Time Period: July 29 – August 28 Miles Driven: 2764 The last segment of our Summer 2009 travels was wrapping up our cross country adventure and arriving for Burning Man. With a month ahead of us to get there, we looked for ways to optimize backroads and scenic routes. We aimed to visit a few […]
Travelogues
Travelogue: Philadelphia, DC, Appalachians & St Louis
Time Period: June 30 — July 29 Miles Driven: 1904 We had no plans for how to spend the summer. We had toyed with the idea of finding a nice campground in the Smokey Mountains and parking for several weeks to catch up on some work projects. We had toyed with ducking into Canada and […]
Travelogue: St. Louis to Indiana
Time Period: June 12 – June 29 Miles Driven: 799 After a couple of weeks of our adventures being driven on visiting family in Texas and St. Louis, our attentions turned to social time with new and old friends.

Travelogue: Loop to Hohenwald
Time period: May 18 – June 11, 2009 Miles Driven: 677 After arriving in St. Louis for Mother’s Day and learning that Chris’ grandmother’s surgery would be scheduled in early June, we opted to take the opportunity to divert down to Hohenwald, TN to visit the folks at the Oliver Travel Trailer factory for some […]

Travelogue: Arizona and New Mexico
Time Period: April 9 – April 23, 2009 Miles Driven: 1255 With very few planned stops and knowing that Arizona and New Mexico were both full of amazing things to see, we opted to primarily follow Route 66 across these states, using the old highway as our guide. We had both traveled across Arizona and […]
Travelogue: California Exodus
Time Period: March 22 – April 9, 2009 Miles Driven: 991 On the morning of March 22, 2009 we pulled up the jacks in South San Francisco, hitched up and made a mad dash out of California. Well, mad dash in a nomadic sense. We didn’t actually cross the border into Arizona for another 2 […]
Travelogue: Florida, Bahamas and Washington, DC
and I recently left the house behind and went traveling the old fashion way – by plane and ship. We had two missions in mind – I needed to teach a class in DC for a client, and we had missed the holidays with family due to work commitments in the San Francisco area. So […]
Travelogue: Seattle Trip
We recently did a quick trip up to Seattle so that I could teach a training class for one of my clients. We had to get back much quicker than we were originally planning, so that we could start on our new work contract back here in San Francisco. On the way up, we of […]
