The Bantam at Horsetail Falls, 29 April 2023. Olympus Pen EES-2/Ilford Delta 400 It's become a thing for me: After the first bike camping trip of the season, reflect on what happened, the good and the bad. This is what happened after my Champoeg trip last year. And now it's time for me to analyze... Continue Reading →
Eugene, Oregon lies about 100 or so miles south of Portland. It's the state's second-or-third largest city, depending on the year. 1 Despite its size, it still feels like an overgrown town than real city. It's hard for me to not compare it to another college town I have experience with, New Haven, Connecticut. New... Continue Reading →

The easiest way to make it spicy is by doing a ride in another location that's not Portland. Doing it in another state, and especially... Continue Reading →
Hey folks. If you hadn’t already figured out via Flickr or instagram, I’m in Houston, Texas. We’re down here to visit Emee’s family for Thanksgiving, though due to the expense and nightmare of traveling right at the holiday, we came early (Thursday) and are actually leaving on Thanksgiving Thursday. Now Houston is definitely not a... Continue Reading →
Last time we checked in with you fine folks I was complaining about the weather, how after a hot and dry first two thirds of October we moved straight into winter. It was a good three weeks of much rain. Yeah, there were a few breaks, but dark and damp dominated. We basically got all... Continue Reading →
