9/21 – Petite Sirah and Plans
Don’t talk to me I’m drinking — I mean, thinking....
Why So Beautiful, Part 1: Wyoming, Montana, and some Tetons edition. August 6-10, 2014.
This post is all about the scenery. I feel like a changed person; there was the me before Wyoming, Montana, and Beartooth Pass, and now there’s a person who is ruined for this world. Okay, that’s a bit dramatic. I was simply lost in the scenic beauty in this...
9/20 – Out of juice at the ninja playground
I couldn’t resist trying the parkour gym I found online. Happily, everything is padded....
9/19 – Simple luxuries

9/15 – Inflight to Hayes Valley

9/14 – Less than ninja
Encouraging to remember that if my cousin lets the rope slip, I’d land on his head. I met a number of rock climbers on the road, often heading to some awesome climbing destination I had no idea about before. It reignited an interest in me, and I’ve been looking...
9/13 – It’s Saturday!
This Saturday feels like a Saturday. Days of the weeks are mostly meaningless on the road....
