Starting the Fourth Year on the Road
It was April in 2015 that I left my job and headed out on the road towards unknown destinations. As I am getting ready to take off again for new unknowns, I thought I’d take a look back at those first weeks on the road. It took longer than I had anticipated to prepare my…

Favorite Places
Out of all of the places that I have visited on this journey so far, there is one spot that want to return to again and again. I spent most of August and September of 2015 driving around the Tetons, looking for the ideal boondocking spot. It took me a while, but here it is: …

Merry Christmas
Near the end of my journey in 2015, Mom booked a cruise for the family to the Caribbean for Christmas. Here’s a lovely memory of the full moon over Saint Martin as we departed on Christmas Eve. Here’s wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Beautiful
I stopped in New Orleans at Easter in 2016, on my way to Colorado from Florida. There are many parts of the city that are sad and decrepit, parts that were so before Katrina and didn’t change afterward. But there is much to cherish about the city and the zest for life that seems to…

Driggs, Idaho
I spent a week here in September of 2015. There is a free campground at Rainey Bridge that is good for a 14 day stay. Recommended.

California Striped Bass
Last winter I spent three months trying to catch steelhead trout from California’s north coast rivers, and in three months I caught one adult fish. I’ve been here in Corte Madera for two weeks and I’ve already tripled my fish count from last year! Last weekend I got the best one, but with a really…
