For the past year, in my going-pretty-good-so-far attempt of making Kerri fall in love with me, I have brought her coffee in bed every single morning. As a result of the coffee ritual, a breakfast-taco ritual was implemented. The new ritual was needed to get her out of bed, otherwise...
We left the Yuma area, early Sunday morning, to cross into Mexico and make the 120 mile drive to San Felipe on the eastern coast of the Baja peninsula. Everything went smoothly crossing the border other than the fact that we made four attempts at finding the right place to...
Even though the van barely got used after the v3.0 build, Big Blue needed an update with the upcoming trip to Mexico to include another person. To make matters worse, that other person was a girl (gasp!). How was she going to go to the bathroom? Where would she do...
Yep, that’s right. As of the 1st of the year we had moved into the van. It took another 3 days to move everything we wanted out of the Airstream and into the van, but by the 3rd the Airstream was in storage and we were 100% official van-tramps. We...

In 2016 the plan is to visit Baja Mexico for the winter, Colorado Rockies in the Spring and Summer, then back to Grand Teton for an early Autumn kayaking/backpacking adventure. As the year comes to a close we will travel down the Northern Sierras in Oregon and California then spending...
After an early Xmas with Kerri’s family in the South Bay last weekend, we did make it down to Borrego Springs in one and a half days of driving. It is nice to be back in Borrego Springs as it holds a special place in both our hearts as the...
John Muir has always been somewhat of a hero to me. Not only was he a minimalist and naturalist, he was easily the loudest voice in the creation of our National Park’s system in America. If it were not for John Muir, Yosemite would not exist today at all, and...
For most of my life I have lived within a few short hours drive from the North Bay and Point Reyes National Seashore. Twice I drove right past it on my way to other places. Never had I thought to even pop in to see what all the excitement was...
