We are so incredibly excited to camp and hostel and couch surf our way to the beautiful Fort Bragg, CA.
My personal goals on this trip: Donuts for breakfast at least once, 500 photos taken, a natural souvenir from each location, equal parts jill photos and kate photos, see a blonde bear, make new traveling friends around a campfire, Gig 'em and sailor salute at each location, not get kidnapped.
Jill and I will be co-authoring a blog or tumblr during our trip and right as we are preparing so will post a link to that when we get it set up. Get excited, world!
