The yard sale was fun, but I am so happy it’s over! Despite a busy week, I completed all the advance work: radio announcement, signs, change. Friday evening I set up out on the lawn and arranged furniture inside.I awoke 6 AM on Saturday morning to finish setting up. My goal was to get rid of…
The memories of my 6-week trip in my popup camper seem distant even though I have been back only a few weeks. The early onset of fall pushes those warm summer adventures even deeper into the past. So, I am eager to write-up my last notes, including tidbits of wisdom that others can use. Get…
I try to avoid clichés, but one sets the tone for my thoughts today: necessity is the mother of invention. After the first week of living in the popup camper, my whole body froze. I was achy and had sharp jabbing pain in an oblique muscle, which I pulled while sleeping (note: Drew Brees also…
I know this is home: I recognize the furniture and fixutres.Yet, it seems oddly foreign after a month + in Half Moon. When I started the laundry, I looked for the coin slots–nothing. And those odd toilets bolted to the floor. And all those kitchen cupboards, and soooo much room. This morning I looked for my…

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…
