I’m on the road. Left a few weeks ago, and should finish sometime in Nov. I plan to take video and pictures. Posting the pictures while on the road and saving the video for when I’m done. Be sure to check the site over the next few months for updates like this one.
Beginning of my trip involved taking a friend up to Idaho. Pretty much just a lot of driving. Getting out of California was unbearably hot, Donner Pass was a welcome relief, Reno was a lot cleaner than I remember, penny slots are good for free beer, and buffets aren’t as much fun as I remember. Eventually we made it to Idaho. Here’s a few shots.
Plenty of brush fires had just rolled through Nevada, leaving black dust to turn in the dirt devils…
The last of the barren Nevada landscape before the green rich valley surrounding Boise, ID….
Now on my way back to california, trying to find a dirt road up into one of these hills for a nights sleep…
Spotted some antelope running through farm land while I bounced up a dirt road towards the mountains, things are always super skittish around this time of year, no fun getting shot at every Fall..
After hitting one too many rocks with the undercarriage I decided to make this spot camp..
Thunderstorm rolled through to the north. Watched the whole thing and didn’t feel a drop of rain. The wind was insane. I was more worried about the canoe on top of the car while I was sitting here then when I was on the highway…
The mountains I was trying to get up into before the rocks had a go at my van…
Your right, sunset…
Little reminder to always be safe on the road, you can see his trailer in the background….
Speaking of being safe, I should clean my windshield….
Will be updating again in a few days. Canoe will be in the water. Thanks!

Fantastic!! Didn’t know if you were going to do videos/pictures this time. So glad you did. Your pictures and videos make me feel I am, right there with you, and since it is the only way I travel these days, I should probably be paying a fair! Can’t wait for the pictures of Lake Tahoe. Would love a story about the changing weather conditions on the lake. It might help me to know I wasn’t just a crazy little kid, and no wonder I got scared!! Hugs to Nora, pictures please of her sweet face. Wish she was here, the racoons have had children and shelter is now their playground, along with pool parties in the pond. Big hugs to you both!!

P.S. (you know I always have to do a second comment..) while feeding this morning heard someone shouting my name, finally looked up in the sky and almost close enough to touch was the plane carrying the Explorer! Lots of fighter jets and helicopters near by. What an experience that was. I got goose bumps it was just amazing.

Jordan – Have a great trip! The photo’s are beautiful. I know a little about dirt roads, happened upon one while traveling in Maine this summmer. My VW Camper DOES NOT LIKE rough, dirt roads! I thought I would never get to the end of it. I hope to get out west one day. Have fun!

I meant the “Endeavor” which was ‘exploring’ the west coast!
