For months, Bird has been terrified of drones. If we see one, she talks about it for days. If she thinks she hears one, she stops in her tracks. So, clearly, we have kept ours tucked far away lest she sees the case and gets scared. However, over the past week or so, she’s beenContinue reading “Our Drone Saga”

Boondocking Our Way Across the Great Basin on Public Land, California and Nevada
In the month of September, we moved fast, which meant we had multiple single-night stop overs to get lots of miles under the tires.

Star Gazing in the Bighorn Mountains, Wyoming
Going off-grid in the Bighorn Mountains for a weekend was literally and figuratively a breath of fresh air.

Campground Review and Hike at Maumee Bay State Park, Ohio
Our first stop after leaving Pennsylvania was at Maumee Bay State Park in northwest Ohio. The park is situated along Lake Erie just outside of Toledo and was an unexpected gem.

I never see turtles in the wild, so imagine my surprise when I see turtles at every turn after sending prayers to God for guidance and patience.
Weathering Winter Storm Uri in Columbus, Texas
We have been so lucky to dodge storms and stay mostly out of freezing temperatures, but when you are going to face a storm, why not make it the biggest storm the area has seen in over 30 years?
