Horse Linto Campground

E May 29, 2023May 30, 2023 Leave a comment

Soon after bringing Gia into my life we traveled to Humboldt County, CA to visit some lifelong friends who knew and loved my first two dogs (Nohkuma “Kuma” and Willow). After a short visit where my friends put themselves on the line to help socialize Gia the possibility arose for a camping and fishing trip …

Heading High(er) For Some Snow Camping

E April 2, 2022December 4, 2022 Leave a comment

My last dog, Kuma, was a Northern Breed (predominantly Karelian Bear Dog). When he was in his prime we played and camped in snowy conditions regularly. With Willow being a shorter-haired sun and heat enthusiast I have substantially cut back on my normal winter camping schedule. To keep both of us on our toes we …

A Relaxed Rattlesnake Encounter

A Relaxed Rattlesnake Encounter

We were down in the Arizona desert hanging out for a few days before meeting up with friends. Our spot was a few miles outside of Quartzsite at a place we have stayed a few times before. Out of the way, the barest hint of freeway noise, no one around during the week and a …

The Hall of the Mountain King

E July 9, 2019July 9, 2019 1 Comment

Arriving in the area just in time for the annual chili cook-off sponsored by the Whiskey Runners Motorcycle Club we decided to find a different spot from our normal place near the base of Saddle Mountain. Turning off of West Courthouse Rd onto West Salome Highway right under the Highline power lines we saw some …

Fish Creek Primitive Camp

E February 11, 2019July 9, 2019 2 Comments

Heading back west for more desert exploration we stopped first in order to check out the Ocotillo Wells SVRA. That first night, instead of camping in the SVRA itself, we took the opportunity to stay on the fringes of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, camp near the mouth of Fish Creek Wash and use the primitive …

Salt Creek Falls

E December 8, 2018December 9, 2018 Leave a comment

Our time in the Central Oregon area had eventually come to an end. We headed south out of La Pine before turning off Highway 97 to eventually head west on Highway 58. Not long after transitioning to the Willamette Highway we saw a sign directing us to yet another waterfall and so made the quick …

McKay Crossing Campground and McKay Falls

E November 29, 2018July 9, 2019 1 Comment

The friend we were traveling with for a while wanted to check out the Descend On Bend gathering. We decided to let him pay the $75 fee (the cheapest ticket package, they go up from there), be our BETA tester and let us know what he thought while we hung out in the general area …

Exploring A Nameless Caldera

E September 28, 2018September 28, 2018 Leave a comment

When we decided to stay in the area and explore as many of the attractions the Newberry National Volcanic Monument has to offer we needed to find a free camping spot in the Deschutes National Forest. Since we’ve been hanging out with a friend who travels in a “Skoolie” (converted school bus) with minimal ground clearance …

Cascadia State Park

E September 14, 2018September 14, 2018 Leave a comment

While hanging out below Three Creek Lake in Sisters we decided to be as wasteful and inefficient as possible and take the drive over into Lebanon to pick up our mail at the UPS Store. On the way there along Hwy 20 we saw signs for Cascadia State Park and liked the name. Once we …
