Immersed in the World
“Do you know where we can get a nice crusty baguette?” I asked the gal working at Golden Glen Creamery.
“You’re going into Edison, right?”
“I don’t know. Where’s Edison?”
“Just up Farm to Market Road a couple miles. Breadfarm is there. That’s where you get bread.”
“Breadfarm. Okay. So I’ll just find it [...]
Golden Glen Creamery in Bow, Washington is spitting distance from the tulip fields we recently visited so we popped in for a block of cheese for our picnic lunch.
I wasn’t prepared for the decision making.
Golden Glen offers dozens of varieties of cheeses, including goudas, cheddars, feta, fresh mozzarella, parmesan and cheese [...]
Tulips signify the return of Spring and every year I can’t wait until the first flowers emerge from the cold ground. A few years ago I learned Western Washington was a major grower of tulips. I had to see the fields.

It was the road sign on California’s Pacific Coast [...]
The little dot on the map right next to 1-90 that read “ghost town” intrigued me. We exited and crossed under the freeway and drove until we found this sign.
Ten miles feels never ending on a single lane dirt road in poor condition. The further we went, the steeper the road became and when the [...]
I opened my eyes. It was morning. Yes! Our initiation was over. We had found a place to camp the night before just as the sun was setting, in the wilderness–not a campground, and slept in the bed-car, for FREE.
No bears or burglars came. And I was done lying on my right side, my pillow covering the gap between the [...]
