West Coast Spring 2018 – Kamp Angst
July 3 – 6 Feeling a bit better the next morning we broke camp and with a short drive ahead of us, I considered duplicating Joanna’s hike and bike of the day before but once contemplated, realized I really wasn’t up for the exercise. So, we began our drive thinking we’d stop in Crescent City […]
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 – Petaluma
June 26 As we were meeting Joanna’s Uncle Matt and Aunt Shana in Napa at 10am, we got a move on early Tuesday morning, saying goodbye to Jessica and Kris as they went off to work, retrieving the car from the same garage we used before for $18, loading up, and hitting the road. Usually […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Yosemite, Part Two
June 18 – 20 Our plan for the day was to hike out of Happy Isles and take the Muir Trail towards Vernal Falls. Some folks in the group were either recovering from knee surgery or on their way towards it and so it was agreed that those who felt like it would go as […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Yosemite, Part One
June 18 – 20 After leaving San Luis Obispo and our hearty lunch, we made good time into Oakland and caught a break with the traffic. With luck on our side we found a spot on the street close to the apartment where we could park for the two hours needed to get us to […]
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 […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Morro Bay, Part One
June 18 – 20 With a familiar four-hour drive ahead of us to Morro Bay, we dawdled leaving Oakland, timing it so that we departed not long after Jessica and Kris left for work, needing to leave before 10am regardless as our on the street nearby expired at that time. On the road, just as […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Santa Fe, Part Three
May 29 – June 1 Our plan for the day was to drive to Los Alamos to tour the Bradbury Science Museum, part of the Manhattan Project National Historical Park which is comprised of various spots in the city. We figured we’d spend the day there and then return to town for dinner, first stopping […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Santa Fe, Part Two
May 29 – June 1 After breakfast in camp we drove back into Santa Fe, this time parking in one of the multi-story public garages for a fairly reasonable $11 for the whole day. With a few minutes to kill before the start of the tour and is our habit, we sought out coffee and […]
