Day 39 started with a nice walk to Canatara Park, in Sarnia. It’s a nice 5km round trip from Camp Mom. The weather was perfect and lake Huron was perfectly calm. Rest of the day was spent with family doing stuff. Did go to the “B” chip truck option with my sister and mother. I…
You know, Cracker Barrel can be OK. We continue to have pretty good luck. I failed to mention that Mrs Milddogs had purchased three Munch peanut bars for me when she picked up our obligatory Cracker Barrel order last night. I love peanut bars. Best of all were the ones we used to be able…
Lovely night sleep which was a bit surprising after consuming 4 Bud Lights over 5 hours. Technically 3.5 because I spilled half of one in two incidents. The same type of incident, twice. Within a few minutes of each other. Question: Why do car campers have to open and close their car doors 319 times…
OK, let’s relax. Tomorrow is eclipse day. Bonnie Tyler will break out in song, parts of the word will go dark for a few moments, animals will make nocturnal noises and we will all remain calm. Sure, we will bring down the cellular networks posting our insta and tweets* of us getting blinded by the…
Must say, a pretty good night sleep at the side of the highway at our Harvest Host. For the morning walk I headed up the hill a few hundred meters and then cut into a neighbourhood to get off the main drag. The neighbourhood began with a slightly run down section to single wides and…
It has been about 36 days since I last used my password for work. Yet, every time I boot up my Mac to construct these complex, insightful and intriguing blog posts, I instinctively want to type in my former work password, not the highly secure passphrase I have for my local account on my Mac….
Quiet campground except for the metal bridge that is on the secondary highway about 1km from our campsite At night it sounds like a jet taking off as trucks (I assume) go across it. Odd that the sound travels so well through all of these trees. Morning walk was on most of the beautiful trails…
It’s a wonderful day in the neighbourhood. McKinney Falls is nice. It was quiet. One day we will spend more days there and explore the Austin area. A camper we met somewhere told me you can’t get anywhere in Austin as the population grew faster than the infrastructure. Morning walk was a there and back…
A bit of a rocky sleep due to the wind but it was good. We ended up having the 3 RVs (us included) and one SUV parked overnight in the lookout. We awoke to clean air as the dust had settled. The sky was cloudless. Here is a shot of the van and the valley…
Good night sleep for the price of a dozen eggs! Earlier wakeup than we like, and it was raining a bit. I got ready and headed out with my windbreaker on towards the paths along the irrigation ditches. About 450m in, the light drizzle became a heavier rain so I turned around as I was…
