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…
Sleep good. Early rise. Shortish walk at 3.6 km as we had a schedule and I only had 30 minutes or so. I did see a coyote (4 legged kind) in the wash/canal/drainage ditch (whichever you choose to call it). I attempted to grab a picture but fortunately he did not like me and took…
Boom! Good enough night sleep. Walk was in the city shoes around the familiar safe roads / pathways of the area. No pictures taken. After breakfast we forced Mrs Milddogs to enjoy the pool while Amy and I headed over in the van to the local Fry’s supermarket. I fired up the generator and turned…
Quartzite has been good to us. At the time of year we have gone we love the wide open spaces and lack of other people (for the most part) doing stupid things (for the most part). Maybe when it is free you drop your standards a bit. To meet our goals today we had to…
Sleep comes to those that sleep. And sleep I did. No strange dreams about operatic infants. No coyotes howling outside the van (although that would be a little bit cool, but maybe not right outside the van). Beautiful warm morning. I took a walk east on the “road” for about 2.5 km then turned around…
