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.…

Guessing the mileage is near 2,500 miles. It was 2,200 yesterday and I forgot to mention it, and I put on ~240 miles today, so.. I’m not catching the round numbers very well. I don’t care. Passed a sign today that warned of “sunken grade” which apparently is notifying that the earth under the road…

That means do nothing but laundry day. Got up late. Well, late for the tip, eight. First, I went for coffee. On the way to the Maritime Museum I saw a boat and decided to chase it down to the bridge, so I could send a picture to my boat nerd sister. (I’m a bigger…

Mount St. Helens I have always been fascinated with MSH. It erupted when I was in grade school and I think it was the first time I understood that nature can whip your ass any time she wants to. My Dad went to Seattle for work about a year after and brought back a pen…

More mountains, but this time not as boring! I came out of the Idaho mountains and crossed the great plains of Washington. It was like a mashup of everything I’d seen so far. Rolling hills (SD), but they’re covered in trees (WY). Significant hills (MT) and mountains (ID) in the distance, and lakes (MN) here…

Missouri Headwaters The only official stop today was at the headwaters of the Missouri river. I paid the fee online, which was handy since I didn’t have cash for an envelope. And now I am sure I’m going to receive emails about the joys of the Montana State Park system. The headwaters themselves were closed.…
