Cycling the West Coast: Backroads and Burritos! [Day 15] Day 15 Camping with Flurin means starting the day jamming out to “On The Road Again” by Willie Nelson.ย I stayed around to check out the tide pools in the morning, and so did a school field trip.

Cycling the West Coast: First Flat Tire! [Day 14] Day 14 I had an early start this morning to try and get into the Coos Bay area at a decent time.

Cycling the West Coast: The Little Big Sur!

Cycling the West Coast: On the Road Again! [Day 9] Day 9 I left Cape Lookout State Park early this morning to try and beat the rain that was supposed to hit in the afternoon.

Cycling the West Coast: Tillamooook! [Day 7 And 8] Day 7 I woke up to Flurin jamming out on his concertina, which I didn’t know what it was, but to me, it resembled a miniature accordion. The concertina solo was followed up by a sing-along to the iconic “On The Road Again” by Willie Nelson.
