Labor Day vacation in the Gorge
Nine day trip, wind for two days. 🙁 After a very cold and wet winter (got bored of all the snow), the summer has been very hot and very dry in the interior PNW, seems like The West has been … Continue reading
The Enemy’s Gate is Down.
Windsurfing requires a lot of angles to come together properly to work right. Wind comes from a direction, which changes often in direction and velocity. A sail will always tend to luff (or, in the case of a windsurfing sail, … Continue reading
Four days in The Gorge
It finally rained in Portland and Seattle, knocking down the smoke from the BC wildfires. Rain in Troutdale Sunday morning, sunny and cranking at The Hook. You gotta love physics. Both kids really enjoyed the weekend, lots of progress with … Continue reading
Travelogue, Day 8 – There and back again
We set an alarm this morning, so we’d be on the road bright and early. Kristi and I had every intention of getting back to Hilltop today. It’s Brett’s birthday (his “actual” birthday, as he’d call it) today, so we … Continue reading
Travelogue, Day 7 – Winding down
We awoke in Boise, ID this morning knowing that the trip was winding down. We stopped at a local grocery store for a few extra supplies, a quick gas stop (ran through the touchless car wash, too — there was … Continue reading
Travelogue, Day 6 – Deliverance
We awoke in Pocatello, ID this morning, bound for Craters of the Moon National Monument and points west. A quick gasup (notable for being the first time we’d found a Shell station on the trip — grumble), and we were … Continue reading
Travelogue, Day 5 – Geyser day
We woke up after a cold night on lumpy ground to air filled with mosquitoes. While trying to warm up the car and simultaneously get it loaded, each of the kids suffered several bug bites. Camp was quickly struck, and … Continue reading
Travelogue, Day 4 – Yellowstone
We awoke this morning with Yellowstone in our sights. Kristi was up at 5:30 local time, and after packing, showering, and breakfast, we were on the road by 7:30. We stopped for a quick coffee in Bozeman, then it was … Continue reading
Travelogue, Day 3 – Big Al
Today we visited the Museum of the Rockies. We intended to take Brett to Laramie, WY to see Big Al the Allosaurus at the UofWy Museum. However, it’s closed. So we decided to stop in at MoR and see what … Continue reading
Travelogue, Day 2 – on the road again
We awoke to a bright sunny day in Missoula, all ready for a day of fun on the road. After a non-starter attempt to get coffee at an espresso stand, we again headed back across town to the college area … Continue reading
