Amtrak – Flix Bus Weekend, Part One
September 26 – 30 Camping at Jalama Beach State Park earlier in the month whetted our appetite for a trip we’d long thought about taking, that is to ride the train to or from Oakland to see Jessica and Kris. After examining our options, we decided that going to the Bay Area would be the […]
On the Road Again 2019, Part Six
August 24 – September 6 As planned, we left late in the morning for the drive up to Tioga Pass and Tuolumne Meadows. The road is only open for a limited time each year due to heavy snow and is generally not accessible until late June or early July. We’ve driven this way a few […]

August 24 – September 6 After a couple of doctor’s appointments on Monday (the curse of getting older) we took off on Hwy 101 for Santa Barbara. A destination and turnaround point for countless bike rides, we’d spent quite a bit of time there while Jessica attended UCSB and looked forward to reconnecting with the […]
