After spending the day in the bus, driving up the Dalton and eating some really good rhubarb pie that we got at Yukon Station, we spent the night at Coldfoot. Coldfoot is small and probably just chock full of cold feet most of the year. We set an alarm and got up at 2:00 AM….
The third day out on our trip, we got on board a small bus – or a large van – or whatever it was, and headed out on day one on the Dalton Highway. One of our first stops was at Joy. Above is a shot of the Wildwood General Store at Joy, where we…
These pics were taken in late October of 2011 at Henry Cowell State Park. Cowell is the in the Santa Cruz Mountains, near Felton, California. Several weeks ago, we ordered an Aliner Sport, hard-sided popup camping trail, and this was our first outing with it.
Do you ever – ever – do only one thing at a time anymore? I’m not sure I do. If I’m doing something, I’m thinking about something else. If I’m doing something else, I’m doing another something else at the same time. I doubt this works all that well, but I can’t seem to figure…
They Can Definitely Compare The watermelon-smashing comic, Gallagher, said that about cats. His point was that if you bought a bunch of a type of cat food, then that was the cat food that your cat was never going to eat again. Because they can’t count, but they can compare. I don’t know how seriously…
Since we live on the West Coast, we’ve ended up going on several Mexican Riviera cruises. They’re nice. Usually the weather’s good, the departure ports are convenient, and they’re usually reasonably priced. Good deal. We went on one of these just about two years ago. I’d looked the shore excursions over and liked the looks…
I work from a home office. Really, I do work from a home office. And that home office is nearly always some unholy sinkhole of cluttered awfulness. There’re stacks on stacks. The stacks have married and bred little stacks. About 10 years ago, the cat took over a large portion of my desk and won’t…
We don’t take long breaks when we hike. It isn’t that we’re demon-strong hikers; it’s just that we can’t get going again if we stop the long. The engines stall, and we have to whine our way back to the trail head. If it’s a long hike, 6 hours or more, we do need to…
Most people have some kind of theory about where everything came from and where it’s going. Probably, for most people, this involves some kind of creation by some kind of higher power and some kind of universal destination, also guided by that higher power. I’m not a religious person, but I still have a theory….
