After an early supper I headed up the street to the music festival. The bands each play several times over the weekend,so I have plenty of time to do other stuff. Photos from last evening: Sending these to Pfizer, maybe they can use in their commercials:
I have not stayed at many RV parks, so I don’t know if this is unusual. Instead of lining up rigs side-by-side, they are in a row, front-to-back. I find this to set up feels less cramped, less invasive. My van and most other tow vehicles are parked a few yards away. Half Moon is…
Tango and I have been on the road two days. I changed my mind about Idaho because of all the fires. So, last night we pulled over in Bozeman, MT–a beautiful small city. Today, after lots of back roads, including through Cody, WY, we ended up in Ten Sleep, WY in the western foothills of…
I read that the Broncos play Seattle Seahawks this coming Thursday, and the only thing that I like as much as camping is football. However, the antenna wire for my satellite radio is broken.Well, that settles it: time to wander off again. I figure I will drive the 50 miles to Missoula and stop at…
I have said before that I have a wild life jinx. When I am looking for interesting critters, everything takes off, or a rare species dives into the thick brush, or a purple-eyed peeper flies off just as I come around the corner. I experience the same jinx here. In an area with abundant wildlife,…
By noon Sunday, most of the weekend campers left. By dinnertime, a whole new set moved in, including an interesting young couple. They are cute as pie and have a little pickup truck and a tent. Reminds me of my early camping days, say 40 years ago! The young woman has an interesting wardrobe for…
Technically, I have been on my sabbatical for 18 days, but that is close enough to 3-weeks. Besides, I am in the habit now of writing a summary on Sunday evening. This week, I am using the FAQ format based on questions asked by other campers/travelers. Why aren’t you afraid to camp alone? I am not…
That last few Sunday’s I have not thought much about my church family back home. I have been too busy traveling, settling in, adjusting to this 6-week lifestyle, which took more time than I expected. I have wonderful people to fill in for me and I know everyone is enjoying hearing someone else and/or having a…
Tango and I walked to the lake again for our evening swim, when all the kids were back in their campsites. Tango never gets in, but loves to run around down there. A view from the beach: An awwwwww moment: On the way back, we were scouting for bears and found a clump of…
I don’t have one photo from today, but I do have lots of good stories. For one thing, a soft rain is falling on Half Moon as I snuggle into bed. Tango has long since buried himself somewhere in the blankets. This is our first rain. Somehow it seems appropriate being in the northwest ecosystem.…
