I rolled out of bed a bit earlier today than usual for this trip. It was 8 something, early ate something, I think. I rolled out of bed because, unlike usual, I had to go to the bathroom first thing in the morning instead of after eating breakfast. And, no, not the kind of bathroom … Continue reading 2023-10-17 — Rebar Floss

I ate breakfast in the van this morning, just called cereal, and then I hopped on the tractor and got going again moving road base from the road base pile to the upper parking lot pad. Back and forth and back and forth and back and forth. 🙃 Once again, I ate some sandwiches for … Continue reading 2023-10-16 — Round and Round

I really don't want to write another post right now. I'm tired and just want to go to bed, even though it's not even 9:30 p.m., yet. But, got to do it sometime, right? Woke up, Hans and Heather left for church earlier than we did because Heather is helping a little 5-year-old boy learn … Continue reading 2023-10-15 — Hot Springs Birthday

Happy Saturday! I slept in today. I think I didn't even get out of the van until maybe even after 10:00? I don't remember for sure might have been nine something. But it was quite late. I had stayed up pretty late writing journal entries, so that contributed to falling asleep late and thus, sleeping … Continue reading 2023-10-14 — Tractor Day

Cold cereal breakfast, and then it was off to rapid City to run errands with Heather and Hans. First stop on the list was to go to the windshield replacement shop. The appointment was for 11:00, and rapid City is I think maybe a 40 minute drive? I honestly don't remember, but I think it's … Continue reading 2023-10-13 — Rapid City

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
