4,000 miles! Up early to get a jump on any storm that may have deposited 2 feel of snow on us, but that didn’t happen. Got to drive through much desert and experience the long hot roads. Temperature only got up to the low 80’s until later in the day when we got to 90.…

My day so far. Left the mountain lodge, which was really nice but had no laundry facilities. Rather than take the advice of both GPS (one in car and one on phone) I turned right instead of left. Both GPS units began a campaign to convince me what I was doing was wrong and would…

On the way out of town I stopped to say goodbye to the Pacific Ocean. Sad, but happy for the experience of seeing her again. Was ready to leave Monterey. My head was getting tangled with memories of the past and knitted brows of the future. Tonight I’m getting early sleep and a good day…

Spent the day wandering about thinking of things and remembering things. Ate a few things. Bought a Big Sur Bixby Bridge fridge magnet. I joined the Marine Corps at the last minute of 1988, went to boot camp in the first minute of 1989. When I signed up they really liked me, so they let…

Heading out from San Francisco, I stopped by the Golden Gate bridge bright and early, got a spot in the parking lot, and got to walk the bridge. The bridge has been a thing for me for some time. There is a great documentary about The Bridge that I’ve watched countless times. Everyone gets that…

Zero day, no driving. Except I think I drove 100 miles, easy. And all of those miles WITH THE TOP DOWN! It was wonderful wonderful! I think the day started around 60 but got up to 75 at one point. Wind in my hair indeed! I’m feeling my depression more than any other day on…

Not a bad day, lots of twisties, which I never get tired of. Hours of them, and I’m still happily bopping along, going quick but not foolishly. Had some issues with the sights today. The first one was Bowling Ball Beach. Hard to find the trailhead, and even then the closest I could get would…

Just posting to say that I might not be posting tonight. I just got checked into my hotel room at my favorite hotel on the planet. Hotel del Sol on Webster in San Francisco. They upgraded me to a suite, I got in the room and couldn’t figure out where the bed was. I was…

From a dark room, my original intent was being alone in my car driving down a desolate coast with no other people around. It’s been me alone but with one or more imaginary companions at a time, talking to strangers and driving through a million small towns. I’m good with that. I feel like raw…

It was a good day to drive. Storm warning had google telling me 101 was going to be closed, or was already. If so, there aren’t a lot of alternate routes, so I just plowed ahead. The rain was similar to yesterday. anything from Threatening to rain, to drizzle, all the way up to deluge.…
