As we sat in our cozy little tent in rainy Olympic National Park we were thankful for 1,000 miles safely traveled. Primarily following Hwy 1, the Pacific Coast Highway, we have meandered our way north along the beautiful west coast. We have had some rough spots along the road; equipment not functioning as expected, constant

We made it! We are on the road and headed north! Praise God! It hardly seems real after more than ten years of dreaming and planning and preparing. <Pinching myself> Ouch! It’s Real. Our big excitement yesterday, Day 1 of trip, was me running out of gas, haha :). First time that has ever happened

There are worse things than being stuck in beautiful northern California. Especially when you are surrounded by so many friends who are happy to have some extra time with you! So, we are trying to have a positive attitude and not get too stressed out about our delayed departure. I, Chris, have been working on
