san diego till end of JUNE

I arrived back on Edgemont days before Thanksgiving and I've been around, then gone, and around again. I don't intend to start a long journey until after the Devoted premiere in Los Angeles June 28th 2017.  

I have many look back library events in the works that will take me away from the house for a few days to a few weeks at a time, but overall I'll be in San Diego for a long while and I'd love to make you tacos. 

Hit me up....

 the big news is that we said goodbye to the ramp to make way for more magazines

I witnessed my buddy Jeff participate in a guitar battle

we played doms and ate pokez

I steered the final SDRRFM of 2016 - the next one is mar 12th

and this morning I soaked at Remington

seriously - hit me up... i'll make tacos or take you for a walk.

Kenny & I in EASTERN OREGON

the

Kenny took a week off work and we took off to the far SE edge of the state of Oregon. First stop was Bagby where Kenny soaked for the first time. We slept in the parking lot and headed to Breitenbush for some investigation the next morning. 

after a fine day at the retreat center, we went to the river to inspect the old springs

stayed the night in Bend, then headed out to find the springs in Paulina Lake

the wind was fierce, but the water was hot....Ken did the digging

Tried taking a short cut and got stuck in the snow. Frustrating, but we got out with teamwork.

groovy sunset at Harney Lake - the springs wasn't worth a soaking

good decision - Kenny got pickles

1st time at Alvord HS for the both of us.

with some plumbing adjustments, we brought the temp down

seemed like rain was coming in, but it never did

couldn't find the springs at Borax Lake - but we got a good hike in

Kenny only tented it one night. most nights he was on the floor of the van

couldn't believe we had Umpqua to ourselves.... the solitude didn't last long

just a few miles from Umpqua, is the Tokatee Falls

the North Umpqua River

PRI in Eugene - met Tonto at his art gallery

we both wanted to hit Silver Falls State Park - south falls was first

north falls from the top

north falls from inside & underneath

isn't that pretty

north falls from around the low bend

upper north falls

6 days out, 5 hot springs {2 new to me}, 6 waterfalls, one killer pizza.

summer 2016

blog posts have been highly spotty this year...  my primary focus has been my classic skate mag exhibit tour,

I post many photos on Instagram. Follow me @travelingfreebox and/or @lookbacklibrary
