With our extension at the lighthouse coming to an end, and the reality of the cross country drive to Florida by the end of the year settling in – it was time to plot our escape and get on with the next adventure of clearing out Chris’ storage unit in Sacramento. We left Cape Blano […]
Our Travels
Lighthouses Guide More Than Ships
There have been few experiences so far in our nomadic journey where we leave already having set an intention to return someday. And yet – we have already signed up to return as hosts at Cape Blanco next year. I’ve been giving a lot of thought as to why I felt so connected and so […]
What?? The Month is Over Already??
Oh goodness, it seems like we just pulled into Cape Blanco to begin this lighthouse host adventure. How quickly four weeks goes by. We spent our last scheduled week trying to pack in as much awesome as we could – which is easy in a place where just sitting around is pretty darn awesome. […]
Another Week at Cape Blanco
Pout. We are now short-timers here at Cape Blanco – entering our final week of volunteer hosting. We’ve been continuing to explore around the area, and have hardly left the campground – there’s just so much to do here. Such as wandering the beaches and trails at sunset… Or night hikes to view the light […]
The Many Prisms of Cape Blanco
Hard to believe our second week at Cape Blanco has already flown by. We continue to experience such a wide variety of moods and colors here, and we remain absolutely enchanted. We’re immersing ourselves in lighthouse history and thoroughly enjoying the ‘job’ of sharing the magic with visitors. We’ve also remained incredibly busy. Between having […]
Getting to Know Cape Blanco
We’ve now been at Cape Blanco for just over a week. We’ve completed our first full set of volunteer shifts, and start another today. There are 4 volunteer couples and we work on a rotational schedule of three days in a row (an afternoon shift, a full 6 hr day, then a morning shift), get […]
Our Way Too Quick Trip to Cape Blanco
It’s always a balancing act when you have a destination and arrival date, and a lot of friends along the way to visit. Our arrival date for orientation for our Lighthouse Duties at Cape Blanco was quickly approaching, and we only had 3 nights left. And we had 3 sets of friends we wanted to […]
Following the Gorge into Portland
Whew, it’s been a crazy and amazing couple of weeks and I’m a few miles behind on updating the travelogue. I’ll try to rectify that this week now that we’re settled in at our lighthouse hosting gig and will have lots more free time for writing. Let’s see… last we updated we had finally just […]
The Technomads have Left Montana!
After a night of rocking blues in Billings, Montana to celebrate the completion of our engine rebuild.. it was time to hit the open roads! It’s been quite a bizarre feeling mixed with excitement and daze. I can only imagine it’s similar to a young bird getting kicked out of their nest to go explore […]
Vrooms & Blues
We had a delightful and recharging stay at Spring Creek Campground (our review) just outside Big Timber, MT. We don’t know how much of our experience there was just juxtaposition to our stay of 6 weeks in a parking lot, or if the campground really was that awesome – but it was just what we […]
