Plans for the Future

The best laid plans of hippies often go awry. So don't take these as a promise of anything, for sure.


Here is our plan of how to get from Maryland out to the West Coast. We'll be stopping at Kylara's parents' house in Southern Maryland and Tomko's mother's house in Lafayette, Indiana. Then we have friends in Omaha, Salt Lake City, and Olympia, WA. Denver and Portland (or some where before Portland) will be campsites or couchsurfers.

Once we arrive in Olympia, we'll stay there for a few days until it's time for us to get to Vancouver Island. We'll be taking a ferry from Port Angeles, WA to Victoria, BC, the southern-most city on Vancouver Island. (Google maps does not accept the existence of ferries, so we cannot actually show you the map on there.)
Once we arrive on Vancouver Island, we have two definite places lined up from an excellent website called WWOOF: Willing Workers On Organic Farms, Canadian edition.

Our first site is called Herbwise Farms, run by a lady named Karla. Our second site is several ferries away in an area called Desolation Sound Marine Park.

We have some other sites potentially lined up in the future. I will update when we make definite commitments.
People often ask me what we are going to be doing "after." Here are some possible options for what to do after I run out of adventures that belong before this:

  • Move back to Baltimore and pretend to be normal people again.

  • Do our part to eradicate the bear menace of the Northwest.

  • Find a cheap houseboat and float down the Mississippi trying to avoid mercury poisoning from the massive amount of fish we will consume, trailing behind us rafts covered in herb and vegetable gardens.

  • Find an employer in Canada and apply for Canadian citizenship.

  • Forage through the post-civilized wastes of America for gasoline in leather jackets.

  • Build yoga yurts and other cob structures that can be strictly defined as "playhouses not to exceed 200 square feet" in accordance with most local planning regulations.

  • Buy land in Wyoming and create a commune for any of my friends to move to and learn how to ride horses and repel Republicans.

  • Find a menial job as a waitress in any given city or town in the United States.

  • Create a goat dairy and make cheese to sell at farmers' markets.

  • Run for President.

  • Eat sushi endlessly until I run out of money and/or pop.

  • Making the return drive to Baltimore, but with the car in reverse the entire way.

  • Take the head of the Kurgan.
