West Coast Spring 2018 – San Juan Island, Part Three
July 17 – 20 Leaving English Camp, we continued south onto West Side Road, stopping briefly at one of a number of Alpaca Farms, the animals having been recently shaved to harvest their wool and keep them cool in the summer heat. Not long after that we arrived at Lime Kiln Point State Park, a […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – San Juan Island, Part Two
July 17 – 20 As planned, we took off the next morning on our bikes to attempt a ride around the island. Turning left out of the resort onto Roche Harbor Road we continued north to the tip of the island, skirting its airport and making a brief stop at Roche Harbor there before turning […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – San Juan Island, Part One
July 17 – 20 The drive up to Sidney didn’t take long and with about two hours before sailing we located the dock from which we’d depart and then drove a mile or so into downtown to look for a place to eat. It’s a nice little spot on the island, a few blocks crowded […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Victoria, Part Three
July 14 – 16 With another glorious morning ahead of us (good weather would follow us the whole trip) we set out on the bikes on a route laid out in a cycling map that our campground host loaned me. We’d end up with 26.5 miles in total and almost circle the peninsula. The first […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Victoria, Part Two
July 14 – 16 We’d opted for the in-camp breakfast the next morning which for us included the Belgian Waffles (1 waffle using their free-range eggs served with homemade berry sauce and syrup with whipped cream) and the scrambled eggs (2 free-range eggs scrambled, Canadian Bacon and 2 slices of homemade toast with homemade jam), […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Victoria, Part One
July 14 – 16 With a three hour drive ahead of us to clear customs and catch our 12:45 ferry from Port Angeles to Victoria, we wanted to leave plenty of time for Jenny Manetta to bugger things up, we made sure we were out the door by 8:00am. Just before hitting the road we […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park
June 30 – July 2 We broke camp the next morning and with a nice four-hour drive ahead of us stopped in Fort Bragg for a breakfast at the coffee joint we’d visited in prior trips, Headlands Coffeehouse. It was crowded when we arrived with just one small table open, which we grabbed while ordering […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Russian Gulch State Park, Part Two
June 27 – 29 Joanna had a 1:00pm appointment at one of her favorite stables, Ricochet Ridge Ranch, the next day, just north of the Fort Bragg city limits. She has ridden here a number of times before and likes the general sense of freedom they give you on the horse (you don’t have to […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Russian Gulch State Park
June 27 – 29 After a pretty good breakfast at the Best Western, we loaded up the car and headed out, for what we’d originally anticipated would be a short drive, but turned out to be longer as we opted to head to Highway 1 instead of Highway 101 for the journey to Russian Gulch […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Morro Bay, Part Two
June 18 – 20 The next morning after spending some time in camp we set out for our days activities. First up was the short drive into Morro Bay where we introduced Kim and Marty to the Sun-N-Buns Bakery where we enjoyed a romp through their pastry selection. From there it was out to Montana […]
