WTF!?
This is going to be eventful…I’m going to Grayland, WA which is in Gray’s Harbor County…before I go to Seattle today.
Look it up, I swear it exists.
Due time for an update I suppose.
I have been in Portland, OR for just shy of two weeks now. In that time I have decided that I want to live here, recognized the struggle to find work and housing in such short notice, decided I don’t want to stop travelling yet, and met some pretty cool folks who I will mention later. The Portland area or more specifically the urban region is really big...

Photos from the Mendecino region of California.
More soon enough, not feeling wordy at the moment.

in Portland, big updates later.

Here is what you have been (hopefully) waiting...

These two are close geographically but I don’t remember where specifically I was, only that I was much further north than cobra beach which was only a few miles north of Santa Cruz.
These three were taken at the first “Drive through tree”...
Photos soon! Today even!!
Why my day has started off better than yours.
…Also, I am eating coffee cake..with a great cup of coffee. what’s the rub you ask? It’s Nectarine Peach Ginger Coffee Cake! Fresh baked just some 20 minutes before I got to it.
This is some way to start the day.
Currently in Ferndale having driven from a camp site in the middle of the Avenue of the Giants. That drive was absolutely breathtaking and I was fortunate enough to have been able to drive along it this morning doing little more than 30mph most of the way. Don’t worry, I have photos, just not in the place to work on them again…they keep “piling” up and having the time to...
