Favorite Outposts
Minocqua, Wisconsin. This unassuming, plumbing-less and powerless shack in northern Wisconsin holds an unspeakable volume of art-making supplies.
Quartzsite, Arizona. Winter months host legions upon legions of RVs filled with snowbirds, international traders, quick buckers, fossil diggers, I-10 zombies and the occasional religious revival.
Mamba Burger, England. This salt-of-the-earth burger and pizza shack offers a safe have to all sorts of misanthropes - particularly bookshop owner Bernard Black - in central London.
Pescadero, California. In a sleepy coastal town off of the Pacific Coast Highway, Pescadero unveils its most powerful of secret weapons... a hybridized agricultural phenomenon known as the Olallieberry.
Claude Bell's Dinosaurs, California. Immortalized in Pee Wee's Big Adventure, these prehistoric wonders tower over Cabazon like obese tchotchkesque monoliths to one man's sensational roadside vision.
Utah sandstone. Stunning landscapes and geological marvels even in July when the temperature is 107 at 7:00 p.m. and you're driving to the trailhead in a car with radiator problems and without air conditioning. A hubris-checking flexing of natural force in perfectly complementary colors.
Curio Bay, New Zealand. Quiet rushes rustle in relaxed beauty along the South Island's Catlins coast.
