TEXAS! Since we have some bars of 5G here I have updated the earlier posts with pictures and more gooder English words. Beautiful quite night last night. Sleep was had. My morning walk at the previous spot was fine. They have a decent trail system mostly up on that ridge. As we had discovered the…
A good night sleep in a relatively empty campground! Morning walk was mostly along the campground roads with some trails. Since we had minimal connectivity I couldn’t look up trails on AllTrails and we did not get a map when we checked in. Well, there was no checkin, we just went to our site….
Cabelas was super quiet. We were a bit concerned as we were parked beside a few tractor trailers and a large Class A motorhome. All quiet. The wind died down enough by 2300 and sleep was ours. On most days, I naturally awaken between 0500 and 0630. This morning, despite the darkness and the stress…
Apologies in advance. This series may contain many references to the album “Wet Leg” by the band “Wet Leg”. If you have not listened to that album, you should. And listen start to finish, in order! Welcome to this years epic van trip by we Milddogs! Day one we went from our home town to…
True, it was a chilly night. The furnace, even with the aforementioned stealth lowering of the temperature, kept us warm enough. I delayed my departure for the morning walk as it was a bit cold and, with no cell coverage, I wanted to be able to share my destination with Mrs Milddogs. According to the…
Twas a lovely, rain free but cool overnight in Salem. We ran the furnace a little bit to take the edge off. Happy to have a dual fuel furnace as we can use electricity when plugged in (or running the generator – comfort is not always cost effective). Obviously there was a mandatory objective for…
Today we had to work around the forecast. By work around, I mean we had to stay out of the rain which nature had planned to be happening most of the day. Today’s morning walk was going to be shorter given the rainy and stormy forecast. Other motivation was we were going to try a…
Beautiful Day! Sleep last night was precious. Morning walk had a purpose. Despite the slight miscalculation, I headed out to one of the bakeries. Round trip was just under 6 km. Picked up some lovely treats like the mandatory baguette, a sticky bun, a croissant or two or three. It was a nice walk along…
Thank you rain. We had it pretty heavy last night. Slept well though. There were flood warnings in the area we were. Fortunately, there was not sufficient rain to wipe out the ridge we were on and plummet us into the scenic waterfront pond down below. Morning walk was a bit bit boring. I had…
Whew, do not say that name three times in a row. You have been warned! Decent sleep last night. Rained heavily on and off. At one point I thought Mrs Milddogs was awake and scurrying about trying to do something. But, that was not the case. It was just the cyclical sound of water falling…
