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 – 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 Summer 2017 – Kamp Angst
August 13-16 It was a festive night at Kamp Angst that evening as we celebrated yet another gathering at this place that means so much to us. Coming here was the first trip Joanna and I took as a couple not long after we moved in together in 1981 and we’ve returned almost every year […]
