It was too early in the season to migrate north, yet I found myself on a train, tracing the California coast towards Oregon. The Pacific Northwest is my Summerland, a sanctuary between worlds, where I can rest and rejuvenate my weary soul, and find direction for the years ahead. When my sister and her husband […]
I found myself wandering the desolate streets of Klamath Falls late into the night. Heading to Los Angeles, and then points east. My backpack has become too heavy from the multitude of gear experiments this year, and maybe it’s time for a change. Cut everything back to bare minimum. Besides, wearing blue jeans makes me […]
Fun times with a little elevation gain #Oregon
A nice wind down from the hectic pace of daydreaming and eating way too many Pop Tarts… Thanks @kenny.crain #goodtimes

In the blink of an eye I’d slept three hours, deciding that maybe I needed another twelve. The cold rain continued through the night, the trees swaying and cracking above me in the wind. […]
In the hushed confines of the trailer, I ignite candles as a feeble defense against the encroaching cold. Overhead, the distant calls of geese pierce the air, tracing their path southward, the very route I’ll embark upon come morning. The mercury is predicted to plummet below freezing, and I can’t help but relish the impending […]
Aww, @evamariewild baked a cake to remind me that it’s time to be moving along. #familytime #blessed
