Hey, Blog Watchers! Wow. What an amazing trip we are having. When I last left you Charlie and I were on our way from Big Sur to San Francisco to pick up our third road-tripper Tommy Russell. Tommy flew in from NYC after having just returned from 3 weeks in Europe. Talk about jet-lag. He was so much fun in the car for the first six hours. And when I say fun, I mean asleep. In San Fran we met up with two of my great friends from LA; Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Andrew Dudley. Jesse and I are ole friends from NYC and I met Andrew through Jesse in LA. However, he recently moved to San Fran to work on his internet start-up wundrbar.com. Check out that site and you can hear some of my voice-over handiwork. Anywho, we all drove up to Humboldt Redwood State Park for two amazing days of camping, hiking and fun. We stayed at Hidden Springs Campground, site #27. It was really secluded with a firepit and bear-proof lock box for our food. Also, hidden behind our site was an awesome rope swing. Swinging up into the redwoods was breathtaking. We got into Hidden Springs around 9 PM Wednesday night. We made some burgers and sausages and then got some sleep. The next morning, after some pancakes, we took a 6 mile hike through the Redwood Forest. That night we cooked some more, swung on the rope swing, played some yahtzee and then hit the hay.
Charlie, Tommy and I said goodbye to Andrew and Jesse this morning and are now driving 8 hours to get to Portland, OR by tonight (Friday). We stopped right outside of Oregon for a dip in the river. So fun!
Thanks to all of you for the many comments! It keeps us going!

It began as a travel blog when my good friend Celia and I drove cross country in 2007. It then documented a 3 week camping/roadtrip with my two friends Charlie and Tommy. Now the possibilities are endless...

This is such a trip, following you guys along on your odyssey. I'm looking forward to following the whole trek. You all look like you're having a blast. Enjoy, and stay safe.

Joe, watch out for the bears and use those maps. Remember to make lots of noise while walking in secluded areas. Don't smell like bacon. And don't try to make friends with any cute bear cubs. It may be a trap. The mother bear may be watching from behind a bush. Magda and I went to the National Zoo this morning and we know all about predatory behavior.
