On the 30th day of our travels Sol is up early. While we fight to sleep some more he has done the dishes, organized the car and is ready to go. We are determined to arrive in West Yellow Stone tonight. So, away we drive into the plains of Idaho with coffee cups at the …
I work in the morning while kids leisurely wake up. It’s 44 degrees outside in the morning but rather quickly warms up to around 80 in a couple of hours. With that, Sol takes girls to explore the local rivers. They are lucky and find a swimming hole where you could jump in from the …
I work on ‘my’ bench again while Sol packs up camp and girls catch the last frogs. They come through town to pick me up around noon.We say good bye to Mendocino and are headed up the coast almost to the border between California and Oregon. We make a quick stop in Eurika. Sol convinces …
Early in the morning Sol drops me off ocean side and I affix myself to the corner of ‘my’ bench again. It is considerably colder today.Me and my computer’s battery last about 3 hours as it is hard to type with fingers that don’t bend. I am very alert and productive though. I walk back …

We are up before 6 am and on the road. I am putting early hours in as for the late afternoon we have grand plans for the Grand Canyon. We pull into the parking lot of Petrified Forest but we are almost 2 hours early and the park is closed. We decide to continue our …
It is so very early morning for us because we have arrived in the middle of the night and I have meetings first thing in the morning. We are now on mountain time which means my day starts an hour earlier. While I am on my first meeting Sol has to turn our rig around …
We set sail straight after Darwin’s morning swim. We have to drive with the back of the Jeep rolled up as we need to dry him. It is chilly and girls declare that their goose bumps have goose bumps! We tell them to enjoy it while it lasts as we are imminently close to entering …
Easy day as it is Monday and a first official work-on-the-road day for me. I set up shop on a picnic chair near the river and only move to follow a shady spot. For the day’s meetings my background is Arkansas River and no, it is not MS Teams new fake background. The camp has …
