Cycling the West Coast: Lost Coast or Bust! [Day 21]

Day 21 We tried to get out of Eureka early before traffic got too crazy. As soon as we got out of town, we stopped at a McDonald’s for a breakfast sandwich before pedaling toward Ferndale.

Cycling the West Coast: Fish Tacos and Scenic Drives! [Day 20]

Exploring the coast of Trinidad

Day 20 I woke up feeling very refreshed, it’s the best I have felt in the last few days. After a breakfast of fruit and granola, we stopped by the elk to see them once more before we left. I sure love the calm, dark mornings in the redwoods, I’m not sure why, but it’s just easy on my soul. Related: […]

Cycling the West Coast: Climbing into the Redwoods! [Day 18 & 19]

Redwoods

Day 18 I woke up around 3 am to a horrific, blood-curdling scream. The person was outside the church screaming in pain and yelling for the suffering to end. What I woke up to was someone overdosing, and paramedics quickly arrived on the scene to get him to help. Related: Cycling the West Coast: California! [Day 17] – SnowBrains I […]

Cycling the West Coast: California! [Day 17]

Made it to California.

Day 17 I woke up feeling not much better than the day before, but I had just under 30 miles to get into town to meet my father. Luckily, the road was very flat, and I could cruise into California. The weather called for non-stop rain, which, honestly, I enjoyed. At this point, I have been on the road long […]

Day 15 Camping with Flurin means starting the day jamming out to “On The Road Again” by Willie Nelson. I stayed around to check out the tide pools in the morning, and so did a school field trip. It was a nice reminder that I’m glad I’m not teaching kids or trying to herd them around. Related: Cycling the West Coast: […]

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. The first 15 miles went quickly, so I took a little break and read an informative sign on Jedidiah Smith and his explorations. As I read the sign, I heard a loud, sharp “pop!” I looked over, and […]

Day 11 & 12 The Memorial Day weekend was well spent with family. Despite the rain dumping buckets the entire weekend, we were able to hit the beach, fly kites, explore tide pools, and check out some sea lions. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t itching to get back on the road. I feel like, I’ve had my fair […]

Lake Tahoe, CA Backcountry Report: A Record 77″ of Snow in 48-Hours Made The Powder Skiing Special

Report from March 1, 2023 March came thundering in with style yesterday. After being pinned in our house for a full day on Tuesday due to too much snow (Palisades Tahoe reported a record 77″ of snow in 48-hours), a 2-foot-deep unplowed road, all ski resorts closed, and a desire to stay safe we decided to finally roll out of […]
