Weekend Drive to Pensacola and Gulf Shores
What started as a midday drive in Loki, our self converted camper van, to have lunch in a pretty spot about an hour away from the house turned into a 12+ hour drive down to the beach and back on a whim. We began our day by heading south to Eufaula, Alabama, planning to have…

Meeting a Bikepacker Riding on I-10
To say our trip home from the Men’s Final Four Tournament of the basketball season of 2024-25 was an adventure would be a severe understatement. We left San Antonio early in the morning knowing that the 14 hour drive was ahead. The rest of the family left about an hour before we did, but we…

Driving to San Antonio Riverwalk Trails
Another year, another Final Four. Well, not really. While Auburn University seems to always be one of the best basketball teams in the country every year, they never are quite good enough to close the deal. Of course, that is a subject for another time. This year, Auburn did make it to the Final Four…

Gulf Coast Back Country Trail
Riding along the Gulf Coast in winter can be one of the best ways to escape the cold, gloomy days while waiting for the warmth of spring to return. The weather on the Gulf Coast remains moderate even in winter, but February is our favorite time to visit. Today, we ventured down to ride a…

Biking Gulf State Branyon Backcountry Bike Trail
I would like to say that every day is filled with a bike ride and a walk on the beach, but at least, today, it was. We use to spend quite a bit of time in Orange Beach, Gulf Shores, and Perdido Key, but haven’t made it down here in the last 6 months. This is our absolutely…

Leave the Boat in Orange Beach to Sit in Traffic
Well, we had to leave the boat and come back home. It was such a great weekend we didn’t want to leave but all good thing must come to an end I guess. It was nice to get back to the house though and take a nice shower and enjoy the rest of the afternoon.…
