Los Angeles was the city to date that we’ve spent the most time in. Our hosts were amazing, but when you are in a city as big as LA its hard to see and do everything. Day 69 – 73 October 10 – October 14, 2014 Miles 8256 – 8286 After a long…
The Channel Islands are a national park off of the coast of CA which we almost missed. The park consists of several islands, but the real gem is the marine life that surrounds the islands. Water sports are a must if you want to see the Channel Islands. Day 69 October 10, 2014 Miles 8135…

Sonoma was a rare chance for us to enjoy some time of luxury; wine tasting, enjoying the sun, and dancing the night a way at a wedding. A nice change of pace from the hiking and camping we had been doing elsewhere. Days 62 – 65 October 3 – October 6, 2014 Miles 7298…
Yosemite was one of the stops we were looking forward to the most. It seems that nearly everyone you ask says Yosemite is their favorite national park.

San Francisco is one of Jon’s favorite cities, so we allowed ourselves more time here; from Fisherman’s Wharf to the Cable Car Museum and renting bikes, we really explored the city. Days 48 – 54 September 19 – September 25, 2014 Miles 6425 – 6559 We arrived in San Francisco late in the day and checked…
More than anything else, looking at the giant redwood trees made me feel small. It was like being shrunken and exploring a forest. Days 46 – 48 September 17 – September 19, 2014 Miles 5596 – 6425 The day started out the same as most days we have during our the trip; Jon worked…
