Wow, what an eventful day. Woke up in Skagway, which is a treat in and of itself. Yesterday, someone had told me that there was a nice hike by 3rd street, so I wanted to do that. But first, breakfast! It’s the most important meal of the day. I followed my nose into a...

Juneau, Alaska

Woke up, and the ship was going to get to Juneau a bit earlier than I expected! So I had a super fast shower on the ship, then lined up to disembark. Everyone on the ship seemed to have made good friends on the day or so it was off; it was funny to see all the people...

Ferry to Juneau

Woke up early to get showered and enjoy town a bit. I left the church / hostel, and made my way north to another totem park. A couple notes on totems: there’s ones scattered throughout town, as well. Ketchikan is kind of a totem-pole destination. There’s the main park...

Ketchikan, Alaska

Woke up at 5:30. This was good, because I wasn’t going to miss my ferry – but it was also bad, because who wants to wake up at that time? Stayed up too late playing Solitaire. Never even saw it get dark. Drove to the Ferry, where I checked in and got my tickets. This...

Prince Rupert, British Columbia

Slept well in Smithers, nice and quiet campground. Some of the parks are close to the major roads, so you’ll hear cars and trucks or see lights. Williams Lake was close to an industrial area and was bright the whole night through. It doesn’t bother me, because 1) I...

Smithers, British Columbia

Woke up in Prince George with a lot of driving to do - about 360 kilometers, or about 225 miles. But first things first - breakfast at Tim Horton's, because Canada! I started looking into the ferries, and was at first alarmed by the schedule - I would want to be on...

Prince George, British Columbia

Left the Williams Lake campground, by the rodeo. In the morning I met a guy named Tim. He had set up his tent right next to my spot, and was clearly traveling on his bicycle. He had a couple flags on his bicycle that I assumed were his nationality, but I was confused...

Del Norte Coast Redwoods, California

Del Norte Coast Redwoods, California

With sunrise, I could see more of Albee Creek. First of all, there are deer all over. Second of all, it’s a nice campground. EDITORS NOTE: IT’S RUBBISH COMPARED TO DEL NORTE COAST REDWOODS, BUT SO IS EVERYTHING ELSE. Talked with the rangers a bit to get advice for a...

North! It’s the 5th day and I’m within visible sight of SF. I’ve got to pick it up a bit. Left the hostel and used their limited wifi to check for places to stay. That failed so I think I ended up pulling over at a Starbucks a bit north of that. I settled on a...

San Francisco, California

San Francisco, California

Left Berkeley after walking around UC Berkeley (Cal) a bit. I love the vibe there; still hippy, still aggressively liberal. Funky place. I spent much of the rest of the day in San Francisco. It’s one of my favorite cities in the world; Dolores Park always has...

Berkeley, California

Crashed at Jerry’s house, my freshman year roommate at UCI! Now, Jerry has an interesting hobby: he’s an avid shooter, as in pistols and rifles. He took me to the range to fire off at some targets. I was hit-and-miss with the revolver, but got better throughout the...

Big Sur, California

Big Sur, California

I pack up, trying to figure out the most efficient way to do so, and decide that I need to drive around in the dunes a little bit. Why not? I’ve been here before, and know how to do it! Let some air out of the tires and go off-road. It’s fun, but I have so much stuff...

I am going to miss my dogs. Gave them some extra pets on my way out. Oh, and my family too. But mostly the dogs, right? It’s weird to see traffic and not know when you’re going to be in it again. Going through LA was, as usual, terrible. I should have left earlier,...
