One more night…

Phil Collins had it right. Today had the potential to be a glorious day. The night was cool, and I slept great. The crickets and other night creatures were a soothing lullaby. And then. Frustration and angst. There’s construction going on at the campground, and a swarthy team of redneck construction workers got started at… Continue reading

On the road again… again

This time, heading back home from the glorious out west 2026 extravaganza. I have to tell you. I am kind of anxious to get home. Now that the Colorado/Wyoming adventure is closed, it’s just driving. And driving is… not that much fun. If I had someone to share witty banter with, it might be better.… Continue reading

Red Feather Lakes, Part Deux, Part II…

Now where was I… Oh yeah, far far from the pit of despair. More the hills of splendor. That’s how cool Red Feather is. I’ve kind of had a nostalgic bent lately. One thing I’ve been vibing on is Kimbro’s Pickin’ Parlor. If you find yourself gravitating anywhere around Franklin Tennessee, do yourself a favor:… Continue reading

Red Feather Lakes, Part Deux

This year we stayed at the property of some friends of my son Caleb. It was fairly isolated and absolutely beautiful. I took a few pictures, and will share some, but others in my camping group took a lot, I’ll see if they’ll share a few good ones. The folks who own the property have… Continue reading

Thursday Things (Wild West Edition)

It’s Thursday morning and I’m enjoying some delish coffee. I’m waking up slowly today. I slept well, my sluggishness may be due to my hours in dreamland. I have some chores to do this morning. Laundry, shower, and such. I’ve had an M&M canister filled with quarters in my center console since around 2017; remnants… Continue reading

What to do in the Wild Wild West…

The purpose of this trip is family time. And yesterday sort of kicked that off. Had a great reunion. Ethan and Hana gave Korean-themed gifts, They are so sweet and thoughtful. Speaking of gifts, Colorado Caleb gave me a vintage axe! This will come in handy for my boondocking and camping where fires are allowed.… Continue reading

Finally at my destination

Western Nebraska and Eastern Wyoming are… Under construction. Nebraska especially. It wasn’t bad. The traffic volume wasn’t high, and the merging was a piece of cake each time. On a grrr scale, I’d give it one snarl. However, twice I saw cropdusting planes doing practice runs. That was amazing to side-eye as I drove on.… Continue reading

Feelin’ Husky
I wanted to write (which I just did), “but not Ferlin Husky. If you don’t know, and care to, he has an entry on Wikipedia. So, just one more piece of evidence of just how ancient I truly am. Now that we’ve established that I’m not Ferlin. I am in Nebraska. Woke up after a… Continue reading

Mighty MO!
For those who have read a few of my blog posts, especially the ones from my Out West trip of last year, you’ll likely be aware of my state to get a sort of adventure rig setup for more trips like that. Well, I have begun. Oh I sort of began with my First Date… Continue reading

Indiana Calling
To kick off this Colorado trip, I thought I’d swing by my cuz David’s house. And the trip was going sooo smoothly. Until it wasn’t. And that was about thirty minutes from my destination. Spittin’ distance we’d say down in the mountains. An Appalachian storyteller would start off like… “I was a gittin’ it along… Continue reading
