In search of our correct orbit
SF with a car… not fun.

I went back to Clooney’s with Pooh and my Father last night after parking the van in SF. Clooney’s felt like being back in the family living room with relatives happy to see us again and a strong Gin and Soda. The tonic flavor syrup is consistently absent and the soda a bit flat. The stories told…

Just having Coffee in Ashland, OR. Heading to the Bay Area next

Back to Bellingham, camp in Larabee State Park. The park has water access and beautiful hikes back up the mountain behind. September light and temperatures are perfect.

After basking in the September sunshine and freedom over the border with our friends to the north we are heading south again. Let us know if we’re passing you by chance?

Gerry got a new engine, new lights and rust on the roof patched up.

Biking at the marina. That’s a new folding e-bike Crystal got for commuting to work. She loves it!

Counting down the days until we leave Bellingham. 15 more. Crystal keeps finding new hikes (and restaurants) to try.

We're in Bellingham now. Crystal has been working as a Hygienist, and we're thinking about our next move. We'll be heading to California with a new proposition for hygienists:

"The Hygienist's Sabbatical Service"

Crystal does your job, and I feed your pet while you travel.

Anyone?

Beautiful flowers in Grand Teton

Passing through Park City Saturday we saw some street art with a shattered glass cover and a metal sign proclaiming Banksy. There were about 3 of us waiting to get a clean picture of it while this girl stood in front of it looking at her phone. Then Crystal realized she was part of it.

Each time we cross Utah we find fresh things to explore and great BLM land to camp on. We explored Goblin Valley first thing in the morning and then headed on to see Crystal’s Grandmother in Cedar City.

We finally left NOLA Monday, heading to Bellingham. It’s been a month since we slept in the van. Last night we stayed on a vineyard in Texas. The rain came and cooled us, then got strong and lightning flashed around us as the van rocked in the wind. Pooh declared a ‘Bath Day’ in the morning.

Key West. We missed Florida on our last cross country road trip 2022. This corner of the country has been on our list for a long time. It’s a little more difficult to navigate with a bird than New Orleans, but we are finding some old gems.

Charleston was fun, we had some great food and met up with a colleague from Shutterfly, but I got sick and a storm came through. We got a reservation at an RV Park to recover. Hot showers, laundry, WiFi. Pooh decided it was bath day for him too. He took over the sink since we had ‘full hookups’.

Hiking with Tyler outside Atlanta on our way to Augusta Georgia. We love to meet our friends/family where they live.

Favorite bier garden outside of Germany. Bratz Y’all. When in the Bywater stop here for beer sausages and live music

My cousin Clay has been introducing us to all kinds of quirky little parades like Krew Of Toast. Spent the afternoon wandering the streets of the Bywater with all these beautifully dressed fools and their airstream toaster float.

It froze last night but the sun is out. We had to try out the Bywater Bakery

Pooh getting clean and greeting people in the neighborhood

Made our way as far as the Garden District today in the Becak. Then returned exhausted for a great Po’ Boy in the Bywater at Frady’s One Stop. So good.
February 11, 2025 at 10:21 PM
Got our becak out and hit the town. We did some bar hopping and stopped in to see Iko the cockatoo on Burgundy in the French Quarter.
February 7, 2025 at 3:14 AM
We finally crossed the Louisiana border
February 4, 2025 at 11:06 PM
Houston, we have a problem. Pooh who has been cooped up in a pet shop while we were traveling Baja, made his way to the top of a very tall tree in a beer garden. Visited with Veronica on our way to New Orleans
