Adventures along the journey, thoughts, people and places. We'll send out an update once a month with the latest.
Big Bear, California. Camped just over 6,000 feet in the San Bernardino Mountains we found the Hanna Flats Loop trail to spend the day hiking and trail running. The trail winds through previously burned pine forests revealing large smooth boulders that dot the trail. We saw several mountain bikers and other hikers, but for the […]
Bigger is better; in the case of batteries for overlanding. In the planning process for building out our battery and solar system we found there is a lot of information out there, but little that applied and that was relevant to our situation and charging capabilities. Each system is unique to your own power needs […]

In the high mountains of Big Bear, we found ourselves craving some sautéed asparagus. We found some organic asparagus at the local market and used ingredients from our camp kitchen to fill in the rest. This is a great side dish to add to any main course and is really simple to prepare. This […]
We arrived to La Punta, a small yet trendy beach town, just south of Puerto Escondido at the end of Playa Zicatela in the afternoon on New Years Eve 2018. The streets were bustling with people, cars, dogs, motos and venders. The heat was unrelenting. We found a nice quiet place to park near Cafe […]
