Last evening was a little unusual. Around eight, I retreated to my tent to rest my eyes for a few minutes. I passed the fuck out. Unfortunately, I did not get a full night's rest. I was awakened around eleven, thanks to some extremely powerful winds. It did not take long for the rain to join in. While being...
It was only a few miles to the small town of Unity. It had a little mini-mart that was shockingly open at this early hour. I chugged a monster energy drink and ate some jerky. The damn desert landscape was my backdrop for today. Luckily, the sun was just rising, so the heat was hiding for the moment. It...
Another successful sleep. It is sad that I continually draw connections to video games, but they are spot on. Many RPG games have a sort of health rejuvenation option when sleeping. Sleeping by the campfire only recovers some of your health, sleeping in a bed gives you a little more, but sleeping in a comfy bed fully revives your health...
Sleep surely summoned me. As of recently, a comfy bed will successfully send me to my slumber. I woke up early and well-rested. My first move was to mosey on over to the cafe across the street. It was another Ma and Pa joint, and the grub was great. I devoured three over-easy eggs, some hash browns, toast with...
My slumber was somewhat satisfactory. I awoke in the middle of the night shivering, so I cocooned myself even harder. It turns out my sleeping bag is not adequate for temperatures under sixty degrees Fahrenheit. After a few more hours of rest, the sun turned my tent into a sauna. I had no choice but to evacuate my steaming...
Unfortunately, this campsite did not have a single water pump or any available water. This is an issue that I had not come across yet. It was shocking because this was undoubtedly the hottest and driest site yet. Regardless, I rationed five ounces of water and a juicy apple for myself. My body could have easily made it ten...
It was still early, which was wonderful. The sun was not at its highest heat, and the breeze was busy. I was sincerely satisfied to be surrounded by so much foliage. The scenery was an odd combination of lush trees and dry dusty landscapes. These tall pines provided some shade on the street. However, it was readily available if you...
Today I woke up feeling fabulous. A comfy bed sure does stimulate a successful slumber. Since the option was available, I helped myself to a delightful and lengthy shower. Breakfast was included in my room purchase, so I made my way to the dining area. The spread was not extensive, but the contents were considerably tasty. My plate included several...
My sleep was successful. As I crawled out of my tent, I smelled some sensational coffee. Reilly was brewing up a batch for us. The coffee was killer, and Hannah's cheffing was something to celebrate. After our breakfast, the three of us found a trail close to camp. It took us to a little beach along The Deschutes River....
The wind was wild and waking. Powerfully gusts continually pounded my tent all throughout the night. I managed to get a few hours of sleep. The one plus about this brutal breeze was many of my soaked items were now dry. Nature works in mysterious ways. After packing up my gear, I made my way to Highway 84. It...
Last night's sleep was refreshing and revitalizing. A subtle breeze blew through the trees. Accompany that with some light rainfall, and I passed out promptly. I wish the morning was this pleasant. I awoke to a flat back tire. This was quite an unexpected discovery. A slight setback, so I thought. My shitty amazon hand pump was useless. The pump...
