Before we got to our campground last night, there were lights flashing near the entrance of the canyon about some kind of a weather warning and possibly pass closure-- something like that, at least. When we woke up in the morning, after getting ready for the day, when we pulled out of the road that … Continue reading 2023-10-12 — Steaming Detour

I woke up in the morning but a fairly decent hour this time, I think. It was raining, but right by the trunk of the evergreen tree next to where we had parked, there was a dry spot which I took advantage of to stretch in an effort to calm down my unhappy nerves. I've … Continue reading 2023-10-11 — Yellowstone

Back to it! (writing this on the 15th, looking back) I think I slept in quite a bit that morning. I want to say it was pretty cold. I can't even picture the campsite, funny enough. It was a forest service campground, but I can't remember what it looked like or what it was called … Continue reading 2023-10-10 — Tetellowstone

One of the reasons we spent the entire day in Boulder after church instead of driving on down the road to our next destination was that we were going to go to the Lewis and Clark Caverns, and we didn't want to do that on a Sunday, and they probably weren't even open on a … Continue reading 2023-10-09 — The Grand Tetons… 😅

We didn't get the longest night sleep because we didn't get to bed until somewhere between 2:00 and 3:00 a.m., And we had church at 10:00 a little ways down the highway, gratefully not far. But I think we probably woke up somewhere around 9ish? I don't remember for sure. It was Fast Sunday, so … Continue reading 2023-10-08 — Boulder Branch

Back at it again. Let's play a little catch up, shall we? 😅 (It's Friday the 13th as I'm looking back writing this). Where was I? Oh... Canada. Oh, Canada 🎶🍁🇨🇦🥌 (extra points if you know what the last emoji is without having to look it up 🙃). Let's see... we woke up Saturday morning, … Continue reading 2023-10-07 — Oh, Canada

I think we both got a relatively decent night's sleep, which was nice. We got up, ate some corn chex 😁, filled up the gas, and pointed the nose of the van east. Not really having any idea what I was getting into with Glacier National Park, thinking that it was a really really big … Continue reading 2023-10-06 — Glacier National Park

I definitely felt better today. Having a day off for the body I think helped a decent bit, and with that improvement, I also found my mental emotional health significantly improved. That was nice. Really nice. I think I made it inside maybe somewhere around 10:30? I'm just making a number up, but that's probably … Continue reading 2023-10-05 — Wagons East!

There's not really much to tell about today. I was in a fair amount of pain, and oftentimes that leads to being in a really bad place mentally and emotionally as well, and today was no exception. I didn't want to get up. I didn't want to go inside. I didn't want to be social. … Continue reading 2023-10-04 — 😫 Ugh.

I wasn't doing so well today. We got up in the morning and headed north for about 10 minutes on the freeway before we got to an exit that would allow us to turn around and go all the way back to Centralia. But we made it back to Centralia and met Mom's friend Suzi … Continue reading 2023-10-03 — Body Battle, Day 1
