This year’s trip out west shifted to become more about the destination than the journey as we traveled to Overland Expo West 2018. We normally like to take our time and experience sites we’ve not seen yet when we travel. It took us a speedy two days to travel from our home in Missouri …
#034 – Terrible Sadness Changed Our Plans
April was not at all as we had planned. It had to be the most difficult month we’ve ever experienced. It was trying on our emotions and we were so drained that we couldn’t agree on how many days were even in April. The long and difficult month had made it even difficult for me to talk …
#031 – Delayed Departure But Still A Blast
Our overland trip westward was supposed to begin on April 13 but needed to be delayed.

Then we were just going to continue …

#027 – Getting Away After Rental House Repairs
Our rental property is in between tenants and that means there’s work to do. This time, we aren’t doing all the work ourselves and have asked for help. Good folks like Queen City Disposal dropped off a dumpster so that we could fill it up with stuff left by the last tenants. Stuff like a …
#025 – Not What We Expected
For weeks, Robert has been looking forward to a local Mountain Man Rendezvous. The day finally arrived and we were ready! The February day was crisp but beautiful. We set out on the relatively short drive of 80 miles. Robert was decked out in his mountain man clothes ready to mingle. Once we arrived, it …
#024 Frozen Lake, VHF & Push-up Poles
It was another weekend of Hamvangelist activities as Robert enjoyed VHF contesting. It all started on Friday when we went to Sarcoxie, MO for a Craigslist find.
