We designate Labor Day as our very big driving day. Not only we are determined to gain some significant ground on getting home, we are also trying to outrun the weather system that fell as snow in South Dakota and rain everywhere south of it. We quickly consider dropping down south about 5 hours and …
In the morning we try and sleep in since past week was the week of early mornings and late nights as we were adding remote schooling to our mental load.The pup does not agree and gets Sol up before the sunrise. We make the rest of the way to South Dakota with lots of plans …
Girls are in school in the morning while we are working/packing up camp. We are off to Bozeman in the afternoon, so, we are saying goodbye to Yellow Stone. What a glorious place. Girls (and I) don’t want to leave.We raise our sail once again and drive couple of hours with a stop by yellow …
Another early morning with school. Luckily the weather is much better and we can spread out a little. Sasha, who has her PE class, is jumping around the trailer while I am catching coffee cups raining from the counter. May be we need to level the trailer a little.Afternoon is glorious, sunny and warm but …
We are up before dawn as we need to set up for the 1st day of school. The girls will be using their computers for Zoom sessions at our dinette as it is too cold outside. Dinette also doubles as mine and Sol’s bed, so, we need to be out of it and having assembled …
In the morning we are excited to go. Sol makes pancakes for breakfast and we load in the car. The camp site is only about 4 blocks from the entrance to the park but the park is so vast, spanning Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho that to get anywhere within it we would drive at least …
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 …
