Last Camping Spot
We’re at Jarrell Cove State Park in Washington State. It’s the last place to camp before heading home. I am bringing the last of my mom’s stuff home to sort through. This may be confusing for some of you but no explanation today. The next week or so will be spent getting that together. My…

Sheridan is Really Stunning
I am better today but still looking forward to getting home. We should be there in about six weeks. I am hoping to be at Coffee on October first. Jack and I have taken a few hikes around the area and the landscape is stunning. The skies are blue and white, the colors you find…

I am homesick
If I tell you I am fine today I am lying. I am feeling really homesick this weekend. I have been out here, now, for almost 5 months. I knew I would be tired by now so this is no surprise. Just going to sit still and be sad for a little bit. I am…

Sheridan, Wyoming
Jack and I are in Sheridan, Wyoming. We’re staying at a KOA and it is pretty nice. They have a swimming pool and we may take advantage of that, Or, at least, I will. Jack is not allowed. We are going to spend a few days here. My dad lived in Sheridan in his teens…

Leaving Wallace Today
We’re packing up and leaving Wallace today. I have really enjoyed my time here. I walked 15 miles on the Trail of the Coeur d’ Alene, a trail on the Great American Rail Trail. Just FYI, first walk was easy but I thought the second walk would kill me. They did damage my left big…

Wallace, Idaho
Right now Jack and I are camping in Burke Canyon just outside of Wallace, Idaho. It’s in Northern part of Idaho and incredibly beautiful. Pine trees up the sides of the mountains on both sides of a narrow stretch of road. There are houses on both sides of various sorts. Small, big(ish), some in good…

Seems like time flies when you are having fun. It’s been about three weeks since I wrote something so here I am tonight. Let’s start with exactly that. Jack and I are in Spokane, Washington. We’re on are way to Copalis Beach, Washington. My Aunt Ina turns 80 this year and there is a big…

Getting Started Again
With the hiatus from Jack’s injury over we are getting started walking regularly again. And it’s hard to get motivated. It’s pretty hot (but not as hot as home has been this summer so not complaining). Just that sluggishness that occurs when you slow down on a habit. We did walk a little over a…

More Scavenger Hunt Progress
We went to Rangeline Nature Preserve. Hiked the “novice” trail then realized the park was for mountain bikers. Lots of ups and downs and curves. But doable for a hike. There was no one else there so pretty safe from getting run over. We also got lost a little. I used AllTrails app to find…

Downtime activities
My friend, Dawn, sent us an AI generated scavenger hunt. It’s designed for easy activity (walking distances and short) and around the area, to see what is here. Some pictures from today:

Some Unexpected Downtime
So Jack hurt his right front leg. A sprain. He went running. I thought he was with me but I fell asleep and he grabbed his opportunity. I noticed him limping on his right front leg a little while after he got back. He wouldn’t let me touch it and it was clearly swollen. Concerned…

Hey Everybody
I hadn’t realized just how long it has been since I posted. So here’s an update. Jack is still stinky. Hopefully, I will resolve this today or tomorrow. He gets another bath and a new collar. I am currently at Alum Creek State Park in Ohio. I move tomorrow, to Buck Creek. I thought I…

Skunks are stinky
Jack likes to chase the critters. But last night he faced some comeuppance. He went after a skunk and the skunk turned on Jack, protecting himself (or herself) with his secret weapon. Yes, stinky skunk spray. Jack hightailed it out of the brush but it was too late. The skunk got him. It would not…
