Maximum Mitch, as he likes to call himself is an IT-er with a passion for photography, or maybe a photographer with a passion for IT is more accurate as he loves to shoot and edit more than anything.
He has shot some great series in San Francisco, see his photostream here on flickr or visit [...]
We had camped in the cold Redwoods & enjoyed the rest of the Avenue of the Giants leisurely. After no more than 35km we ended up in Redway, where we called Johnny, our host for the night for directions to his home and he picked us up and took us far into the curvy hills.

One of the greatest places we have seen on this trip, was dark and cold… Views were very limited, but that was exactly the main attraction as we were cycling on the Avenue of the Giants, a 50 km (31mile) long road through the Humboldt Redwood State Park in Northern California.
Only about 4-5% of the [...]

Johnny is a designer and loves his peaceful place in the pleasantly smelling woods of Northern California.
He is a traveller and a great Couchsurfer and introduced us to his local radio KMUD, with great international music as well as local news…
Dakota has been travelling step-by-step through the US for 25 years. He doesn’t say much, but enjoys the time on the road, with his 3-4 horses (he has to retire some of them), that pull his wooden cart.
Actually, not even all of the USA, but just ‘West of the Mississippi, I never crossed it!’ [...]
5 December: Brookings, Oregon to Klamath, California, 73km
