We started off slow in Yosemite. On Wednesday morning I got up early and spent the entire morning dawdling over work rather than rushing out and hiking the park. This may seem like a cardinal sin in Yosemite, but I felt like getting some things cleaned up and I was taking advantage of the fact […]
This is the farthest we’ve ever taken this Airstream north ( 51 °11’0.62″N). In mid-October at this latitude, our solar panels still generate some power, but not nearly enough to compensate for the furnace. Nights are running in the low 30s and daytime highs are in the 50s, with the sun passing by at a […]
We’re parked at Bert & Janie’s house in Bigfork, MT, near the beautiful Flathead Lake. We’re here to catch up on a few things before we head across the border to Canada. Mostly we have an enormous pile of mail to dig through. Emma’s school curriculum arrived in two large boxes which will […]

The weather has turned colder now, and we’re expecting some snow overnight. It is starting to feel like winter up here at 7000 feet. Hard to believe it’s just the […]
