Wednesday morning, after waking early, completing my morning work load and grabbing a quick breakfast, I jumped on my bike to go for a ride. Instead of the normal dirt road or trail, I opted for asphalt this trip. Hwy 191 runs North and South through the Grand Teton Nation...
Today, while lounging in the shade of the van’s awning, I made a new friend; a tiny butterfly that visited with my a few times over the afternoon. I decided to name him Jorge. He was quite persistent at hanging out with me. He sat here on my fist for...
On the way up to Teton National forest, I stumbled upon the grave of Sacajawea, who has to be the most amazing woman of all history. I’ve always been amazed by her accomplishments; traveling on foot for thousands of miles with an infant child… so to be able to see...
Well… that’s it. Saturday was the final full day in Colorado. I am packed and ready to go with all the final todo’s completed. I spent the first half of this month using (abusing?) King Sooper’s double fuel points promotion. Between Imelda and I, we worked up over 600 fuel...
I’ve been following Tony and Karen (http://rollinginarv-wheelchairtraveling.blogspot.com) for the past month or so after I noticed that they were down in the Colorado Springs area. We both regular the forums at CheapRVLiving.com and exchanged a few notes until I learned they might be passing right through town here… so we...
It was our final night together here at the Moose Lodge. Mike and Ginger are off to RV America to get repairs done in his huge 5th wheel (which could take a few days) while I am rolling out of here on Sunday afternoon. So… Mike, Ginger, and I spent...
Mike invited me to go up to a biker bar (Jerry D’s in Dacono, CO) where he was to play some music with the local musicians. Normally I am not much of a bar-scene kinda guy, and I would certainly be out of place in a biker bar, but I...
I just got back from a fantastic two night boondocking trip up in Wyoming. Not far out of Larimie Wyoming is a section of the Medicine Bow National Forest which was used for military exercises after WW2. From I80 take the Happy Jack Rd exit. It leads you straight into...
I had fully expected to spend a lot more than usual this month as I knew I would have some larger single-item expenses this month: Primarily I am talking about all the vehicle maintenance that was done on the van ($139 in parts and did the labor myself) before restarting...
That’s it, I’m done with all the routine maintenance before restarting my adventures. It all started with the oil pressure gauge fix a few days ago… yesterday I completed the oil change, transmission fluid and filter change (in desperate need), rotated the tires, replaced the front shocks (one had failed...
