Had a great morning at Telo but had to keep going south. South means heat and camping spot had little to offer including a lack of cool. It was late had to get journal updated and wanted it with comfort. Hotel cheap and had a bed. What more could I ask for? Gas nearby if…

I woke after a text from Wendy. With time difference it was 4 on west coast clock. Her second text apologized for the hour of first. While not awake I was on that edge all night. Anxious yes but anxiety no. Never really asleep but once fully awake not tired and excited for the future…

Early riser again and thank all proper I do. It’s still chilly when I wake which means so is car. I plugged in destination and it kept going to hwy 108 better known at least by me as Sonara Pass, one of the highest passes in country at 9600 feet it is the steepest road…

56 miles from Yosemite and a good camp with showers near reservoir, hello mayflies, not crowded and due to a rather large disappointment the perfect spot. Bright and early as per usual today was going to be my long hike day at least the Mist trail and perhaps some of the Muir as well. The…

Campgrounds getting more expensive and harder to find. Often times for even a single person it’s more than a not cheap hotel without luxury of bed, shower, and WiFi for loading. You’ll notice I made no mention of television easily one of best things about this trip is my complete lack of knowledge of current…

My mouth feels very good especially considering being on the road with my road naivety but all has turned out extremely well. Woke as usual and did a solid food thing all groovy. Started early with short hike a did yesterday still beautiful but no surprises. Wouldn’t know till later I should have stopped. Groovy…

I blame yogi for all this. Jelly stone park!!! Never having been to a national park till a bit ago the only one you ever hear of is Yellowstone. As I’ve clearly stated before Yellowstone blows. Too many people all of which lack the civility of an influencer looking for likes and you and I…

Woke as usual. Nothing here open at my hour. Had some chunky tuna and while tasty after a few bites I’m getting concerned about dentistry. It’s enough for my hike and I’ll do scrambled eggs after. still went to town and got bills caught up. Doing whatever this is solo obviously has upside especially the…

Extremely quiet peaceful perfect for a good sleep. Pee o’clock still exists so did that round 3 but after checking mouth(not bloody) I took my pills read for a bit and didn’t really wake to 7. Took care of all things morningish. Carefully brushed teeth with new soft toothbrush designed for kids, put on real…

Wanted to hit American land with no choice of going through Canada It does sound peculiar but there’s a place Point Roberts Washington. It hangs to side of Washington but like a discarded limb it’s not connected. One must go through Canada no choice in the matter. It’s the only place in this situation so…
