Another exciting episode! Our last episode left off at Angel Peak, New Mexico. It was time to cross into Utah. Our first stop was Bluff, Utah. Robert had heard about the little town and wanted to stop. We were impressed with their little downtown. For such a tiny town, it has a lot to offer. …
#62 – OVERLAND WEST TRIP | New Mexico
After we hiked the highest point in Oklahoma, Black Mesa, we headed toward New Mexico. We headed toward Clayton NM. During our trip, the Jeep’s engine made a weird “hick-up” so Robert checked to see if any codes were thrown. Sure enough, there was, so when we were in Clayton, we were on a hunt …
#61 – Overland West Trip | Oklahoma
We left for our month long overland trip at a ridiculously early hour. Our plan was to barrel through and have a very long travel session until we got to Soccoro, New Mexico. We wanted to stop at the Very Large Array. Things didn’t go as planned. When we arrived at the Great Salt Plains …
#60 – Packing for Overland Expo West
It’s that time of year again. We are ready for our month long overland trip to the southwest. We volunteer at Overland Expo West. We don’t like to make a quick trip of it. Instead of going out there and coming right back home, we make a month long trip out of it. Before we …
#59 – Another Weekend Another Hamfest and MORE!
What the heck? Another Hamfest? Indeed, it was. This time we were off to Kansas City to attend Hambash, hosted by the Ararat Shrine Amateur Radio Club. We arrived to a packed parking lot at opening time. We fought our way through the crowded isles. I actually found something to buy before Robert! Then, when …
#58 – A Little Soggy at the Hamfest
For this week’s podcast, you’ll hear a lot of background noise. When we recorded, it was windy, rainy and there was a train nearby. We were camped in Claremore, Oklahoma’ city campground next to the Expo Center. Not a bad campground at all for being right in the middle of town. I enjoyed a nice …
#57 – Mountain Men in Oklahoma
We had been looking forward to this trip since we found out about this event in December. We returned to Woolaroc near Bartlesville, Oklahoma to enjoy their spring mountain man traders encampment. When we first arrived we saw Moe Cresswell. Robert met Moe for the first time at the Pomme de Terre Rendezvous last year. …
#56 – Crawford State Park & Shooting Black Powder
Beautiful weather had us anxious to get us out and about. We tootled around Fort Scott, KS for a bit. We wanted to see something new, so we made our way to Crawford State Park near Farlington, KS. We enjoyed the Saturday drive to the park and decided to have a little picnic. The park …
#55 – Celebrating Our Wedding Anniversary with a Road Trip and Fur Coats
We celebrated our ninth wedding anniversary by going to Concordia, Missouri to the 8th Annual Pre-1865 Living History Trade Fair. We got up early and headed north from home. Our drive was only about three hours and the night before we had a bit of snow, but that didn’t deter our outing. Robert met up …
#54 – A Birthday Adventure to Woolaroc
It was Robert’s Birthday and he wanted to go somewhere special. We left home and headed west into Kansas then south to Oklahoma. We ended up at the Woolaroc Museum & Wildlife Preserve in Bartlesville, Ok. It is a special place that was created by Frank Phillips back in the 1920s. Frank Phillips was …
