Ten years ago today it was the day after my first child graduated High School and I set out from home to meet up with DenDog so we could start our adventure to Alaska by motorcycle. We had three weeks to complete the journey so there was going to be a lot of watching the…
Howdy, Been a while. We are home, in case that was not clear. Living in a space larger than 85 square feet. So much room. In total we drove 8714 km. Seems like a lot, but not as much as last time. We averaged 14.41 litres/100km or 16.32 mpg(US). Our average speed was 83 km/h…
Thunderstorms rolled through on Friday night. Amy doesn’t like thunder so we got some extra cuddle time until the early morning (past midnight). I believe this was the same storm front that caused much damage in the United States of America. Saturday and Sunday walks were pretty much the same route up to Canatara Beach…
It rained last night. Not as much as they forecast, but enough to wake us up a bit. You know what I forgot? There are train tracks right near Mounds State Park. I remembered the small airport, but not the train tracks. Didn’t really keep us up much. Still a good place. Morning walk was…
Let’s talk about the West St Louis KOA. I’ll try to be clear. Don’t stay there. Enough? Well, if it is summer and you will be running your A/C all night and don’t care about traffic noise nor trains running right past the park, by all means, stay there. Or maybe you want something close…
Last night before bed I took some pictures of the area around the Bass Pro. I am not sure they are what I was hoping to capture. Maybe I was shivering? I can still make the whole place shiver. We slept pretty well. Thank you Bass Pro and thank you citizens of Broken Arrow for…
So much cold. So much warmth. So much love. So many Turkeys. So many vistas. Lovely night sleep in the cold. It’s nice to have a furnace. It’s double nice to have a furnace that runs on electricity or propane. We knew the forecast said it would dip below zero and we were mostly ready….
Sleeping in is fun to do when you let it be good for you. Normally at home life, I awaken between 0515 and 0630. Get up, go for a walk and commute to the basement for work (please don’t let that commute change). By about end of work day, I’m good for a nap. On…
Yesterday’s un-reported not that exciting excitement. On our walk we saw a tumbleweed tumbling. The dude adjacent too us looked like he was having a fire (there is a burn ban on pretty much everywhere) but his fire was propane powered so that was acceptable. The people in the tent across from us may have…
What up weather forecast? You said the wind would dissipate at night. You were not accurate! Stars were beautiful. Because the wind was supposed to die down, we left our outdoor carpet out doors weighted with shoes and rocks. The wind picked up to 40km/h steady and 60 km/h gusts. We were parked head into…
