Sun River, OR, USA Late Winter

-



I went up to Sun River, OR March 7-9, 2012. Not very many people were there while we were. All of the surrounding cabins were empty. The weather was nice, had a little snow fall but not much and was partly sunny. There is a little shopping area there called The Village, they have a nice bookstore, coffee shop, grocery store, a place to rent gear for snow activities, and more. Beautiful views and the cabins are neutral color so they do not distract your eye from the beautiful wild life. I will be going there again in the Summer and will provide more pictures.

Thank you for checking in,

How Much Did My 1 Month Through SE Asia Cost?

-

Since I have been back to life here on Mt. Hood one of the number one questions I have been asked is how much my trip cost me. I sat down and went through my receipts, tickets, and bank statements to break it down into 5 segments: 1. Lodging = $500 - All of my nights but 2 were spent in either my own room or private bungalow never                         having  a shared bathroom expect once. This cost also includes my stay at the Kanchanaburi Elephant Haven . 2. Food & Drinks = $300 - I went to a couple fancy places but mostly chose the food stands/carts, markets, and small hole in the wall places. These more local spots I felt as if I got more bang for my buck and didn’t feel like I was in a tourist trap. 3.  Traveling Around While in Asia = $250 - This cost includes a flight from Chiang Mai to Bangkok, sleeper train, tut-tuts, buses, mini vans, and motorbikes. 4. Everything Else = $450 - Everything else is medicine, souvenigers, supplies, activities, etc.

Finding Me Wherever I Maybe Says Sawatdeeka From Chiang Dao I decided to head to the jungle to relax before Loy Krathong in Chiang Mai. For the next couple of nights I have myself my own cute little bungalow at the Chiang Dao Hut. From Chiang Mai I caught a Tut Tut for 100 BAHT, taking me to the Chang Puak Bus station where I hoped on the orange bus for 40 BAHT. On this 3 hour adventure through towns, past lovely temples and rolling hills I made my first friend Paul.  Bus to Chiang Dao Upon arrival in Chiang Dao we took a taxi to my little bungalow for 70 Baht a piece.  Paul unfortunately went back to town but later picked me up on for my first moped ride.  We just road around the jungle at first before heading to explore the Chiang Dao Cave of Wat Tham. When walking up to the cave we turned a little too soon taking us on a mini trek through the jungle and exploring up the stairs to what seemed to be an abandoned building.  Once back on track the entrance was g

Getting Sick While Traveling Alone and How I Dealt With It

The Sickness In a previous post about my first day in Chiang Mai, Thailand I shared with you how I spent 15 hours sick in my hotel room. During that time I was vomiting, dry heaving, hot and cold flashes, sweating profusely, and only being able to take nibbles of a banana and a sip of water ever couple hours in between forcing myself to sleep with the help of lavender and peppermint oil. The next day I was able to get myself to Chiang Dao to explore the jungle due to charcoal pills. The pills weren't actually helping... They were just masking whatever had possessed my body. During dinner the second day after the pills wore off I felt round 2 approaching. I parted with my friend to call it a night and wake up later to spend hours making good friends and enemies with my toilet. Unable to keep even water down. I am not going to lie... I broke down in my little bungalow in the middle of the jungle bawling my eyes out, distressed that I was on the complete other side of home,
