Ya got the whole forest to camp in, and they park right next to us! Gayla made a pot of fresh coffee, and that was enough to get me moving. We packed up slowly and were on the road …

We both slept like rocks. I woke up around 6:30 AM to the comforting smell of fresh coffee brewing. While sipping my cup, I did a little research on a few things for Clifford—always more to learn …

We both woke up feeling refreshed and ready for the day. We were up semi-early and started the morning with hot coffee. Gayla had a few online presentations lined up, and I dove back into …

Their noses were working overtime with all the new scents in the air. After we settled back in, Gayla prepped for her meetings coming up tomorrow while I spent some time digging into research on old Ford diesels. Just a …

Looks like I lost a day somewhere in the midst of the rendezvous.) Last night around 9 PM, while walking the dogs, the temperature dropped quickly down to 53.4°F. It didn’t get too chilly though—we slept with the windows open and the cool breeze made for a great …

Along the way, we stopped to visit Horse Creek and the Green River Rendezvous site just outside of town. The area is steeped in history, and it felt fitting to stop and soak it in for a bit.
