I started the long trek home today. It was great to get away, but all good things must come to an end. 740 miles to go.
UPDATE: I made it. Nearly 700 miles on just the i5. it’s good to be home. (12 hours of driving, wow)

We went to an amazing farmers market in Eugene to fuel up for a wonderful hike. Wonderful trails and great bird watching. Got some great photos. Then it was off to portland (after a snack). I managed to get us lost and eventually blazed my own trail (where i shouldn’t have) and was left with 2 flat tires. my roadside assistance plan hooked us up with the craziest tow truck driver ever. a great guy from san diego who was excited to see other californians. He towed us to costco and even hung out for a while waiting for our friend. Thanks again Denise! After that we snacked at Burgerville a eco friendly (and delicious) fast food joint. And nested at Denise’s place. here are some photos. Now i’m off to Costco to get some new tires and then we’ll explore the city. i hear they have a giant bookstore here.
After a handful of slows days, we’re packing up and shipping out to Eugene. We’ll stay there for the night, check out some local hot springs and eventually make it up to Portland.
Just a few amazing moments.
Thanks to a sliver of verizon and some patience. I can post an update. I arrived at the campsite near Grant’s Pass. I’ll be here for a bit and off the grid (mostly). Enjoying nature, the cold, and stars (something that you only think you have living in Los Angeles).
Goodbye California, i’m off. See you later.
I just found my iWeb travel blog from my trip to mexico 3.5 years ago. Reading my adventures reminded me of what a great time i had. I need to get out of the US more often. I have a few ideas in the works to bed my wonderlust. We’ll see which idea pans out (or entices others)

I wrote it in iWeb originally because it easily let you work offline and publish whenever you have internet. Now i use the wordpress app for iPhone!! (maybe i’ll migrate the posts here, one day)
UPDATE: That day has come. now you can visit those posts here!
After the tour we met up with a friend Eric had made on his previous visit. We met up for more drinks and wonderful conversation. A really great guy with a lovely fiancé. He is building a Tequila factory of his own. As the day came to an end, we had to pack our car and get back on the road. The sun was setting on the agave fields as we drove on to Morelia.
