This year after the Run to the Rogue ended, I kept heading south, into the Northern California Mist. I visited Patrick’s Point State Park, just a little north of Trinidad. The park contains a cedar plankhouse villiage reconstructed by the Yurok Tribe and used for cultural events. The site looked rather deserted and gray. Even [...]

This weekend I did a “shakedown” cruise of my “hybridized” bicycle – a 20 mile round trip between Keiser and Willamette Mission State Park, which is just south of the Wheatland Ferry. Pretty much in the middle of the Willamette Valley – just North of Salem. Willamette Mission State Park has several miles of bike [...]

Waging Nonviolence – a peace resource

I managed to get there a few days later for a night-time ride. I will be uploading some video soon – complete with steam whistle, [...]

SBHC

A few years ago I wound up with a fun little project with the Oregon School Based Healthcare Network, taping a number of stories from youth (and a few adults) about the importance and need for School Based Health Care. The stories are moving, it was great to see the energy of the youth at [...]

We’ve completed another R2R, in which the Siletz tribe honors our ancestors by running / walking from Siletz, Oregon to Oaks Flats on the Illinois River. This relay, in which different members of the tribe (and friends!) carry an eagle staff mile by mile for over 50 hours down the coast, commemorates the forced removal [...]

In Feb, 2010 I spent a week in San Francisco working on a video shoot. I managed to escape for a late afternoon, and wound up walking over the Golden Gate bridge. Got to catch sunset from the bridge! Here’s some pictures – click on them to see the full image -
