Organizing We have spent the last two days continuing to solve our organizational needs. We are getting the last things packed around the house, and we have looked carefully at everything we had brought with us – evaluating it for usefulness and weight. As an example, when Chelsea took her tumble we didn’t have any …

It’s amazing being home for a short bit after living in such another world for the last 10 days. We have been working 18 hour days getting caught up on blogs, uploading our photos and captioning them and getting them on the website, working on our consulting projects, doing laundry, re-thinking our clothing and equipment, …

We awakened to stifling heat and it didn’t take a genius to figure out that we wouldn’t be riding today. We staggered out of the tent and sat on our picnic bench, watching the only movement in sight, which happened to be a troop of Boy Scouts from Milwaukee WI, on a two week outing …

A chance to work on our projects all afternoon in a quiet air-conditioned room, with access to a second computer. A real bed to sleep …

Rain awakened us at 5 a.m. and that must have been a subconscious signal – we slept right through the alarm. By the time we woke up, it was clearly threatening more rain. Knowing it takes about 2 hours to get out, and that we would be riding in awful heat, and possible thunderstorms, we …

Marathon Key FL

It’s 87 degrees in the tent, and I need a towel just to wipe off the sweat – and it’s 8:30 at night -bedtime. We can’t sit outside because the mosquitoes are out. It’s really hot, the daylight will be gone in a few minutes and we still have to pack the trailers, brush our …
