    The City of Angels, Time to Head East

    I took today off. I had breakfast, and I made an appointment for a neck and shoulder massage at my hotel (known as the tech massage). No plans for site seeing today. I saw quite a bit of LA yesterday, it was great. So it’s time to start heading east, back toward home. Am I…

  • The Pacific Coast; Washington and Oregon

    The Pacific Coast; Washington and Oregon

    One thing I neglected to mention in my previous post, about my spot at the Kalaloch Campground, was just how close it was to US-101. When I pulled into the site, I noticed a little opening that looked perfect for the tent. As I went to inspect it, I realized it was maybe 100 feet…

    Seattle… Where the Smoke Broke and the Clouds Hung Low

    Around 4,500 miles, over 44 different sights, 3 weeks of driving, and two days ago, I arrived in Seattle, WA.

    Where is she Going?

    It’s almost time! In a few short days, I’ll be packing my car up with (what I hope to be) everything I need for this epic journey I’m about to take. While doing my research for this road trip, I found a great way to plot out my path. Of course, because I’m the secretive…

    It’s not the end, it’s the beginning…

    First, let me start by saying it has been a long time since I’ve written for myself. I’ve spent almost 20 years writing for work in some capacity or another, so writing like this, it’s going to be challenging. But I have to do it because, for the first time in 12 years and 7…
