I embarked on a two week journey September 20 through October 3, attending two major events: first, the Northern California Permaculture Convergence and then the 26th annual Crones Counsel. The first was held at the Solar Living Institute in Hopland California, and the second at a hotel in Bellingham Washington. In between, I drove in delicious solitude on Highway 101 up the coast of Oregon. My blogging output on this trip was unexpectedly voluminous. Here goes:
