Also tagged panama, santa catalina, scuba coiba, the sea, wildlifeJust in case you’ve been wondering what has been keeping me, this is where I’ve been.

Also tagged on the highway, signage, usaI cross the state line from Oregon into California with only an ancient map of California at my disposal. Each time I unfold it the paper tears and crumbles some more. The coastal cycle route is clearly signposted on the highway but, for no particular reason, I cut-off Highway 101 inland onto Route 197 towards […]
Also tagged california, friends, usa, wildfoodI continue on my way down the valley crossing a deep fast flowing bright green river. As the shadows lengthen, a sign indicating the Dragonfly Provincial Campground opportunely appears and I find myself on the shore of a narrow lake. Low mountains lie opposite, higher snow-covered mountains to one end of the lake and open […]
