Human powered exploration. Bicycles. Touring. Camping. Film Photography. Portland!
This isn't my first Stub Stewart cabin rodeo! Nope, after this trip, I've stayed at the cabins at Stub Stewart State Park a total of seven times: Three of them Cycle Wild New Years Trips in 2011, 2012, and 2013, plus a non New Year Cycle Wild Trip in 2014. There was the trip with... Continue Reading →
Another year is upon us! I've made a tradition since New Years 2007 of getting out of town for the holiday. After spending my first five years in town going to meh parties and/or trying to find a decent party (and in the case of 2006, doing nothing), I decided getting away would be better...

(But don't you worry, now that the weather is crap, I'll be going inside to drink coffee!) This one happened during my Stub Stewart camping trip, Oct 29-30. You can read the whole story...

Three separate overnight camping trips even in the middle of summer is a bit much. It's a lot easier to go out on a tour of even short length and "get into the swing of it", rather than string together separate overnights. The getting ready, getting out, coming back, and unpacking for only one night... Continue Reading →
