I think everyone can agree that 2020 was not a typical year, and most are ready for it to end.  We have all had to make adjustments and learn to be more aware and cautious.  While some areas were harder hit than others, no area was left untouched by the virus.  Travelling full time in an RV was not without its risks, and I feel like it gave us a really good perspective on the effect this virus has had throughout the country.  As the year went on, it got increasingly harder to get out and do things (and my blogging slowed dramatically), but, despite all of the challenges that…

  I am not sure where this year has gone! ?‍♀️  It is already November.  Halloween came and went this year (as did the whole month of September and October) and I haven’t gotten a post up.  I have a few things to post about that I gathered over the course of those two months, I just have not had the opportunity to post them.  Now that I do, I thought I would start with Miller Farm, since it is a recent visit, and Fall is one of my favorite times of the year to visit a Farmer’s Market or Farm stand. Farmer markets are the best for getting fresh, local…

“Each mile on a river will take you farther from home  than a hundred miles on a road.” – Bob Marshall   As I made my way into Montana this past week, the Clark Fork River followed me, twisting and winding its way right alongside the interstate as I drove.  There is something about the water, whether it is the crashing waves of the ocean, the silence of a large lake, or the power of a mighty river, that I am drawn to.  As I watched the river follow me, I thought about how much fun it would be to just pull over, unload the kayak and just paddle my…

“There’s a great big hunk  of world out there with no fence around it”                                                                                                                -Lady and the Tramp   In this post, I am actually going to combine several outings.  They are just a couple of nature walks and a little kayaking, but even though they were smaller outings, they were fun adventures that I…

Ask anyone today what they think of when they think about Cheyenne, Wyoming.  Most will probably say “Frontier Days”, or, “rodeos”. It is, after all, home to the Daddy of ’em All as far as rodeos go.  I have been to both, and it is, hands down, the best rodeo I have ever been to! Cheyenne, to this day, has the reputation of a wild west town.  While that is definitely a large part of the history of Cheyenne, there was also a time when Cheyenne was home to some really wealthy people and run by the rich.  Though short lived, a lot happened during this time, and many buildings were constructed. …

This was actually a hike that we took in mid May – back when the temperatures were not in the triple digits as they are now ?.  Even for mid May, it was a little too warm if you were to get a late start.  We arrived at the trail head at around 10 in the morning, and by the end of the hike, it was pretty hot out.  If we ever hike it again (or do ANY hike in this area, for that matter), early Spring and Fall are probably the best time of year to hit the trails here.  That said, this was a fantastic hike! Frenchman Mountain…
