Why do we camp, emphasis on DO as in why DO we camp? I thought I knew the answer but like so many things now I’m doubting what I do and don’t know. I think I’m in a funk, I’m “funking”, and while it’s not a terminal condition it is one that is nevertheless somewhat …
Month: July 2012
We are beginning the second leg of our trips now. We finished one tour of camping duty and have gone back out to battle the roads again. Yesterday and the day before give us a chance to get caught up on laundry, pick up a few supplies, and take care of one or two personal …
I saw an old man walking today, poking along the roadside, meandering along his path with the appearance of looking for lost items, perhaps bottles and the such. He was dressed for the excursion with sturdy boots, a small pack, and the ever trusting walking stick. He reminded me of Larry. Larry, my step-father, passed …
I received a call the other day, really it was an email but the purpose was the same. It was a question, asked by the person who took over my previous role at work, “do you want to golf on Sunday?”. Now that sounds like a harmless question, and it may be just that simple, …
Our visit here is almost over. One more night, tonight, and we will be back on the road again. It reminds me of the Willie Nelson song…..”On the Road Again”…., I think it was Willie anyway.

Our time here is almost done. We will be on the road shortly to continue our adventure in the US. That is currently the plan anyway. We’ve been staying at our daughter and son in laws for the last 2 days and nights, to catch up on laundry and of course see the family (read …
We are between camping excursions at the moment, spending time with our daughter at her place while we do laundry and top up groceries etc.. We are also waiting for repairs on our trailer, and I’m a bit nervous about the outcome, of the trailer repairs not the laundry. The trailer maintenance will be a …
I will have to ramble again. My time is likely short and I feel lost, lost in time. I’m alone for the present, I chose to stay back while others went to the beach. My options are: puttering about the site, reading, or posting. At this point in my free time I’ve chosen to blog, …
Oh what a relief it is. The temperature has dropped but it feels to me like some emotions may have heated up. It could just be me however, I have been known (or so I thought) to be a poor judge of so many things emotional and people. Funny thing is I used to consider …
