About Me

My Cannondale mountain bike in the middle of a gold mining tail in Folsom, CA

Travel-Related Shit Posting

Since February 2024, I have been living mostly outdoors as a migrant seasonal worker.

On this blog, I review campgrounds, hiking trails, restaurants, & travel gear. I may discuss my PTSD as it relates to outdoors accessibility issues.

Please note that I am not always able to respond to comments right away as I frequently travel out of service range, and scheduled posts may continue to self publish during this time.
