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…

Beam me up, count me in. Three, two one, let’s begin. Let’s get this out of the way. Caprock Canyon is a special place and we are fortunate to have the opportunity to spend time here. Even if we have to change sites 3 times. Worth it! You should visit it. Let’s finish off last…

In this episode, we will tell you all about our night and morning at Abilene State Park.  Then, we will tell you all about our journey to Caprock Canyon State Park.  If you stick around until the very end, we will let you in on a secret.   Despite the forecasts, it did not rain…
