My three days at state fair were as expected: hot, dusty, full of fun and fueled by fair food. Nothing better than BBQ brisket, although I can do without curly fries or ice cream dots. Scenes from the Fair: At the Wyoming Author’s booth I enjoyed meeting people and talking about my book.I did great;…
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…
Birding has been quiet. I am learning that the dog days of summer are not prime birding times. Spring and Fall migrations are better. However, birds are out there, it just takes more effort to find them. I am not really a serious birder and don’t make a great deal of effort, but I love…
Yesterday Tango and I skeedaddled out of the high plains in far northern Wyoming. We headed for the stunning scenery of the Big Horn Mountains. My water tank was empty so I filled up with water in the campground using my hose and the campground drinking water. I was also certain that my propane was…
I packed up and moved about 130 miles, back into my home state of Wyoming. Photos of my new digs tomorrow. I am in Keyhole State Park, and I found a huge site overlooking a lagoon. First thing I did after “popping up” was open all the windows. Ahhhhh. Then, I connected the solar panel…
The property where I am staying is lovely, with tennis courts, miniature golf, pool, hot tub and more; however, this is not my thing. I have close neighbors and can hear them yelling and their phones ringing. Dogs bark. I long for more solitude and a beautiful natural setting. I have not gotten out my…
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…
Another adventurer and blogger posted about their upcoming tour around the Great Lakes. The following is from their post: We’ll be driving much of the U.S. shorelines that touches the five Great Lakes. We are starting from the Lake Ontario shoreline near Otswego, NY, and then making our way to Lake Erie and Pennsylvania, Ohio and…
Been curious about Malaysia, considering it is constantly in the news.Since all the public figures speak English, I already figured that it was a a former British colony. New things I learned: Malaysia has an extremely healthy tech and science-based economy, Islam is the state religion, and it’s medical tourism is increasing rapidly. People from…
