When we first pulled into the parking lot of the San Diego Zoo, I could hardly wait to step out of the door of the truck. I have been waiting to come here since before we even left Maine. After we went in and got our tickets, we headed to the zoo tour bus. We … Continue reading My AFFs (Animal Friends Forever) at the San Diego Zoo!

The Other North Coast
The air shifted and definitely became a little cooler as we drove west from the BurntwoodsStock music festival. With the music still in our ears and the fullness of heart from meeting new friends, we headed out to the Pacific coast. We had already spent the previous week around the Portland (Oregon that is… the … Continue reading The Other North Coast
The Ups and Downs of Traveling
It's been one year since we've been on the road and so far we've been to 25 states. My favorite states we've been to so far are Colorado, because it was just so lush and green, and Texas, because...well, I just liked Texas. Now, my least favorite state was Alabama. (Sorry to all the people … Continue reading The Ups and Downs of Traveling
Reflections
We have been on the road for almost a year now. In trying to find the right word to describe it, I chose: interesting. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been having the time of my life.

The Devil Made Me Do It
On our way to Devil’s Tower, Wyoming along Highway 24 I was hoping beyond reason that it would live up to all of my expectations. After all, I have been envisioning that huge monolithic tree trunk of sorts, in my mind and dreams for almost as long as I can remember. I used to … Continue reading The Devil Made Me Do It
Final Thoughts On The Ranch: A Comedic Interlude 1
So, you know those pop-up shade houses with the canvas tops that attach to the white metal frame of the structure with Velcro? What are they called? Easy Ups? Well we’ve had one of those for years. It has always been more handy when being used as a tent canopy than a shade house. In … Continue reading Final Thoughts On The Ranch: A Comedic Interlude 1
The Open Road
Every day certainly has become an adventure I must say. Between the trials of trying to master the art of RV navigation and the tribulations of trying to keep a somewhat normal life in the context of a completely un-normal situation, there are times when the stress level reaches potentially explosive proportions. But would I … Continue reading The Open Road
