State Plates: 38/50 Not much doing today, mostly driving. We stopped for lunch and a walk in Canon Beach. This beach sported a wide collection of giant rocks not far from land, a feature of Oregon that seemed to start abruptly at the state line. I wonder if that’s how Read more…
State Plates: 38/50 So it turns out California does have an end, you just have to take a week off work to find it. Along today’s drive we stopped at a few overlooks, a secluded cove and a spout called Thor’s Well. I prefer to call it Thor’s butthole, because Read more…
These photos are all of a single tree. I’ve photographed some info on it. Since the pictures don’t do it justice, perhaps the story can breathe some life into them.
State Plates: 36/50 Photographing the redwoods is a fool’s errand if ever there was one. Here are a bunch of pictures we took of the redwoods. Some of these are over a thousand years old and stand more than 300 feet tall. In person they don’t look real. Or maybe Read more…

State plates: 28/50 Today was a hazy and lazy drive up the coast, through SF, over the Golden Gate Bridge and up into Napa. The early part was very interesting, with what felt like multiple biomes all in one spot. There was farming right up to the water, with heartland Read more…
