Road Trip: August 11-September 25, 2026

California or Bust

Tuesday, August 11, I'll head out from my home in Colorado for California where I'll spend more than four weeks speaking and teaching for guilds. I'll travel with my husband, Andy, who will be chauffeur and sherpa as I'm still limited in what I can lift as my recovery from rotator-cuff surgery continues. We'll travel with my high-maintenance BBF, Emma the travel trailer, and our hearty tow vehicle Tori Hanson, my Ford Ranger is now a veteran of one year on the road. Between guild gigs, we'll visit family; Redwoods, Pinnacles, and Yosemite national parks; and Dinosaur National Monument. I'll be available by email and phone during this time. It may take me a bit longer to get back to you if you call when I'm speaking or teaching or off the grid at a park. Happy late summer and early fall!
