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 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 […]

West Coast Tour 2016 – Kamp Angst/Rogue River – Part Two
Timeline: September 19-24 We arose the next morning ready for another big breakfast and weren’t disappointed. This is not fancy food, but it is good quality and there is plenty of it, something like eating at home if your Mom was a good cook. We made our own sandwiches this time, packed up our […]

West Coast Tour 2016 – Bend
Timeline: September 15-18 The drive to Bend wouldn’t take long so we dawdled a bit in the morning before heading south on the I-5 to cross over the Cascades at Salem. As we’ve posted about Bend before when visiting my brother, I’ll condense this report on our visit as much of it was taken up […]

Having done some pre-packing the night before, we broke camp early and were out by about 7:30am. It was quiet in Moab, a Sunday morning […]
