Eastward Bound

- edit #2- After hours of talking with Google, the "Help us get home" button is finally working properly. Thanks !
-edit #1- A guy who works for CNN we met at a gas station back in San Fran had asked us permission to use us in a video project he was doing. He just uploaded the video and it gives a pretty awesome view of most of the places we've been coincidentally, as well as including us playing music/juggling in front of the bus about halfway through, I recommend you guys check it out: http://vimeo.com/43779634


We booked it north through Oregon, met up with an enlightened individual on the road who opened our minds to unique concepts. He wished to remain anonymous as the world isn't yet ready to hear his teachings, but we were lucky enough to get the chance to talk with him for a few hours. Spirulina, save the world.

We then took a ferry in Washington to a little island where we stayed at a powerful healer's house for a few days and spent my birthday playing Ultimate Frisbee.

After deciding to cut off the highway and detour through Yellowstone, we witnessed Old Faithful, who erupted 7 minutes late, it was total blasphemy.

Yellowstone was full of amazing scenic views, sulphur filled air making us hungry for eggs, and beautiful colored pools of boiling hot mineral saturated water.



Oh and a ton of bison and elk.

Bussy keeps overheating on uphill streaks, leading us to stop in breathtaking pull-offs where the sky and scenery blows our mind contantly. 

After making it over this (hopefully) last hill we'll have to climb until New England, We're booking it straight shot on highways to try and make it back in time for Collin's Brother's wedding.



2000 miles to go.






- By the way, the little "support our blog" button on the top of this site is now working (after many back and forth emails with google) and any help is much appreciated to help us make it back to the east coast!


Much love - P+C+PtD

Back on the road!

After spending a week trying to get the bus fixed ourselves, we decided the attempt was futile and got it to a professional. The repair palce was super helpful and friendly, let us crash right outside the garaga, came in a day they were closed to help us get back on the road, and knocked a couple bucks off the price for good faith.

 After witnessing a mind blowing sunset, we started the trek north into Oregon. 

 We ventured into a place called Fern Canyon, on the way out of California, where we were greeted by prehistoric landscapes and unbelievable decor.

 On our way out of the canyon we made our way to the beach where we got attacked by a full sized female Elk. Pat chased it around for a bit until it ran us off the road and back into the forest.

Picked up yet another hitchhiker today, who's showing us a cool place to camp out in Florence OR. Tomorrow we'll check out Portland if we make it there. The plan is to be back in Vermont within 3 weeks.

Here's a link to Jeff's blog - dude-man who's been travelling with us for a while, full of good vibes.

Broken down bus

 After parting ways with Mathias in Santa Cruz, we headed north to try and make time and head into Oregon. We said goodbye to San Fran via the golden gate bridge and started heading up the coast.

We picked up another traveler pretty serendipitously  on the road north, stopped at some more mindblowing redwoods as we drove ever onward..

Unfortunately the bus broke down after Arcata/Eureka, the belt snapped off and one of our pulleys broke in half. Fortunately for us it was near a beautiful beach with mindblowing sunsets.

Here's hoping we can get back on the road soon!

California

 Here are a bunch of pictures from our travels through the south of California, passing up through Joshua Tree, to Sequoia National Park, into Yosemite. We spent a few days in San Fran before heading north by the coast.

Californiaaaaaa

After spending a few days hanging out in Sedona AZ with awesome people we headed down through Arizona with a new traveller, Mathias from Denmark who was hitchiking across the country. 

 Slept in a hammoc a couple of nights then started to make our way into California.

Moving right along.

Afterleaving Boulder we went to hang out in Allenspark CO, riding horses, painting barns, hanging out in the mountain sun.

After making a batch of Bus-Kombucha, we headed into Utah to do some Mountain biking.

Headed out of Utah and into Arizona, where we arrived at the Grand Canyon right at sunset.

The morning after we witnessed spectacular views, hard to convey the epicness of it with pictures.

Collin tried to jump across, almost made it.

Hanging out in Sedona AZ for a few days, picked up a new traveller for the road to Cali. Will update with more pictures soon.

Bye-bye Boulder

Collin got himself an acoustic bass off craiglist the other day, sounds equally amazing unplugged and wired up.

We left Bloomin on good terms, went to see Shpongle in our badass masks.











Amazing show, 5 hour set of mind-blowing psychedelic experimental music.

Out of boulder, headed into mountains to stay at a ranch for a few days and do some outdoor work for a while, sick of working inside a factory environment.

 Back on the road headed to Utah after this break. Mountain biking ahoy!
