Everything I Learned on the Washington Road Trip

Posted on: 1 August 2021 /

Categories: road trips, Travel

Editor’s Note: This was mostly written back in August 2021, and I just didn’t publish it then. My bad. I filled in two lines, and now it’s done, and I’m gonna pretend it was done a year ago. So there. This is not actually everything. And some of these things I already knew. Ben and I

A Couple Days around Tahoe in the Spring

You know, there are people out there who own and maintain blogs for the purpose of building an audience and making money. I do it mostly to make fun of my future self, I think. Or maybe to enable future self to make fun of past self. Whatever. I’m sure there’s mocking involved. The dog

The “Loneliest Road in America” Is Fine

Posted on: 4 June 2019 /

Categories: road trips

This refers to Highway 50 going across Nevada. I’ve driven lonelier. On this trip I drove lonelier. That stretch from Elko, Nev. to Snowville, Utah, for instance, much lonelier. And uglier. Whatever, I guess. We started this part of the trip in Ely, Nev., which based on my short trip to the one grocery store

From Here to Great Basin

Posted on: 3 June 2019 /

Categories: road trips

To celebrate the end of the school year I left town, which is kind of counterintuitive from the standpoint that Logan is just a lot nicer when all the students leave and things don’t feel quite as crowded. Except on Saturday when all of Franklin County, Idaho comes to town, which is just kind of

Ski Spring Break: Big Sky, Jackson, and Grand Targhee

They were all better than Sun Valley. The Mountain Collective pass I bought for this ski season included both Big Sky and Jackson Hole Mountain Resort (JHMR). And then there was spring break in March, so: northward, ho! I’d never been to Big Sky before, although I’d driven down that highway from Bozeman to West

Bend > Tacoma > Red Lodge > Cache Valley > Blog Post

These blog posts are pretty perfunctory. Go somewhere, post about it a year later because you feel like you have to. One day I’ll look back at all these posts and understand how I never had the time to become an astronaut. On the last full day I was in Bend, Aela and I hiked

Oregon Tourist Hike II: Green Lakes Hike

Posted on: 4 May 2019 /

Categories: Hiking, road trips, Travel

Next up on the Bend-area tourist hike agenda was the Green Lakes hike that, somewhat predictably, leads to Green Lakes. This would be the longest hike my dog had ever attempted. Would she make it? Whatever, here’s a little commentary and some photos from the hike. Started at the Green Lakes Trailhead (!). The hike

Oregon Tourist Hike I: Tumalo Falls and Creek

Posted on: 3 May 2019 /

Categories: Hiking, road trips, Travel

I did nothing but tourist hikes on this trip. TBH, though, I think pretty much every hike you can do out of Bend ends up being a tourist hike. Kind of like when you go to the Wind Rivers and there are a million other people there even though it really shouldn’t be a tourist

Oregon Trails: Road-Tripping with the Corgi

Posted on: 2 May 2019 /

Categories: Cities, road trips

The dog does not like being stuck in the car for hours at a time. Legitimately, my goal for this summer is to find a way to get the dog to ride in the car in relative comfort and happiness without sitting on my lap. Mal sehen. Last summer, we took a long road trip

Move to Utah, Car 2: via Leadville

So I have two cars. One is the Jeep. The Jeep’s journey from Norman, Okla. to Cache Valley is chronicled under separate cover. Then there’s Car 2. My house in Utah was going to close on April 27th, but I still had to be in Oklahoma teaching until May 10th or so. Some point around
