Brookings, Oregon

April 10–11, 2022

My injured back went into full revolt during my time in Brookings, so most of my stay was spent inside the van with my heating pad and Advil. What a bust! I did take the dogs on a short walk down to the water at Harris Beach State Park while it was sunny, but soon after we were trapped inside by a hailstorm that eventually resolved into mere rain. When it was time to leave the campsite, we drove up the coast along the Samuel Boardman Scenic Corridor (which a wide-eyed young guy outside a dispensary in Arcata, CA, had told me was a must-see, “life-changing” experience). I wish my back had allowed me to hike further off the beaten path each time I stopped at a viewpoint, but the sights I was able to take in were stunning, nevertheless. So much moisture everywhere!

About Me

I’m a graphic designer, musician, and editor whose job went remote in March 2020. In mid-2021, I sold my house, bought a camper, and decided to hit the road with my two dogs. My homebase is Vermont, and I’ll return eventually, but for now I’m going mobile.
About My Camper

For the first few months of my trip, I was driving Pierogi, a 2014 Toyota Tacoma, and pulling Donna, a 2021 Sun-Lite Classic 16BH camper. Partway through the trip, though, I realized I love this life and wanted to up my game, so I traded in my sweet little setup for a 2022 Thor Sequence camper van, Vincent Van Go(gh). Less in the way of vintage charm, but he rides sooooo fine.
