We caught the train headed from Sacramento to San Luis Obispo. According to our understanding, there was room for all three of us to wwoof at Bill's hostel operation near there. I was tired, for some reason, and ready to sleep a bit on the train. While ... Read more >

We arranged our tickets so that we would spend the night in Sacramento and catch the train the next day in order to enjoy the view in daylight. We would stay in a hostel in a historical building. We fell out of the magic of the northwest with a clunk ... Read more >

Our trip to Ashland was tricky, and, like so many things, relied on the kindness of strangers. We bought our tickets at the depot in Eugene. However, the person mistook our request and thought we had asked for tickets to Portland. As it turns out, there ... Read more >

Our next stop was Eugene, Oregon. On the bus, we had a nice chat with fellow rider, Sean. He was meeting his child and their mom at the station. I hope their visit went well. They took us to our hostel where we met the manager, Mac. It was American Thanksgiving, ... Read more >

We caught an afternoon bus to Portland and stayed at the NW hostel near the “Pearl District” for two days (three nights). We could easily have stayed longer because we really enjoyed the vibe and offerings of this temperate rainforest city. The ... Read more >

Even though our trip had been rerouted from its original design, we were still en route to catch the very same bus, only originating in Vancouver, B.C. rather than Mount Vernon, Washington. So be it! The bus was late getting in, and that meant it got ... Read more >

We met with Marla in Trevor’s kitchen while he was at work. I’ve referred back many a time to an image that Marla shared: that of a flashlight shedding light on the path ahead -- that it does shine reliably but that it does not show very much of the ... Read more >

Talking to Trevor about traveling was great; however, we did not get started on that until the weekend. In the meantime, we had an interesting adventure. We took a hike to the AAA. It was so novel to be in a house and on our own with time to attend ... Read more >

Towards the end of our stay at the farm we met up with friend, Trev, who, in the generous style for which he is famous, insisted that we stay with him (if we wished). The next night, he picked us up on his way home from work in Sidney. Trev had previous ... Read more >

We were in the middle of clearing out the raspberry and artichoke gardens, cutting down the raspberry canes, raking out the leaves, and pulling up the weeds. We had just come into the poultry pen in order to empty the cane and weeds into the compost ... Read more >

We had an outstanding day, yesterday. After performing very few duties on the farm yesterday and fuelling up with food, we headed out to the road to walk towards our meeting time and place with Bart and Lynda. Bart is Dave's old cycling buddy, and the ... Read more >

We're finally here! First, we had to downsize: we purchased two backpacks on wheels with break away day packs. It is a great way to travel. We fed exed two big suitcases back to my brother in Winnipeg who will take them over to David's mom's place.... Read more >

Having time to ourselves in my cousin's downtown condo has certainly worked out well! We've had time to take care of business, and get down to reducing that baggage load that I spoke of earlier. I nearly died laughing when we left Winnipeg with our luggage ... Read more >

The trip to Vancouver would be more challenging: 28 hours on the bus. But our success with the 9 hours from Winnipeg to Regina gave us confidence, and we looked forward to the ride. Our bus went through to Calgary where we switched to a different bus.... Read more >

Our quest began with an all nighter giving everything the quality of a dream... By shortly after 6 a.m. of the day that the new owners were to take occupancy at 9, and our bus was to leave for Regina at 10, we were packed up and struggling with our load ... Read more >
