Back from Denver and busy at work again. Now, in just 2 weeks I leave for a 6-week adventure in my popup camper. The van and camper are essentially packed and ready. My real challenge is to tie up loose ends for work. Before I leave, I am planning a series of posts about what…
A few weeks ago I found this 25 cent pocket thingy at the thrift store. I knew immediately it would become a gadget/phone holder on the edge of my bed. I believe that the original owner folded a place mat and stitched down the pockets. Will remember that trick for later. I added a…
I arrived in Denver midday and set up Half Moon in a little RV park. This is a new experience for me since I always camp in the great outdoors with lots of elbow room and privacy. The park is on an urban thoroughfare, not far from I 70. Right next door is a large…
Tomorrow I leave for a 3-day trip to Denver. I have some work-related appointments Thursday, and my son is moving to a new apartment on Friday (emptied out the van so I can help him). On Saturday, he graduates from fire academy. I am looking forward to spending time with him and his lovely lady,…
An interesting new study for those of us who wander in wolf and mountain lion territory: JACKSON, Wyo. – Mountain lions go out of their way to avoid wolves, according to new research done in northwest Wyoming. The research conducted by the Teton Cougar Project finds that the cats in Jackson Hole spend a disproportionate…
T-minus 21 days and counting! I leave then on my 6-week sabbatical, during which I will travel in my popup camper, Half Moon. So, time to finish up my redecorating project, which I fondly call the Woman Cave Project. A few days ago I completed the new valances. These valances are over 10 feet long…
Most people think that all dogs are natural swimmers. Not true. My dog, Tango, hates the water and will only dog paddle if he absolutely must. He prefers to sort of glom onto me– he expects me to carry him out of the water. So, what about dog safety on the water? I purchased a…
If these amazing sculptures were nearby (they are in Singapore), I would take off right now to see them! Photos: James Doran.
I left Sunday evening with the popup camper, headed for Glendo State Park, about 30 miles north. The highlight was testing out my inflatable boat. It worked good but I need to inflate it more. Tango’s doggie life vest was too big and went back to Amazon. So, this time he had to run along…
I have changed my sabbatical camping trip route many times, but I think this is it! If you would like to see where I am headed on July 14, please click on route. The whole trip is about 2,000 miles. I bought a Kindle book called Montana’s Birding Trails, and have used that to plan the entire route. I…
