After dropping my dad off at the airport I drove north a little ways to see my bestfriend and godson. They had flown up some days before to spend time with her dad’s family. I got to the Anderson house during Rachel’s birthday party, so I got to help celebrate a little. Thank you Anderson […]
Part 1
Part 1: DONE
The first part of my trip came to an end as I dropped off my dad at SeaTac and headed up to my best friend’s dad’s house just north of Seattle. I started part one on June 14, 2017 and ended July 3, 2017. During this time, I drove just over 57 hours and 3,153 […]

North Cascades NP
The drive to North Cascades National Park was a new experience for both my father and I. We had been on ferries before, but never with a car. This would be the first time we would drive up on to a ferry and cross the water. North Cascades National Park is split into two units, […]

Olympic NP
Mount Rainier was a blast, but I had to leave to go pick up a very important person to join me for the next little bit of my journey. My dad was flying into SeaTac then we’d be staying in downtown Seattle for the night. We had a GREAT dinner at Elliott’s Oyster House which […]

Mount Rainier NP
It was a fairly quick, smooth drive to Mount Rainier. I got into the National Park, drove to Cougar Rock Campground and picked a site that was open for the night. These campgrounds were very nicely organized and had a leveled area for a tent where I could access everything I needed including the fire-pit. […]

Keepin’ Portland Weird
Here is a really cool thing that this trip has allowed to happen. I hadn’t really talked to Julia since I was in high school (8 years ago), but we were friends on social media. When I originally posted about my trip, she had offered to host me while in the Portland area, if I […]
Crater Lake NP
The drive to Crater Lake was uneventful. I did still stop at any views, which this route consisted of stopping to take some pictures of the Sprague River and the tree lines. First things first, I needed to find a campsite. Depending on the time of year you visit Crater Lake there may, or may […]

California Dreamin’
So I planned on leaving on Tuesday the 13th after packing my car up. My little brother, Alex, and his girlfriend, KK, were visiting from Boston for the weekend, and would be working up the coast of California to San Francisco, leaving that same day. Well, by the time my car was loaded, it was […]

Channel Island NP
This post is just a bit late, but it’s finally getting posted! I have “un”officially started my journey and I was lucky enough to do it with two of my best friends and my favorite Little Man! Kelli, Megan, Wyatt and I drove out to Camarillo on Friday night and took a boat out first […]
Part One Planning (mostly)
So this trip is starting to get very real. I might be freaking out a little, but I got this 🙂 I officially have Part One planned. Right now, California is up in the air a bit, but I know when/where I will start (SLO for Memorial Day Weekend) & when/where I will end (Arnold, […]
