A week in Mazama

Our summer vacation this year was sort of 3 vacations right after each other. You've heard about the two smaller ones, our 3 day weekend on Lopez Island celebrating our 9th wedding anniversary and the 3 day Bumbershoot Festival . The highlight of my summer vacation time off started right after Bumbershoot...

The Fiberglass Anniversary

Christine and I spent the last 3 days in the San Juan Islands (a group of islands in Puget Sound, a couple hours from Seattle) celebrating our ninth wedding anniversary. We camped at Spencer Spit State Park, which is one of my favorite campgrounds for it's private campsites and good location and...

Hiking in Salt Lake City

After my couple of days in Spokane I visited Salt Lake City and Tuscarora, NV with my mom (who lives in DC). That was a great trip and I'll write about Tuscarora in a future blog post. I was more impressed with Salt Lake City than I expected to be. The city itself wasn't too attractive to me...

After NAHBS

NAHBS wasn't my only destination in Portland last weekend. On Saturday Christine drove down from Seattle and we met up with our friends Nate and Sam to head up for a weekend of snow on Mt Hood. We had a great mix of cross-country skiing (Trillium Lake), downhill skiing/snowboarding (Timberline),...

Gifford Pinchot memories

The last blog entry was a trip report -- what we did and how to do it yourself. Good stuff, but what really sticks with me are the memories: The last four miles to any campsite (usually uphill and muggy). The daisy that got stuck in my fender and rode along with us for about 20 miles on day two. The...

5 days and 200 miles in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest

Day 1 – Brush Prairie to Merrill Lake John and I loaded up the car early in the morning and drove down to Olympia to pick up Larry. In Olympia we had a nice breakfast, stocked up on food, and drove a couple of hours south the start of our trip. The weather on the trip down was a little worrisome as clear...

Back from my 2007 Bike Tour

This year's bike camping trip was probably the best one that I've ever been on. John Speare, Larry Leveen, and I spent 5 days riding around the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. Most of that time we were far from civilization. The roads were empty, remote, scenic, and challenging. I'm working...

A great travel blog

Sarah Erck and James Welles are touring around the world on bikes for their honeymoon. Today's post (The Suicide King) is a great example of why cyclotourists should be reading their blog. It's well written, funny, and informative. I met them just before they left. James was working at Microsoft...

Oregon Coast Trip

Christine and I spent last week along the Oregon coast. We had originally planned to go to Jamaica for diving but changed our plans when Christine injured her ears (due to diving with an unknown sinus infection). They'll heal but the doctor asked her not to fly for a couple of months. We spent 5 days...

A long weekend around Mt St Helens

Last weekend Christine and I took a 3.5 day vacation away from Seattle. On Friday we drove down to Lake Trout, WA for a couple of days of camping and rafting to celebrate our friend Sam's 30th birthday. We extended the trip until Monday to celebrate our 7th wedding anniversary. The rafting was a ton...
