was written years ago. Please research the laws yourself to ensure the information is up to date. It has been a while since I made one of these posts. Funny enough, the few posts I have done in the past on this subject (Washington, Oregon, & Alaska/Canada) have...
Redwoods National Park, I’ve been here before, a few times in fact. The problem is that in previous years coming through this area I have been unable to stop and do anything of significance within the park. My work at the time, and the lack of cell signal anywhere nearby,...
Since we had a half day to go do something before arriving at Aunt Claudia’s, Kerri set us out to hike another trail – the third in two days – at Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park. I will admit that none were long or difficult, but I have been feeling...
