In which we need some water, we cross some mountains, and enter a very different place called Bulgaria.
-
In which we write a Dear John letter to Chile, our old flame, we meets wonderful Moroccan family and we eat great food.

Fort Bragg – Gualala River – Cloverdale, CA I’m not sure we’ve ever experienced quite the confluence of bikers that we saw over the last few days. Sure, we occasionally see other people bike touring – although on our big trip a few years ago we didn’t see a single other bike tourer until we…

Scotia – Richardson Grove State Park – Fort Bragg, California So I mentioned that our friend Corey had caught up to us last night. Kind of a convoluted story. Corey has never been a big biker, but he is a big skier and runner. Of all our friends, he is probably the one who thinks…

Brandon/Port Orford KOA – Harris Beach State Park, OR – Crescent City, CA (via Jedediah Smith State Park) – Sue-Meg State Park When I was about twelve years old our family took a Vacation-like trip to San Diego, where my Dad had some conference for work. We all piled in the Ford Fairmont station wagon.…

Umqua Lighthouse State Park – Bandon/Port Orford KOA, Oregon This is a story about raccoons. I tell you that because you might be kind of confused otherwise. Part I. The story starts last December. I’m heading out for a ski with our daughter Lauren. It’s been warm and rainy, but it snowed a little the…

Seaside – Barview Jetty County Park – Lincoln City – Beachside State Park Recreation Area – Umqua Lighthouse State Park, Oregon I’ve been struggling with whether I should even bother writing a blog at all for this trip – because it is more in the nature of a vacation than an exploratory journey. It’s not…

Bay Center, Washington – Seaside, Oregon (Note that this was “yesterday’s post” – but Internet here in Oregon seems pretty abysmal, so it’s a little on the late side…) A number of years ago I visited the Grand Canyon with my daughter Ellie and her friend Reese. I was pretty excited to enjoy one of…

Olympia – Rainbow Falls State Park – Bay City, Washington (the Bay City Rollers are not from here – we checked . . .) We learned some new vocabulary today. And very useful vocabulary, at that. I mean, not the kind you might use in Scrabble, but very useful nonetheless. Who doesn’t need a new…

Seatac Airport – Olympia, Washington I wouldn’t say that day one was that eventful, really, The highlight for me was probably the happy realization that Washington is, I think, the biggest apple producing state in the country. But even with that, it’s not like the U.P. or anything. The U.P. is really the perfect place…

Dionne Warwick has long been one of my favorite artists – so a pretty obvious title here. Of course, don’t assume that Dr. Liu has any affinity for the star of Walk on By, and Solid Gold fame. Reality is that my wife would be pretty mortified with the association – way too sappy for…
