  On June 13th, I flew across Montana toward South Dakota in hopes of making it to Mount Rushmore. The clouds had been following me throughout the previous couple of weeks, and they were waiting at Mount Rushmore when I arrived just before the sun set behind the mountains. Fortunately they had already [...]]]></description>

I had to stop a moment and take it in. It’s been a wet and busy last couple of days driving. Once I was determined to go north, I made it my mission to get here as quickly as possible.  I sped up Interstate 5, meeting the Canadian [...]]]></description>

I must be the only person to lodge overnight in the Sonoma valley who did not attend a single wine tasting. How to do it? Spend the majority of the day at the Laundromat, washing clothes and updating your blog.

After my laundry and computer work I stopped at the Black Bear Inn restaurant, where [...]]]></description>

The squeak in the steering was just that; I was ready to get back on the road after a little tightening, an oil change, and $96 later. I did a cursory check of the fluid and tire pressure.  That’s when I discovered the passenger [...]]]></description>

Los Angeles is an interesting place. There are interesting people and interesting landmarks. But Los Angeles is not pretty. Actually, it’s quite ugly. Everywhere. Unless you live in a many million-dollar palace in Beverly Hills, or on a hill, chances are your home will be in a pretty yucky locale.


That’s why [...]]]></description>

Today I had planned to drive toward northern Arizona via Highway 160 and on to Highway 89, skirting through southern Utah. However at Shiprock, New Mexico I unknowingly began heading south. Only after an hour of driving and gut feeling did I stop and ask what road I was driving. [...]]]></description>
