Beautiful night sleep at the Valley Country Club. Thank you Harvest Hosts. Morning walk was down into the valley and then back up. My watch recorded only 68m of elevation gain but it felt like a lot more than that. I stopped to take some pictures. Post walk we hit the road headed for home….
Howdy. I bet you thought we would have had a terrible night sleep. Turns out Travis ran out of steam at around 2130 and went silent. The crowd of his wife and the other lady that wandered over seemed appreciative of his stamina having played for about 2 hours. Miller Lite is apparently the fuel…
Another lovely morning at Assateague Island! Morning walk was towards the National Seashore part of the island. You can walk into the national park gratis, but have to pay to drive in. Was warm, but not too warm and sunny, too sunny. Did not see any horses on the walk but did see this mommy…
Oh what a glorious start to the day. We slept with the windows open on the southeast side of the van and that allowed sunrise to peek in and wake me up. I had a nice look for a bit and then closed the blinds to get some more sleep. No pictures cause, well, I…
It rained last night. It was lovely. I got up at unknown o’clock and closed the windows and overhead vent to keep the rain out. I was so stealth that Mrs Milddogs slept through my futzing about. Good job me! Morning walk was slightly delayed due to the rain. Eventually I just went out in…
Lovely walk this morning. Lackawanna was a bit muddy so I ended up turning around at a few points on some of the trails. Did not want to play fall down go boom in the mud. Lackawanna was nice. It was quiet after quiet time. It does need a lot of maintenance. Perhaps I shall…
Weather can be mean. Unknown whether weather knows it is mean. Hope all people safe from Hurricane Lee. For this adventure we had planned on staying fairly close to home and traveling around Southern Maine. Gert some seafood. See some ocean. Go places we had not been and maybe a few that we had. Like…
Alabama, why did you do this? I was ill-prepared for a time change. Our Garmin 890 GPS was obviously broken. 2.5 hours of travel and an arrival time in 1.5 hours. That doesn’t make any sense. Fortunately Waze had the “correct” arrival time. Until we hit the Alabama border. Dang, it’s like a whole different…
Another long drive today. Weather was glorious this morning, mostly. My walk took me around the busy streets near Cracker Barrel in Winchester. We hit the road around 0850 and stopped at Costco for gas. Thanks, Costco. The weather was warm but windy. We drove in irons all day. The van isn’t great into a…
Who said we don’t need plans? We sought the weather window after the freezing rain ended but early enough to make good distance before sunset. Of course allowing for border crossing and various stops. Target: 0800 Departure. Forecast said that would be fine. Should be above zero and the rain down to a sprinkle. Easy,…
