That looks like tons of fun! I love the ancient and medieval history, what a story some of those old cobblestone alleys could tell!!

I absolutely hope to soon. I would love more exposure to the great wild places we have around us here. I gotta do a few things on the rig before she's trail worthy for the summer, but I'm keeping an eye out for the next meeting and see when my days off are.

Thanks for reading everyone! Hope you have enjoyed reading my book of the journey along the start of the Plumas National Forest Back-country Discovery Route. Tune in to future adventures, as we finish up this passage and explore some of the other historical trails and byways in Northern...

Your ever ready and faithful Captain, swooning over the memories of the past days spent with my wonderful companion and our fur baby. I really did have an exceptional time at this and my crew and vessel made me incredibly proud. I fear my confidence to complete any mission assigned to us may...

Continuing the theme of the Plumas Backcountry Discovery Trail there was a small community located at the intersection of 23n10 and road 509. The town is named Sloat and was named in 1910, after Commodore John Drake Sloat, Commander-in-chief of the Pacific Fleet in the Mexican-American war. He...

Several of todays miles were spent in a oddly colorful landscape. The season was right, but the longitude felt wrong. I've not seen such a dominance of deciduous trees in this part of Northern California and I was taken back to my childhood in Massachusetts. Memories of riding my yellow and blue...

The road on this side of Harrison Flat is a bit smoother and a few less opportunities for pin-striping exist along the route. There were still small washouts, which Serenity skirted over with ease. I was proud of my vessel on this journey. She felt strong and capable and did all that I asked of...

Day 3. Finally!! The first two stages of the Plumas Backcountry Discovery Trail are intended to be ran together, on the same day. Due to our reduced pace of travel and the general jovial nature of this expedition, we had turned the first two stages and the alternative 4x4 route from La Porte...

I'll post day 3 in a couple hours. Just finishing up work. Already planning the finale of this route for this summer/fall.

I wouldn't consider myself an adventurer, I mean I grew up in the era of Randolph Fines and Cousteau and Bear Gryllis (hehehehe). I do like to go on adventures, and on such expeditions I am an 'adventurer' of sorts. I can agree with, in part, the attitudes of the writer towards those new into...

Oh i could contribute to this thread for a week. Super fond of my bitch (and growing more fond of our male). We have been taking her out since she was a 3 months old, and we took him out a couple weeks after we got him (at 8 weeks), so about the same. Besides their adventurous nature, which...

I agree, in this day and age having 3 sets of GSW treatment options (blood clot, bandage, chest seal, TQ and decompress needle per kit) is probably how I'll finish out this kit. Keeping a small medic bag with some basics is only used on trips over a few days and really i only add a few ace...

Doing a little research on creating my own Kaolin impregnated gauze and stuffing and thought I'd come stimulate this interesting topic on here. I've been investigating using half parts clay and cayenne pepper (for it's clotting and antiviral/bacterial properties) Anyone use their own mix, or...

Where have your adventures taken you this spring?

check out geyser systems. has a portable heated shower that holds a gallon and claims to last 7 minutes. Just saw it on IG and am seriously considering one.

Nice Fish! I'm digging that home made adventure trailer too.

I have neglected the history of this leg of the journey because it is much of the same repetitive stories of miners finding claims and others coming to partake. These gatherings created hamlets all over the landscape and all but a small handful remain as outposts of humanity. I also leave it to...

All along the route the downed trees and small landslides showed us that the previous winter had left its mark on the area and when approaching Harrison Flat the road showed signs of the ravages of the winter of 2016/17. Down in Grass Valley and Nevada City we got lots of wet rain and snow...

The ∩OV Serenity was cruising comfortably, with the sub-infinity drive set to 4 high and engaged in second gear. Our ears were comfortable and being entertained with comedy routines that had us laughing out loud. Our eyes took in the new sights, processing the information into electrical signals...

The directions on our PDF in post 1 were pretty spot on in terms of where to steer the vessel port and starboard. There was a few times when a 'bear left' was incorrect, in that there was no bear on the left AND the road that went left was closed. I will say that the path forward is pretty...
