Itinerary – Zeke Speaks

Across The Divide

The High Rockies are high. 🚌 While getting my hair cut in Denver, of course, I commented to the barber on the quantity of prisons here in Colorado. It turns out he’d been incarcerated for 7 years of a 10 year sentence because he relayed a message that was apparently…

Still here. In the Bay that is. Plenty more tasty rides with Mme Awesome. Lots done on the bus, though not complete. In case I haven’t made plain, I’ve had a whale of a time deciding on the propane plan. For instance, we have a nice, ubiquitous Coleman camp stove…

Returning

At last! A load of sun this week has made for decent trails and, therefore, today’s partial JM shuttle. Specifically, at the end of Big Trees I rode back up the paved road and turned back to go again on the trail I’d just finished. I’d never done quite that,…

Making Room

January 8, 2019 Facts Itinerary Travelling No Comments

A table came into our lives about 20 years ago. It was purchased from Ohmega Salvage, evidence again to the maxim Everything is for sale, even though, when the unnamed buyer walked in, it wasn’t. It lived first in the lower “bedroom” of the condo. Then, when that room became…

We keep being 2-3 days from home. Now we’re en route to Sequoia National Park, arriving after dark. Tomorrow we’ll see some magnificence, spend another night and then, maybe I guess, head back. Today en route we stopped to enjoy the Kern River. Neither of us have been this far…

I watched a Ramping Isometrics video on this skills site to which I actually give money. Also this, which I luv and sounds deliciously familiar. Is not yoga a way to get stronger in certain positions? If you want to be better at something, we practice, right? Then why not…

Today is another anniversary from leaving the Bay Area. Seven! We woke up at our frigid campsite near Flagstaff and agreed it is time to head back. While we feel better than yesterday, the truth is we are ready to take a breather. This would have been the time to…

Heading West, Per The Plan

We left Albuquerque pretty early for us. Headed for Herrera Coach to drop off the bus bench we’d left at M. B’s place, specifically, in the garage. This reuse idea was of course Mme Awesome’s. By the way, driving for a bit also hauling a chair which is most obviously…

We need to be back in CA by November 6 to vote. Stopping at Crestone for 3 nights and Albuquerque for one along the way. Google maps say 1 day 15 hours at speeds we can’t sustain. 1231 miles, then 252, with the last leg 1074. A grand total of…

We are back to spending the night at a rest area. Extremely civilized, darling. At long last, we have left New England. It’s been over a month since we showed up. Many terrific people. Wonderful times. Won’t miss the parkways or mud. Great to see friends and family. Looking forward…
