Jaunt ’24 i
I’m back in the borough of Queens. Here are some jaunt numbers: an initial 2450 miles by air to San Diego, and then alternating car and train journeys that racked up 5000 miles and 4000 miles respectively. Amtrak’s railpass provides a good framework to build a journey around the US with; building that tour carefully […]

This follows on part g, and takes me from the Missouri river at Fort Benton MO to the Missouri River at Chamberlain SD, which would be about 700 miles flying straight, and the Missouri certainly is not straight. And since I call this a water blog, there’s certainly water here implied at least. But first, […]

Let me update my progress, since I write this from the middle of South Dakota, on a trip I’m enjoying immensely in spite of the cold and wind. For the record, yesterday I left the motel around 0600 and the Wyoming temperature was . . . 17 degrees F. Also, thanks to a question from […]

Today I start heading east, although I’m as far from the East coast as is possible to get, the beach off Sutro Heights with my back to the Pacific and looking at Dutch windmill in Golden Gate Park (GGP). Yes, there were tulips and yes I walked barefoot into the Pacific, of course it was […]

Call this 2400 miles to the Barbary Coast from San Francisco . This post gets us to the Barbary Coast shore, and next I’ll follow inland a bit. This follows on part d, as you might have seen here. If you want vessels, there’ll even be some vessels here. Keep in mind that vessels move […]

I’ve always called this a “waterblog,” and this post is no exception. New York state has a complex water system, but California’s is much more so. With this post, I’m foolishly trying to capture the water story based on a trip from from Sacramento to LA, via 99 to Bakersfield, then west to Buttonwillow, over […]

Sticking to the format, days 5 and 6. Enjoy these from Salinas to Sacramento, traveling in the rain at the speed of light. I chose this representative group while drinking morning coffee as well as while sleeping. I’ve tried to arrange in chronological order. It was too early to try the deep-fried artichokes at the […]

Days 3 and 4 . . . here are a few, all taken while heading north between Long Beach CA and Salinas. I could say more and I will, but for now, enjoy these photos. I’ll have to come back to this in a later post. This is only several […]

Unrelated: To understand what likely happened in Baltimore, watch this 6-minute video from Sal, up just a couple hours after the incident: as a friend wrote, Sal is the best. Today’s post: For the next few weeks, I’ll follow a planned, circuitous route back home to the sixth boro from the Pacific side by car […]

The jaunt goes on, way inland in the snow for the moment, although I’m coming back to the coast. Snow jaunt photos will catch up, but now I need to go back over a week and start catching up on more tugstesque photos, beginning with a previously sixth boro–and East Coast–boat, Katherine. You remember her, […]
