On one our recent day’s off, we planned a day trip to the small town of Hood River to get supplies. After enjoying a DELICIOUS breakfast at the Huckleberry Inn in Government Camp, our first stop was the trailhead for the Tamanawas Falls. This… Continue Reading “Timothy Lake Journal – Tamanawas Falls”
We started our workamping gig in the state of Oregon on May 6 with a weeklong training session held at the facility headquarters in Estacada, Oregon. Our employer, Portland General Electric, operates 14 different day use and overnight camping facilities along the Clackamas River… Continue Reading “Workamping in Oregon”
April 13, 2023 My room at the Hôtel La Bastide d’Olt was ready shortly after finishing up my beer in the bar. At around 54 euros each for the “demi-pension”, this place was a real bargain. Our room was actually on 2 levels – one main… Continue Reading “Le Puy Camino – via Podiensis: Golinhac to Conques”
April 11 and April 12, 2023 As I continued my walk along the Lot River towards Estaing, the picturesque city exploded into view with the 15th-century Château d’Estaing rising up above the other buildings – taking center stage. As I approached the bridge that crosses… Continue Reading “Le Puy Camino – via Podiensis: Estaing to Golinhac”

Trees were starting to show signs of breaking out in leaf, the day was sunny and warm and the most impressive sight… Continue Reading “Le Puy Camino – via Podiensis: Saint Chély-d’Aubrac to Saint-Côme d’Olt”
April 8 and 9, 2023 Our overnight stay in the village of Aubrac was nothing short of luxurious! As soon as I arrived in the town, I went in search of our accommodations – the Chambre d’hôtes La Colonie. We were spending a little… Continue Reading “Le Puy Camino – via Podiensis: Aubrac to Saint Chély-d’Aubrac”
Yesterday, the fog enveloped the landscape – taking its own sweet time to rise above the hillsides and valleys. Once I started my walk, it had lifted somewhat – lingering only in cool spots. Many trees have dropped their leaves but the beech trees… Continue Reading “Foggy Mornings”
April 7 and 8, 2023 Our accommodations for the night of the 7th were at the Gîte aux Quatre Vents in the small hamlet of Les Quatre Chemins – which literally translates to The Four Paths. The gîte was located at a rural crossroads… Continue Reading “Le Puy Camino – via Podiensis: Les Quatre Chemins to Aubrac”
April 6 and 7, 2023 Aumont-Aubrac is the town in the Lozère valley region of France. The town has a decidedly Roman influence with some well-preserved buildings dating to the 16th and 17th centuries. The “église Saint–Etienne” is the notable church in town dating… Continue Reading “Le Puy Camino – via Podiensis: Aumont-Aubrac to Les Quatre Chemins”
