On our journey, Thanksgiving has become one of our favorite holidays. There is zero chance of us attempting to cook a big meal in our tiny living space, and many restaurants have fabulous Thanksgiving offerings. This year Thanksgiving finds us in a remote part of California among the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains. TheContinue reading “Sierra Nevada Thanksgiving”

The Wayward Wind
At times life will conspire to keep us in one location for a while. It doesn’t take much of that before the urge to wander consumes us. After two months of being in the same location with nights getting colder and the big dark descending, we took off like our tail was on fire. NightContinue reading “The Wayward Wind”
In The Beginning
Sitting idle at home base for two months leaves little to blog about, I felt the urge to write, so I decided to tell the origin story. This is the tale of my travels to purchase and return home with Tortuga, including the embarrassing bit. Fall of 2018 Kendra and I completed five years ofContinue reading “In The Beginning”
Disappointment and Deception
I chose the title for this blog entry before we had any drama, but disappointment hit us hard two nights ago. We returned from the beach just after sunset, clicked the button to fire up the generator and instead of starting, the entire DC power system shut down. That system is all of our lighting,Continue reading “Disappointment and Deception”
Portland Anew

It has done an amazing job managing growth boundaries, so you can go from cityscape into farmland or forest with a short drive instead of beingContinue reading “Portland Anew”

This remote windy road leads to the ruggedly beautiful Cape Flattery touted as the beginning of the world, and home to the cape people. A short hike from the parking lot lies breathtaking views for which IContinue reading “Flattery will get you”
Stomping Ground
While I love the adventure of traveling, I also enjoy having a habitual and familiar territory. Many years ago my wife and I were learning who the other was existentially, and I remember saying that my perfect environment was in the big trees, with mountains, waterfalls, and ocean views. That statement could be the tagContinue reading “Stomping Ground”
Pleasant Pismo Beach
While I loved the mountains outside of San Diego, our luck with the weather was not so good. In fact, I’d go as far as to say it was absolute shite. We were stuck inside with snow for several days and when it finally thawed we looked ahead to see a potential foot of snowContinue reading “Pleasant Pismo Beach”
Winter in the Desert
We made it through the winter in the desert and have begun a slow journey up the ocean to our home state.
Crispy Catalina
It is the final day of 2021, so Happy New Year everyone. It has been an interesting and adventurous year for us. We went to so many hot springs I lost count, and still would have liked more. Yes, I am a hot water slut. I hiked three significant peaks; Mount Townsend, Superstition, and Sauk.Continue reading “Crispy Catalina”
