3 AM, I feel zen. Imagine it is 0342 (that’s 3:42 a.m.) and it’s muggy and hot. You are plugged into electricity and have this massive rarely used air conditioner on your roof. Who wouldn’t wake up their spouse and turn on the A/C? We all would, it’s just fair game! We joined the chorus…
(now with pictures) Caddo Lake is a pretty cool park. The site that Mrs Milddogs picked for night #2 was great. It was so cool backing onto the bayou, even if it lacked gators. We had some rain in the night but nothing that woke us up. We had discussed an earlier than usual for…
Nice to not have to migrate far today. Shout out to some great neighbours / friends back home. This is them tag-teaming our driveway after the big snowfall we conveniently avoided. Pretty good night’s sleep last night. You can hear the 2 lane highway not far from the campground and the train tracks. I don’t…
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…
