Blog: Broke-Ass Stuart's Goddamn Website - 17 February 2010
This past weekend my lady and I went to a wedding up in the Mendocino hills. The wedding was just as lovely as the surrounding scenery and the best part was that it was as far from a traditional ceremony as you could imagine.

Southbound, to Arches National Park
Blog: The Road Chose Me - 50,000kms of ebb and flow - 15 October 2009
On a beautiful crisp fall morning I move south, out of Yellowstone and quickly find myself in the middle of the Grand Tetons. Rest assured, they are as impressive as their reputation would have you believe. Wanting to move a good distance south, I spontaneously think Granite Hot Spring might be a nice place to [...]

I spend another chilly night in Idaho, this time clearly below freezing as indicated by the chunks of ice in my water bottles. I am pleasantly surprised by the beautiful fall day – the sun is beaming down from a perfectly clear blue sky. Driving East is breathtaking, with endless mountains sticking up on all [...]

Of course I choose to keep going North, snow or no snow I’ve been told by many different people about Goldbug (Elk Bend) Hot Spring and I’ve seen enough pictures and heard many stories that make it a must visit. I get stuck into the scenic two mile hike, walking up a rocky valley the [...]

In the morning I struggle to unzip the fly on my tent.. the zippers seem to be sticking for some reason. It hits me like a slap in the face when I realize what’s going on. It snowed last night! I’m shocked and grinning from ear to ear as I wander around in the still below freezing [...]

The next morning the weather is a bit cooler, just perfect for hot springing. I had planned on driving further up the same road past Rocky Canyon, where there is a string of hot springs but a bridge is out for repair work, so I move on. First for the day is Campground Hot Spring [...]

Moving along I find myself at Skinnydipper Hot Spring, with a brutal half mile hike basically straight up. It’s about 85 degrees and the trail is rocky and dusty – not the best weather for hot springing, but hey, I can’t complain Arriving at the spring I’m excited to meet Ken and Harley, the [...]

Hot Spring Hunting in Idaho
Blog: The Road Chose Me - 50,000kms of ebb and flow - 3 October 2009
I feel such a connection to people these days I get a bit choked up saying goodbye to Jeff and Andee. I’ve always found goodbyes pretty crappy and this one is no different. Driving East on interstate 84 I can’t stop thinking that it might be a very long time before I see them again. [...]

Years ago when I worked at Kirkwood in California my randomly assigned room mate was Jeff, who is now one of my closest friends. In the years since we’ve seen each other a couple of times in Portland and are long overdue another visit. My lack of cell phone made the rendezvous a little painful, [...]

Wandering around Victoria it feels fitting the last place I am spending time in Canada is also the first place I visited here. I say goodbye to Mike, Roger and Canada and jump on the ferry to Port Angeles, Washington. I’ve been living in Canada for over two years now and have throughly enjoyed myself, [...]

Video Edition: Hot Springs National Park
Blog: Tales from Technomadia - 6 July 2009
I love when nomadic serendipity takes us to experiences that we couldn’t even imagine a day prior. While driving northward towards St. Louis, we decided to route through Arkansas up scenic byway 7. This put us overnighting around Hot Springs, Arkansas. We looked around, and discovered there was a national park and campground, so that [...]

Campground Review: Gulpha Gorge @ Hot Springs National Park
Blog: Tales from Technomadia - 28 May 2009
Hot Springs National Park in Hot Springs, AR is one of the most unusual National Parks in the nation. First off, it is the smallest National Park, by far. And secondly – rather than the usual focus on preserving natural features – most of the hot springs here have been thoroughly developed, and the primary attraction [...]
