Our original plan to start our 2017 year has been to jump over the Sierras and bring Kerri down into Death Valley for her first time. Unfortunately, the recent cold snap steered us to lower elevations and a safer driving route. It also gave us the opportunity to see a...
For the past two weeks, while the Airstream was in for servicing, we were mooch-docking in Big Blue outside my family’s place in the East Bay, down at sea-level. Certainly not the most scenic of places we have stayed, but with my son flying out for a visit and the...
The Airstream went in for a few weeks of repairs – minor repairs, nothing to be worried about – so we piled into the ‘vacation home’ that is Big Blue (yes, he will still be known as Big Blue) and set out for a weekend journey. First stop was a...
The final week before arriving at Kerri’s parents property in Grass Valley, and what will start five to six weeks of staying put (mostly) between our respective family’s homes, was spent just a few hours north, at Eagle Lake near Susanville, CA. I admit that I was not expecting anything...
We left Klamath Falls in the late afternoon on route to cross into California for a night’s camp in the national forest just outside of Lava Beds National Monument. Less than a two-hour drive, we arrived shortly before sunset and found the spot we researched to be too small for...
I happily went along with the idea of extending our stay in Oregon. Kerri discussed it with me back in Idaho, and she knows damn well how I feel about California. I am forced to return to my most-despised state eventually, but entering only at the last minute an exiting...
Though we could not get into the park when we wanted, we made it in this past weekend anyway after jumping a few fences, knocking out a Park Ranger, and … yea I am fibbing a bit. From the South side the roads were open and clear so we drove...
We left Bend with the purpose of visiting Crater Lake National Park, which Kerri had not yet been too. Originally, the plan was to migrate all the way to Klamath Falls and day-trip into the park from there, but Kerri found a nice spot to camp right outside of the...
I’ve been here before – deep into Oregon exploring and adventuring – but most of that time has been spent on the coastal side of the state with some day-touring of the mountains here and there, mainly to see the National Parks. When Kerri and I were planning out this...
We have moved a good distance since my last post back in Idaho, so allow me to catch up some… We left Stanley, Idaho with the plan of a single night’s stay in an established campground not far down the road at yet another hot spring. We thought we would...
