Rowena Crest

April 7, 2017

The Rowena Crest View Point is an idolized location for photographers and travelers alike. Sitting along the Columbia River Gorge are a handful of horseshoe curves in the road that make for a satisfying sight.

I've always loved bird's eye views of roads surrounded by nature, but since I don't have a drone to make those photos happen myself, I have to find high points from which to capture them. Rowena Crest is a perfect spot to get that shot. And not only do you get a beautiful view of a road in this picture, but you get a road unlike many others. 

Well, now I feel silly spending so much time talking about road, but sometimes it really is the simplest things that get me going.

So I'd suggest heading down highway 84 and making your way just 13 miles east of Hood River to check out the twists and turns of Rowena Crest.

I've heard this spot is a must to see in every season, so I'll be heading back this spring!

Happy Driving!

➝ Flagstaff, AZ

It's officially winter and I'm ready for some snow. Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate the fact that living on the central coast of California means I can get out and about every day of the year, but man oh man, would I really love some true winter weather right about now...

Where Feet May Fall

March 13, 2015

I was originally going to begin this post with some clever poetic phrase about the marvel of our feet and their ability to take us to so many delightful places, but then, I couldn't help but get distracted by the hilarity of how many shoes I brought on this week-long trip. (And the above pictures only show 3 of the 5 pairs I brought along.) Women are funny; each occasion calls for a totally different foot-attire. 

Now back to my first thought...

A Cool Place with Even Cooler People

March 10, 2015

February was full of fun trips for David and I. Trip number one was to Big Bear, trip number two took us to Shaver Lake, and trip number three will be up on the blog shortly.

Trip number two, in particular, was extra special because not only was it put on by iFixit (the awesome company David works for) but it was set in a place I grew up visiting as a child – Shaver Lake...
