Never Say Die!
Today we saved the Goondocks! We found a map in my dads attic, and it lead us on a wild and crazy adventure into an underground fortress filled with booty traps, “you mean booby traps” “thats what i said booby traps, God these guys,” Data. We found one eyed Willy’s ship filled with “riches” and [...]
Mystery Man
Who would have thought, in a no-name little town in Idaho, we would find the most adorable breakfast spot ever! Super cute, delicious tea, scrumptious food, and a delightful staff. We met a nice man who noticed our New York plates and inquired about the likes of buffalo, where he is thinking of relocating to [...]
Hasta Luego, Yellowstone
Today we said farewell to Yellowstone. We drove all the way from the north entrance and exited out the south, re-visited some of the pools and geysers, and saw Old Faithful erupt once again. We’ll be back though. We both really want to see the thermal areas in the summer, when steam isn’t blocking the [...]
The Yellowstone Caldera
“For the benefit and enjoyment of the people” In the original road trip blueprints, Yellowstone was not included. The first week in November means the closing of most of the roads in Yellowstone due to snow. Then it sleeps till late spring. I figured we would end up arriving too late, so I didn’t want [...]
Buffalo Bill’s Rocky Mountain City

Then it turned into this We arrived in Cody, Wy just outside of the road into Yellowstone, after 1pm due to the slow driving in the snowy mountains. We decided to just do some [...]
Westward to Elk Penis
Just like the early settlers and frontiers men going west along the Oregon trail we passed by and marveled at Chimney rock. In western Nebraska among the endless grasslands and farm land are these sandstone/volcanic ash cliffs that jut up from no where. They just don’t belong here. It’s seems like a really weird location [...]
Shelton Dairy
Today we woke up in our 2 bedroom 1 bath apartment (aka, the Shelton’s basement) and enjoyed a slow, relaxing, luxurious morning. I stayed in bed until about 10am!!! Soooo nice. When the Shelton’s got home from church, Ricky had already made himself quite comfortable in the recliner in front of the TV and was [...]
Ass Cheeks, Border Patrol, and Very Large Things
4000+ ft in Elevation 6+ weeks in We hiked out of our backcountry camp site, packed out what we packed in. This place is beautiful. My ass cheeks are killing me. Walking up and down the dunes has given my glutes a beating. Let me just say on a side note that its really hard [...]
“Where At Least I Know I Free”
Texas is obsessed with Dr. Pepper. Just like their flags flying high, they are not ashamed to proclaim their love for this homemade soft drink. In Dublin, TX a Dr Pepper bottling plant still makes the original formula. I’m not from Texas but I do love DP, so we decided to make a pit stop [...]
God Bless America
Just when I thought the cornfields could not possibly get anymore numerous, we entered the state of Iowa… 95% farmland!!! Mainly corn and soy. Driving down the road without another car in sight and rows of cornfields stretched out for miles on either side really brings out my deep American Pride.. Staring out the window [...]
