TGIF! I'm thinking about springtime in Crested Butte for some reason. This is one of my all time favorite photos. I took it on Elk Avenue in bustling downtown CB. 

There was one year I drove to Colorado 5 times. I have a habit of going back to places I love. I've never been to WY, ID, MT, or even UT. I'd like to do the national parks tour there. Meanwhile, possibility is this weekend, at least Saturday night may do some camping in Wekiva Springs, …

It's that time of year. When springtime rolls around, I always start checking the driving distance from Florida to Oregon. Then, I check airfares. I've been checking a few weeks now. The Seaside Hostel on the Necanicum River on the coast of Oregon is one of my all time favorite places.

Coyote tells us about the Firefly Primitive Skills Gathering:

A twisty maze of passages, this random walk is, so hang in there while we casually start the day with a few things to think of. Thanks to Swami Worldtraveler for pointing out the photo above. It's taken at a recent launch and found on an Air Force website, according to the credit. Crystal clear! This is our Space…

I met Kristian at the Hawthorne Hostel in Portland, just as he was heading out to India in July, 2009. Here's a link to his Zoobird page: http://www.zoobird.com/profile/KristianStieglelr

Today’s {BotD} Bike of the Day is a Brompton folding bike…

Bromptons have been around for years. They’re made in England. I spotted this one at the Hawthorne Hostel in Portland, Oregon. It’s not the first folding bike I’ve seen at the

I'm headed out tomorrow to SF and staying at the Green Tortoise Hostel (and my bud Mike's house) I'll be dividing time between SF and Berkeley. Stay tuned! I hear the Green Tortoise is a great hostel.
Anyone have any experience staying there?
