ACA Idaho Trails Relaxed, Part Ten
June 24 – July 26, 2021 We started around 8 am the next morning by loading our bikes into a trailer for transport to the Route of the Hiawatha trailhead, and then climbed into an old school bus for our shuttle there as well. During its time, this trail was also known as one of […]
ACA Idaho Trails Relaxed, Part Nine
June 24 – July 26, 2021 With a three-hour drive to the midafternoon start of the bike tour in Heyburn State Park just outside of Plummer, Idaho, we hung out in the room until checkout at noon. Plummer is the largest city within the Coeur d’Alene Reservation and knowing we had a busy last day […]
ACA Idaho Trails Relaxed, Part Eight
June 24 – July 26, 2021 Our drive to Richland, Washington the next day would take a little less than six hours, meaning we didn’t have to rush out of camp early in the morning. Heir Angst had recommended that we stop along the way to check out the Stonehenge Memorial just off the I-84. […]
ACA Idaho Trails Relaxed, Part Seven
June 24 – July 26, 2021 Finished with our snack, we drove the Highway 101 causeway across Young’s Bay and entered Astoria proper, ready for another full afternoon. Our primary stop that afternoon would be the Flavel House Museum, built in 1885 in the Queen Anne architectural style, by George Flavel, a Columbia River bar […]
ACA Idaho Trails Relaxed, Part Six
June 24 – July 26, 2021 The Tillamook Creamery is just off the highway as you run through town, a new facility that opened in 2018 and now hosts over 1.3 million tourists each year. Visitors can learn about the cheesemaking, cheese packaging, and the ice cream-making processes from a viewing gallery over the main […]
ACA Idaho Trails Relaxed, Part Five
June 24 – July 26, 2021 Our one full day in Waldport would be spent pursuing those activities that mean a lot to us and no, that isn’t drinking beer. Joanna would drive south on the 101 past the Sea Lion Caves to C&M Stables for her appointment an equestrian ramble to the beach and […]
ACA Idaho Trails Relaxed, Part Two
June 24 – July 26, 2021 Leaving the smokejumpers museum, we cruised back to Cave Junction for lunch at Taylor’s Sausage, a regular stop for us each time we visit the area. Although they feature an extensive menu of eat in and to go items, we always land on the same couple of options, usually […]
Hot Springs 2021, Part Five
May 13 – 24, 2021 Our next day in Henderson would be a full one, starting with dropping off the BMW at the dealer to replace a burned-out driving light. Leaving it until later in the day, we all made our way to one of the highlights of the weekend, Meow Wolf’s Omega Mart. It […]
Buellton Bike Weekend Spring 2021, Part Two
We met Tony over at Ellen’s Pancake House again for breakfast and although the oatmeal the day before was really good (with plenty of raisins, brown sugar, and walnuts to mix in) I went for two slices of French Toast and Joanna attempted to finish the Monte Cristo, a special of the day. Her sandwich […]
Buellton Bike Weekend Spring 2021, Part One
April 16 – 19 As the pandemic begins to subside (as of this writing both Joanna and I are fully vaccinated) we can begin to pursue a more aggressive travel agenda, one that will fill the second half of 2021 much as we did in 2019 after our move back to Los Angeles. We did […]
