Yin and Yang I wasn't really planning on hitting these two spots as it was a bit out of the way on my route but I ran into a few people on a hike that raved about it. Granted, I made my decision not go out of the way based mostly on photos because really, dark caves wasn't really my things. Still,
Fall Glory I did a quick road trip to upstate NY for a retreat and catch the fall colors. I rarely plan a trip around a specific season but since moving to the Midwest, it was on the back of my mind for a while since all my years in California didn't encourage thinking in seasons. Even though the trip was mostly
Small and Mighty After Big Bend NP, I stopped by a rather famous 'ghosttown' of Terlingua, which is about 30 west of the park. It definitely an interesting place with a very interesting cemetery but probably not worth more than one visit!

From 5k to 100 miles, people of all sizes and shapes are out there going beyond their comfort zone. You can see all the photos from
Intimate Gatherings I've enjoyed my share of big festivals such as Burning Man and Wanderlust during my time in the Bay Area so I couldn't resist Barefoot and Free yoga festival at within an hour of my home.

A 3 month journey into the Pacific Northwest. The first leg of my most epic road trip in an RV.
