Joanie’s blog…in her words. Sorry, no pictures. 1. The PB “Cozy Pom Pom Sherpa Throw” Kate & Blaine gifted me at Christmas. It seriously saved me from freezing to death some nights! It’s the softest thing ever. We had temps of high 30’s-40’s on many nights! Small Airstream – 19’ Little Al seems small andContinue reading “Best “Things””

Finally we get Joan’s side, here we go…in Joan’s words: Me?, Moi? A Guest Blogger he asks? Sure, I’ll take a shot at it although I don’t have the humor ol’ Marco does. My Top 5 are a little different than Marc’s top 5. 1. South Dakota is number one on my list and itContinue reading “Joanie’s First”

While waiting on guest blogger Joanie… In no particular order. 1. The Window Incident. Without placing any blame, let’s just say that “it could happen to anyone”. I would say, “I love my Joanie but sometimes she can be a little aggressive”. And on day 1! 2. Montana. Really, you couldn’t just have one roadContinue reading “Bottom 5”

Just a couple of days left before we get home and I’ve come up with my “top 5” from our first trip in Little Al. Hopefully I can get Joan to do the same tomorrow. In no particular order. 1. Santa Fe, New Mexico. Great start to the trip; the city is clean, crisp weatherContinue reading “Top 5”

Update. Two days late…got to figure out Wifi hotspot for next trip?! Today we just…drove. Heading back to Texas; nothing against Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma but really couldn’t find anything interesting to see along the way we haven’t already seen…so we just drove. With over 2,000+ miles already on our trip, I was pretty happyContinue reading “Just Pedaling”

Heading to Dallas to see baby Fi… On the way out of Custer what would we come across but another National Park. And guess who wants to go see it…right, my trusty sidekick?! This one happens to be the 7th longest cave system in the world, Wind Cave National Park. Again we were unable toContinue reading “Heading South”

When Al Gore invented the internet it would have been nice if he notified South Dakota so they could have signed up, the slow service here is starting to cramp our style. All of my backgammon rivals are complaining too, they have no one else to help run up their score. Today we made theContinue reading “The Badlands”

As we continue to experience the RV life, Joan and I are more than happy with our travels and our 19’ world. We have, however, started to question the rating system on some of the RV parks that we have chosen. In most cases we didn’t have a lot of choices, but it always seemsContinue reading “Custer SD and Mt. Rushmore”

Today it happened. Joan and I were hiking on a remote trail, should have been around more people, when we came upon some sort of carcass recently killed. Although we knew better, we walked up close to it when IT happened. Out of the corner of my eye I could see a big black hairyContinue reading “Mammoth Hot Springs and North Yellowstone”

Riddle me this…if we left Colter Bay in the Grand Tetons and drove 113 miles to Gardner MT, why did it take almost 4 hours to get here? Answer…numerous stops and a speed limit of 30-45 mph the whole way, I feel like I just drove around the moon and back. The wondrous views madeContinue reading “On The Road Again”
