The dark woods whispered with the secrets of countless shadows, and the air was thick with uncertainty. Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy, and their lovable Great Dane, Scooby-Doo, found themselves wandering through the tangled undergrowth, each step a symphony of breaking twigs and rustling leaves. “Like, are you sure we’re going the right way, Scoob?” Shaggy’s […]

Oregon Coast Trail, Astoria, OR
Cars raced past him, mere inches from the narrow bicycle lane, as he strode across New Young’s Bay Bridge into the labyrinthine streets of Astoria. He was denied refuge from the rain by an eatery that couldn’t muster enough workforce to open its doors. Along the coast, job openings were plentiful, but paltry wages offered […]
Stealth Camping Warrenton, OR
Startled awake by the irritated snorts of deer, their hooves drumming the earth, he grudgingly relinquished their territory, awakening in a clearing that wasn’t his alone. Blacktail deer were masters of the edges, ensconced in the cover of the dense forest during daylight hours. A mere stone’s throw from the bank parking lot, he might […]
Seaside to Warrenton, OR
After two nights of relentless cabin isolation, his garments clung to him, drenched as if he had never escaped the ocean’s icy embrace. Those coastal woods, ancient and shrouded, were like sponges, hoarding the sea’s moisture. Fog threaded through gnarled trees, rain pattered on like a ceaseless ritual. Wetness seeped through everything, an ever-present touch. […]
Nehalem River Stealth Camp
He walked the beach north until the Nehalem River prevented forward movement. There he’d have to hire a boat to take him across the bay. He filled up on water at the crab cleaning station and realized that the few cookies and a little salami were all he had left for food. Luckily the town […]

Grand Canyon Railroad to Nany’s Tacos
Rode the Grand Canyon Railroad into Williams because I’ve never been there before, which is too bad because Nanys Tacos has the best tacos I’ve had in the US. Hiked a little ways out of town to camp for the night. A little close to the interstate but I don’t mind. #wandering #Arizona
Stealth Camping Tusayan, AZ
This is the entrance to the Grand Canyon? It sure is, but without a permit I camped nearby and took way too many pictures of my tent. Not in a hurry to go anywhere, except the food in town is all super expensive. Supposedly it’s cheaper inside the park. Maybe tomorrow the Grand Canyon. #grandcanyon […]
AZT to Tusayan
Pushed the last 26 miles into Tusayan to have McDonald’s earlier than planned. Only the jokes on me, the McDonald’s has been torn down. Had to settle for Wendy’s, and had to knock on the door to be let in since they close at 6pm on Sundays. But I got my burger. All is well […]
San Jacinto Cowboy Camping
What a fantastic night! Hiked the PCT partway up San Jacinto, not as far as I’d hoped but I had a painful blister from the hole in my toe socks. I’d drained some of it yesterday morning but it came back with a vengeance. I cowboy camped 150 ft west of the water faucet off […]
