There is no denying my love for hiking, camping and seeing the best of what nature has to offer. One of the most underrated aspects of doing activities like that, is the act of getting to those places. That's where road trips come into play. "The road trip" is a kind of rite of passage … Continue reading steez you can hear Vol.19: Road Trippin’
I've been to Big Basin before, you can check it out here, but this time was different. For 1, I had company; 2, I knew what I was doing and 3, I knew where to go. This made everything so much easier this time around. Tyler, Brian and myself (aka "THE WOLFPACK") were in Northern … Continue reading Trails to Trudge: Big Basin Buzzard’s Roost
During the last year and a half, I've trudged trails all the way up the California coast and even some in Oregon and Nevada.

I'm anxious to get home yet not at all ready at the same time." - October 22, 2017, 9:22pm, El Capitan … Continue reading Day 32: Full Circle

Because of the enormous King Range, there weren’t any highways built through it and it remains one … Continue reading Day 20: Shelter Cove

Once I got out of my sleeping bag, the cold rushed to my body clinging to me and making me shiver as I slowly … Continue reading Day 15: Mission Control
