This spring, i took a break from cabin life and full-time glamping to go to the beach and spend time with friends. (At least i think it was spring. Spring in Oregon starts in late February, when it stops raining for a day and a half and you think..wait for it…is this it? Then.. nope! […]

That there is your propane tank,” Bruce the Propane Guy states matter of factly, pointing to what looks like a very small, abandoned, submarine – dry-docked and hidden behind some wild rhododendrons. “Huh.” i say, not quite convinced. “i somehow thought it would be….bigger.” And maybe not so covered in rust. And maybe like […]
Read More →Log cabin living is something i grew up with. But not actually, like, LIVING in one. Or, knowing anyone who lived in one. Or knowing anyone who knew anyone who lived in one.

Just when you do…don’t take Alaska Airlines. i’ve got friends who think Alaska is DA BOMB and fly them all over the place and collect all those magical miles and then use them to fly more places.
