Well, I now have an agent and I'm writing this from a hotel in Eureka, with my shit in a United Van Lines truck heading for Seattle. All in all, win.Given my 'druthers I'd sell the novel for a gajillion bucks and move the fuck and gone out of LA but the only thing stopping me from doing that is the fickle taste of the marketplace and the aforementioned Youtube cartoons. Just haven't had time to edit shit in like four months.
We're actually pretty serious about doing this. The last time we had "small stream crossings" however we got the Fit up to the floorboards in water. It was sporty. The Fit handled it just fine. But then we discovered as we came back from a hike in Santa Barbara that someone had legitimately flipped a PT Cruiser end-over-end in the last river we didn't cross. I still have pictures somewhere. Anyway. We now have way too much shit and a toddler in the car, so I'm not sure how river-fording I'm feelin'. And an 8-mile hike... mm. Maybe not with a toddler, considering we have a carrier, not a full-blown kidpack. What say you?Davison Road is OPEN but travelers beyond Gold Bluffs Beach Campground (e.g., en route to Fern Canyon Trailhead) should be prepared for small stream crossings across the roadway. High clearance and/or 4-wheel drive recommended.
ugh... tough call. Our low riding minivan packed with 7 people and 3 weeks worth of stuff made it... but honestly I would feel terrible if you got stuck. I was there last summer - and there were several "normal" cars in the parking lot. I mean - it wasn't 4x4 only. The hike is TOTALLY doable with a toddler... but you know what? might be good for another trip when she can walk a little more. Safe travels my man.
