Annie Creek SnowPark is down the highway a short distance from where we are camped and the drop in elevation means little to no snow there. We scoped out a route on Google Maps the best we could given the near lack of internet we have. Off we went! Well, the loop we planned was …
We are way behind on blog posts. Our internet here is horrible so it’s difficult to upload pictures or even write a blog post. We think the snowy part of spring might finally be over and the last few days have been warm and sunny. Last week we went to Spence Mountain in Klamath Falls …
After taking a couple short travel days, we arrived at Annie Springs in Crater Lake National Park in a blizzard. What are we doing here you ask? Derek and I are living in our trailer here over the summer and earning some extra money. He is working as a chef and I am working in …
Highlight reels are fun quick snapshots of greatness and this post is just that. Derek and I just completed our third year of living and traveling full time in our trailer. Looking back on the year is fun and remembering all the great experiences is priceless. So here we go, in no particular order: Happy …
During our finally week in Bend we rode more of our old favorites which look a lot like all the other trails in Bend so we didn’t take any pics. However, Edison to Lava Lake and back was the final ride and we snapped a few photos. For some reason this ride isn’t very popular. …
Another week in Bend is in the books! Before the weather turned too frigid we rode a couple of our old higher elevation favorites and were not disappointed. On a cloudy cool day we rode Charlton/Waldo/Twins loop which is rewarding for it’s beauty. The campgrounds around Waldo are closed, and it was a weekday so …
We haven’t been back to Bend since we left almost three years ago…until now. We waited for the summer smoke to end and finally made our way here for a few weeks before continuing south for the winter. Luckily we have friends with property and room for our trailer so we’re able to boondock in …
Derek and I first rode this mixed gravel/paved route back in 2016 and loved it. Since then, Dirty Freehub has produced a modified route that adds on a section down to Priest Hole and around. It’s a great route but not for novice gravel riders. If you are new to gravel I’d stick to the …
Derek and I rode Lookout Mountain loop back in 2004 with Cogwild and instantly loved it. The loop is 19.5 miles with 3654′ of climbing up to 6931′. The weather was a bit iffy and we got sprinkled on at one point. This made for less than clear views but we enjoyed them anyway. My …
We are inching our way closer to Bend for a visit. After a quick ride around Phillips Lake where we were camped, we picked up and moved to the Ochocos. We are boondocking in the forest on familiar turf. Back when we lived in Bend we rode the Cougar Creek Trail as an out and …
