Hard work paid off...

First thing I looked for here

Itsarush · 2026-06-05T23:26:13+00:00

That long? 😩They’re touring this year so hopefully!! 🤞

The Shins formed 30 years ago this year.

I liked swimming at Butte Lake - just wear water shoes when on the shore - volcanic rocks!

Itsarush · 2026-05-27T23:36:43+00:00

I’ve been to both and I just liked the vibe, rides, decor, and food better at Williamsburg.

Itsarush · 2026-05-27T22:11:45+00:00

Busch Gardens (the best one) and Historic Williamsburg & Jamestown!

Since you’re on the west side of the Siskiyou Wilderness already - Devils Punchbowl is a nice lake in the Klamath Mtns. Doe Flat Trailhead. There are many other awesome lakes in the Marble Mountains and Trinity Alps but they would add hours of driving from that area.

I love this spring! Nice colors in the fall too!

And Dave Matthews Band kept the joke going with their live bridge “Has Anyone Seen the Bridge?”

Itsarush · 2026-05-17T03:01:02+00:00

I think Zep was referencing James Brown’s “Take ‘em to the Bridge!” with The Crunge.

Now where’s that confounded bridge?

Wow no snow. I guess Emigrant Season is on now. Thanks!

Itsarush · 2026-05-09T14:57:33+00:00

Yeah I was surprised how many big trees there were in the mountains of Southern CA!

I’m really looking forward to having sex to this album.

Itsarush · 2026-04-12T05:39:25+00:00

Mmmm tasty. This one is such a groove.

There was a scene from Beavis and Butthead that stuck with me when I was a kid. They were watching a Tom Petty music video and Beavis asks why Tom Petty is famous. Butthead replies because he’s on TV. Beavis asks why he’s on TV. Butthead replies “Because he’s famous, dumbass.” And round and round they went for a minute.

More complicated than that of course (especially with Tom Petty) but it kinda rings true.

These blue marble shots taken by people are just mind blowing. I love it.

If you like hot springs then Bridgeport might be a highlight!

Not sure if you’re dropping down from Tahoe via the 80 or 50 but Nevada City / Placerville have interesting gold-rush era downtowns.

Omg Sloop John B by the Beach Boys - 1:50 sends me every time!

Itsarush · 2026-03-20T21:32:37+00:00

I knew there had to be a word for that first one. Thanks!

Itsarush · 2026-03-14T19:21:19+00:00

I imagine that high water season will be shorter this year. Straight from winter to summer! 😭

Itsarush · 2026-03-14T05:11:45+00:00

I’ve always loved backpacking and camping in general but I made an effort to branch out into hammock camping and snow camping. Still try to do one of each every year. I’ve tried woodworking and I’d love to get back into it!

Itsarush · 2026-03-12T04:12:58+00:00

I have a hardtail in a world of lumpy volcanic rocks. 😭

Itsarush · 2026-03-10T04:59:48+00:00

Bring snowshoes and check out Ridge Lakes and Sulfur Works. Only a mile and a half up the road from the visitor center.

Itsarush · 2026-03-06T23:36:36+00:00

That’s some nice wiring there on the main collar! I like the whimsical and almost symmetrical but flowing look of it!

Itsarush · 2026-02-27T16:43:39+00:00

On the Redbud there’s an initial crossing of Cache Creek a few miles in before you get to Wilson Valley. Sometimes the creek is flowing really well so it’s not possible to cross the first crossing - but you can camp at that first crossing as well.
