Roughing it in Grand Teton National Forest

It is a funny feeling; not looking forward to moving onto the next location. That is the reality of this place to Kerri and I, we have been looking forward to the Teton Forest for months and now that we are here we are happy to sit idle for as...

Going to Grand Teton

I knew it was a little risky to start moving North so early in the season, but we had spent the last four weeks in RV parks and the options in Colorado for boondocking is very slim at this time of the year. Instead of waiting around for the weather...

Fine drinks and a fine town

It is all about the company you keep and this day only backs that argument up. When offered to accompany a cocktail aficionado to where that person has been looking forward to going for some time, you accept. I did, and rewarded I was. Dram Apothecary was the destination, and...

Buffalo Bills grave

Lookout Mountain watches over our camp in Golden, Colorado. Just up that mountain (if you can dodge all the bicyclists along the way) is the William F Cody (aka Buffalo Bill) grave and Museum. Kerri and I agreed that when Buffalo Bill wished for his body to be buried here...

Colorado Railroad Museum

In an attempt to give Kerri some time to actually work without me distracting her, I got out to visit the Colorado Railroad Museum just 2 miles away from the RV park. These are the little things that I would not normally do, but for when I have all the...

The past days have been spent finalizing the errands that brought me to Longmont to begin with, the largest of which was getting the ol’ Datsun repaired so Timmy had a vehicle to wreck drive for the summer. The Datsun was finally completed on Friday, just a single day before...

Left handed

Way back in February while boondocking outside of Ajo, Arizona Kerri and I ate dinner at the 100 Estrella Restaurant (pretty much the only restaurant in Ajo worthy of more than a single star). There, along with our food, she ordered a “Nitro” Milk Stout from the bar which went...

Classic Video Games & Pinball

There was a time when I would mow a lawn each week, grab my $7 payment and ride my BMX bike to the nearest arcade and blow every last hard earned quarter on Galaga or Space Invaders. Over the years, my tastes developed to include pinball. In my late teens...

Still Cellars

Still Cellars is a distillery housed in an off-beat industrial area of Longmont, Colorado. Longmont is not even a very hip place, so when suggested to me by a blog reader(thank you Janel!) I took advantage to setup an evening out at Still Cellars. Considering how much Kerri enjoys her...
