Yesterday we said goodbye to Aluminarium over at Stub Stewart and headed to Silver Falls State Park for two nights, where we met up with more Airstream friends: the Hardersen family (Pete, Kathy, their son, his girlfriend, and two family friends). This is exactly what it's like here: Last night's…

After we finished up some work today we headed out on the bikes and decided to ride to Banks (the other half of the Banks-Vernonia Trail ride that we did yesterday). This is such a great trail. These are all taken with my iPhone right from my bike-mount while riding…
Comments closedWe grabbed the Airstream and came out to Stub Stewart State Park yesterday afternoon to meet up with some friends. After stopping at Trader Joe’s, Camping World, and suffering the world’s longest wait for propane at the nearby Pilot (they’re not usually that bad), we were on our way and…
1 CommentAfter we left Detroit Lake we met up with Tiffani and Deke over at Walton Lake Campground in the Ochoco National Forest in Central Oregon. This is a gorgeous little lake with campsites on both sides. There are no hookups (and only a tiny bit of Verizon service). We arrived…
Comments closedWell aren't these nice? Kinda high end for camping, but still worth ooohing and ahhing over, don't you think? This is the Martin Safari Chair in Leather, from Lewis Drake British Campaign Furniture, $695. Durable buffalo hide leather seat with reinforced corners quickly slips over the frame. Weighs only 13 pounds and…

The combination of all the hiking trails along the coastal bluffs, the funky Hitchcock history (The Birds!!!), the friends we met the first time…
5 CommentsRemember last May when we told you we were being interviewed and photographed for an article on Airstreaming for Coastal Living Magazine (along with Kristiana Spaulding and Deke & Tiffani Waters)? Well here it is! Coastal Living April 2014 is available on newsstands now. I haven't found a copy yet (here,…
2 CommentsIt rained and rained and rained all night, and this morning as we started our Monday workday in the Airstream, surprise! It was raining. We'd talked about doing a slightly abbreviated version of yesterday's hike today if there was a break in the weather, but we decided we still wanted…
Comments closedYesterday (during the only, very short break in the rain) we hiked from our campsite over to South Falls. Still beautiful. We went into town (Silverton) last night and had a little Valentine's Day dinner at the Silver Grille. It was quite nice. They did a several course prix fixe…
