Hart Hill Bob’s Build
Trip Date: May 4, 2022
This was the first trip up the Hill for Bob and we had planned on devoting our time to building his cabin. Last year he got the foundation, floor, and the deck in, and covered it well to protect it from the winter. Now it was time to get vertical and get some framing done,…
Mojave National Preserve IV
Trip Date: April 11, 2022
I believe this trip may have been born at a family gathering at the American River last Fall, although it seemed to be upon us all of a sudden. I was just coming off the ball joint failure on the Tundra so I was a little reluctant to drive down, so I hopped in with…
Hart Hill; First Successful Trip of 2022
Trip Date: April 5, 2022
Mike and I had tried to get up here in mid-March, but we were repulsed barely 50’ inside the lower gate. The weather had been hot already in Sacramento with a couple of 90 degree days. It was sunny and clear for weeks with no end in sight. On our way up, all indications were…

Trip Date: September 20, 2021
I believe this was our 4th trip up the Oregon Coast in 4 successive years (except last year because we went to Death Valley with Haley and Brett to look at a possible wedding venue), if you count the first trip, which was technically to Jedediah Smith State Park, but we did cross the border…
Hart Hill; Just Me, the Mousy, and the Cranes
Trip Date: September 13, 2021
This was the only chance I had to come up in September, with all of Haley’s wedding events going on and our trip up the Oregon Coast. Mike always has a busy October Fest music calendar, even in the insane Pandemic and the Delta variant outbreak. So, it was just me and Irene, and the…
