Recap of my trip to LA from 3/13/2025 -> 3/19/2025 13th Flew to LA, checked the bike no problem (this was my first time flying with my bike). I borrowed a bike bag from a friend, it was pretty easy to pack. Flight delayed 1 hour, so I walked six miles in the airport. Few weirdos on the flight. Got to bed around midnight. Bike all packed up: The Cat: 14th

Recap of our trip to Kauai, HI from 2025-02-05 to 2025-02-12. 2025-02-05: Landed after a 7 hour flight due to a strong head wind, but we had the middle seat open! It was raining as we walked over to Avis to pick up the rental car, but it was that nice Hawaii mist rain so it felt good. Guy at Avis tells us there are no small sedans left (what we rented) so instead we get a 2023 Ford F-150 XLT…

Travel/Stay Spent three days in Glacier National Park this summer, and it was one of my favorite visits. We flew into Kalispell and stayed in Columbia Falls. It was a great little town to stay in with a short 20 mintue drive to the park entrance. During peak season with the Going to The Sun Road open, its critical to get into the park early. We’d pack a cooler with snacks, cold water (it gets pretty hot during the day) and head out as early as possible (Trying to park before 6:30am).

Background Had the opportunity to hike half dome via the (John Muir Trail) JMT on July 10th, 2024. It was a fantastic hike and I wanted to record the experience and a few ways to approach the hike. Red = Mist trail Green = John Muir Trail Yellow Line = Ascent from Nevada Falls to Half Dome Blue line = Panorama Trail (Not hiked/referenced below) We put in for the permit lottery when it opened up.
