Saw a funny quote on Jesus online:
“They say Jesus was a carpenter? I’m not buying it. I see those crosses everywhere. I mean if Jesus wasn’t a marketer I don’t know what he was. “
Lemonade Restaurant in Venice, CA
Levi was kind enough to treat me to lunch at a restaurant named “Lemonade” in Venice, CA today. Below is a quick video of their food selection- it’s excellent for both vegetarians and for meat eaters!

Below is a video of where I live in Venice. I’m just a few yards from the beach & Venice boardwalk!
First Night Out in LA
LA got it’s first taste of the Gross invasion tonight. Levi, Jeremy and I went out on Abbott Kinney Road to Other Room and Townhouse. Good times watching the boys play. At one of Levis friends house eating good cheese & meat on crackers with wine now.
Los Angeles!
Pushed through the night to LA. Made it in 22 hours (a couple of food/gas/nap breaks). I am really happy to be here; Jeremy and Is place is nice… And the location is 30 yards from Venice beach. I will upload a video tour soon. I need to sleep first though. 22 hours of driving tired me out.… read more “Los Angeles!”
Hamburg Farms
Shortly after gassing up and getting food in Hamburg Farms at 1am, I realized I was getting dangerously tired. I stopped and slept at a rest stop to nap in my car till 330 am. Now I am happy to be back on the road. ETA: 730 am.
Willows, CA
Taking a rest stop in Willows, CA right now. Food options are McD’s, Diarrhea Bell, and Dennys. I chose McDonalds; haven’t eaten at on in several years. Food is the same as when I stopped; greasy & ok tasting. Planning on finding a dark spot to park my car and nap for an hour before hitting the road again.… read more “Willows, CA”
Climb Mt. Shasta?
I spotted Mt. Shasta today and was really tempted to stop my trip and climb it. Decided it is a better idea to wait for next season and do it with a friend. It is 300 feet shorter than Rainier and much safer, though there is crevasses and rockfall danger.
Medford, OR Pitstop
450 miles into my trip, I am taking my first rest stop. Got gas (stupid OR rules require an attendant to fill your tank), about to eat at a shady Thai/Chinese restaurant, and then do stretches and maybe cat nap before I knock out another 450 miles. Debating trying to push all the way through to LA today.… read more “Medford, OR Pitstop”
