April 14, 2024: Car-Free SR20

I rode from Diablo Lake Lookout to Washington Pass. I shot time lapse 360 images (Insta360 X2) while recording GPS coordinates (Komoot on Android). Then I combined them into an interactive UI (mini demo screen recording in this post’s video). Granted, it’s a little hard to watch 1 frame per second on a shaky, beat…

Hawaii : Kauai : June 2022

I flew out with Phineas and James, hung out in the Islander on the Beach with them, and James’ friend Patti, for a few days, then got a ride up into the Koke’e State Park with all my gear. This wasn’t my original plan, but James was getting the car anyways and it turned out…

There’s…

USA : Washington & Oregon : June 2017

Cyclepacking. Summer 2017, and ultimate freedom. Assuming you’re not incarcerated or (effectively) indentured, and this is no small assumption, the primary obstacle to freedom is want, in the sense of being “in want” for food, shelter, transportation and other things we need to live, be comfortable, and seek happiness. If you accept this premise, I…

Mexico : Baja : April 2017

It took three days to drive from Seattle to Lake Elsinore, covering a distance about the same as I will cover over the following 5 weeks as I bike down to San Jose del Cabo at the tip of the Baja peninsula. My first day on the bike I cover about 60 miles and get…
