Mist’n’Sun – Along Oregon’s Coast to California
Mist’n’Sun – Along Oregon’s Coast to California An epic journey along Oregon’s pacific coast.

Astoria, 24th July We’re still near Mount St. Helens. Enjoying warm weather. Temperatures towards 35°. The place an opportunity…
To the Lower 48
To the Lower 48 The Lower 48 – what the hell is that? Easy. It means the Lower Contiguous 48 States of the United States, usually in comparison to Alaska, which is separated from the first 48 states by Canada. Of course, Hawaii is not part of the game – who bothers for small islands.…

Finally Arriving at Our All-Important Intermediate Destination: Alaska Breaking news: on 18th June we reach the 49th State Brewing Company in Anchorage, Alaska. We have an Indian Pale Ale.
