Astoria, Oregon
Just like Cannon, Astoria has a dumb blanket no camping law that makes zero sense. 1) My van isn’t an encampment. 2) I’m not sleeping in a tent. I figured under the bridge would be a fitting place to “camp” in Astoria. Cliché, but kind of rad. Saturday morning, around 4am, I hear this racket…

Backcountry, Washington
I came across the unfortunate story of an American found in a ditch somewhere in Mexico last week. This guy amassed more adventure in 6 years than a handful of people could ever have in a lifetime. I’ve been blowing the opportunity. I haven’t even scratched the surface. Turns out, over the last several weeks…

La Fortuna, Baja
I get asked a lot where my favorite spots are in Baja. It’s an easy answer; the East Cape. The surf report looked excellent so I went out to Fortuna for a few days to get sun fucked and salty. When the waves finally showed up they showed up. By afternoon it was double overhead. …

El Marinero, Baja
Living in San Jo, there’s always something to do. The weekends start off with Thursday’s Art Walk and run well into the wee hours of Monday morning. Developing new friendships with local people and one gringa, Amanda. Saturday Edu and me hit up the Organic Market. The market is where one would source authentic, craft…

San José del Cabo, Baja
Being alone felt right—clear head, no noise. But after a while, the quiet got old. I went back to Orange County. A few months there and I was climbing the walls. Baja was the only fix—empty roads, warm water, cheap beer, and freedom. I spent three weeks heading south, rang in the New Year in…

Cannon Beach, Oregon
We had a great week after Hood River. I met up with some buddies in Portland for a night of beer drinking. I think it was a pretty long day for all of us. It’s rare for three dudes to look at one another inside a strip club and all come up with the same…

The Hood, Oregon
Its easy to take for granted the beauty and awesomeness of the outdoors. All day is spent outside getting waterlogged and sunfucked. Riley is free to roam wherever he chooses. Usually he’s within site but if he’s not its no big deal. A quick whistle and he pops his head up somewhere. There’s no such…

Florence, Oregon
On Friday I pointed Red north towards Eugene to get a solid charge on the battery bank. I’ve been plagued with mechanical issues since the start. I spent 2 months deep in Mexico and not one problem. So far I’ve been on a tow truck, seen two mechanics, pulled out the tool box way to…

Southern Oregon
Out here for two weeks, I felt like I needed to write but nothing was coming to mind. Then one day an old man came rolling through camp asking if the river was any good for fishing. I told I didn’t think so. “Don’t take my word for it though, go down and see for…

South Lake Tahoe, CA
Since I left Bellingham on Saturday the last couple of days have been non-stop driving. I hate non-stop driving. It feels like a job. On my way back I wanted to check out two more towns in Oregon. Bend and Ashland. Saturday night I arrived in Bend and there was a full blown street party…

Hood River, Oregon
Last night I rolled into Hood River after a pretty eventful weekend in PDX. Portland, is getting top marks right now for next location destination. Oregon as a whole has been pretty awesome. The people are nice and friendly. The scenery is jaw dropping. The local businesses have flavor. Even the weather has been great.…
