Sure, most people would consider our nomadic lifestyle as already a vacation, and the low-stress life of living full time on the road does not necessarily beckon us to take a dedicated vacation or anything. But we did anyway, a reverse-vacation – from nomad to sitting still – a Noitacav....
Our week in the Mono Lake area has come to an end. A good week it was, with a good helping of hiking, sight seeing, and even socializing. Our week was spent with the most amazing view of Mono Lake on one side, the Eastern Sierras on another, and a...
The time has come for us to start heading North, and I must admit that I am happy about it. Surely, Baja has been great (at least parts of it), but I can only take so much desert-camping and beaches, you know. The call of mountains and trees are strong...
Now that we are in (or near) the tropics, the heat laid it on thick and Kerri’s ability to do anything came to a staggering halt. Eventually she just laying in the van until the sun began to set. Late enough in the day, and once the heat let up...
Well, that is it for San Felipe… for this trip at least. We camped on the beach for a week, explored numerous places to eat in town, and basically just beach bummed around for most of the time. I even tried my first few seafood tacos while here; Shrimp (not...
After an early Xmas with Kerri’s family in the South Bay last weekend, we did make it down to Borrego Springs in one and a half days of driving. It is nice to be back in Borrego Springs as it holds a special place in both our hearts as the...
On the way South, along the coastline, we stayed a single night in Newport, Oregon, at the Marina. It was an impromptu stay, partly to prevent a drive through the greater Portland area, partly to avoid the silliness of Portland’s laws and partly to keep Kerri on the coast for...
Cape Flattery is the northwesternmost point of the contiguous United States. It is in Clallam County, Washington on the Olympic Peninsula, where the Strait of Juan de Fuca joins the Pacific Ocean. Wikipedia Two years ago, when I was in this area, I chose not to come to Cape Flattery...
Since meeting and getting to know Kerri – way back in Jan of this year – she has been telling me about how much she loves Port Townsend, Washington. So much so that we even planned our Alaska trip to return into the lower-48 via Washington just to spend a...
Two years ago I came through the Pacific North West at this very time in the year. Two years ago our politician’s bickering and muscle flexing caused a Government shutdown (not to their own salaries of course) which closed down many parks, facilities, and services including the Dungeness National Wildlife...
