You know that feeling?
The one where you really have to pee? While driving that is. Ten miles from home, you’re doing alright. But with each mile it gets harder to hold. When you pass the old oak tree that’s leaning way out over the road you know you’re close. And that twinge hits. Oh no, you think. Am Continue reading

Not an ashhole…
An Ashfall. The kind that spews out of a volcano. And it happened around twelve million years ago. Give or take. It also happened in my old stomping grounds. Idaho. Southwestern Idaho. The cool thing is that it’s not exactly where it used to be. Twelve million years ago that is. I’m not the oldest Continue reading

Just like Mr. Gump
I’m on vacation. But this vacation is coming to a close. I left Keystone South Dakota this morning bright and early. I rode north and got in I-90 in Rapid City. As I headed east I noticed the traffic picking up. Still nothing as compared to back east, but much more traffic than I’ve been Continue reading

Everybody needs one
A day off that is. Due to the logistics I mentioned in my previous article, I checked everything off my list yesterday. So today is relaxing and doing some laundry. I’ve been wearing either dirty clothes or new clothes so far on this trip. Such a dirty boy. Also I’ll be writing about some things Continue reading

Don’t Rush Me…
What a day. Leaving Devils Tower and its environs was a little emotional. What a wonderful visit there. I’ve already swooned over the tipi camping and the tower, so I’ll mind my keyboard usage. But before I leave there — blog-wise — let me add one thing. Yesterday I did something I haven’t done in Continue reading

Close encounters of the nerd kind
Nerding out over so many things. My lodgings for this segment of my trip, my location, and another new area for me out west. First my lodgings. This is just so cool. I was so happy to have found this place. If you find yourself up here, check out Devils Tower Tipi Camping. Before I Continue reading

It’s the journey…
And so true today. As I drove from Cheyenne to Devils Tower, I happened across a sign indicating a historic site. As a spoiler, I was going to title this, “You have dysentery!” But chose to calm it down. They are so narrow. And now a taste of tomorrow’s adventure. Peace and love all. Marv Continue reading

Time traveling is not limited to Deloreans…
In the mid to late 80s I was in the Navy, and was stationed in southeastern Idaho. Yes, strange. I know. I was in the nuclear Navy; the sailors who ran the nuclear reactor and engine rooms of the ships. I had finished my tour on the submarine, USS Phoenix SSN-702, and was stationed at Continue reading

Colorado Family Time – 2025
The impetus of this trip was a week-long visit with family. My oldest son lives in Korea. He and his girlfriend were planning a trip to the USA. During their planning phase, they settled on Colorado as his brother, their mother, and his sister all live in the Denver area. It was just the best Continue reading

Tickle me with a Red Feather
My son introduced me to his secret camping spot. I cannot divulge that it was in the vicinity of Red Feather CO. This area is part of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land. Government/Public land. Free for us publics to use. For now. A certain government administration is talking about selling some of this Continue reading
