Today was the day we planned to bike the North Platte Rail Trail, which starts about 5 miles from our campground, which was actually in Evansville, east of Casper. We were thrilled to discover, though, that there was a way to bike from the campground to the start of the Rail Trail along the CasperContinue reading “A long bike ride in Casper”

The REAL shake-down!
Before we leave Seminoe State Park, here is a picture of one arm of the reservoir – and a shot of the pronghorns. Our next destination was Casper, which I had discovered has a remarkable system of bike trails. We COULD have gone back south to Sinclair and taken major roads to Casper, but LizContinue reading “The REAL shake-down!”
On to a remote reservoir
We both slept incredibly well in Muffy and Al’s driveway, although I woke up several times, considered looking out with a flashlight to see if I could spot some moose, then fell back asleep before I could do anything about it. We had our first breakfast in the RV (see image below), played a bitContinue reading “On to a remote reservoir”
“Glamping” in Tie Siding, Wyoming
Our first day’s drive was relatively short – to visit friends in their cabin in Tie Siding, Wyoming. The town is named for its origins: as the site of the closest suitable trees to Laramie, it was the source of lumber for railroad ties while the Union Pacific Railroad was being built. Our friends, AlContinue reading ““Glamping” in Tie Siding, Wyoming”
Here we go again – with a difference!
So, we’re back on the road – in OUR OWN RV!!! Liz and I figured that, given the pandemic-caused restrictions on travel and the issues we had with our rented vehicle, we might as well just buy an RV and use it to travel between Colorado and Boston for the next while. As you mightContinue reading “Here we go again – with a difference!”
That’s all she wrote/some reflections on RV travel
Our campground in Kearney, Nebraska was the most cheerless of all the places we stayed, so we got up early and hit the road, knowing that we would have to stop in an hour so that I could have my phone appointment with my tax advisor. (Little did I think when I made the appointmentContinue reading “That’s all she wrote/some reflections on RV travel”
Windmills, bad jokes, and infinite stretches of Nebraska
(Spoiler alert: we are safely in Boulder, but I’m a bit behind on the blog.) After another cold night (during which we were smart enough to turn on the heat, which works well), we spent a few hours as tourists in Amana, strolling on a bike trail that connects Amana with Middle Amana and searchingContinue reading “Windmills, bad jokes, and infinite stretches of Nebraska”
Huge Wisconsin hospitality
Our time in Wisconsin Friday night and Saturday was marked by large hospitality in two ways: we had multiple wonderful meals with friends and the Cedar Lake group are, themselves, a very large – that is, tall – family. That’s not surprising given the family’s genetics; both Cindy (Liz’s teammate) and her husband are tallContinue reading “Huge Wisconsin hospitality”
A land of RV’s and horse-drawn buggies
Elkhart, Indiana, just down the road from Middlebury, is the home of the RV/MH Hall of Fame and Museum https://www.rvmhhalloffame.org/. The “MH” stands for Motor Home, for those of you who are uninitiated. No, we did not visit – but there were scads of RV sales and repair places around Middlebury – a far cryContinue reading “A land of RV’s and horse-drawn buggies”
Travels with Izzie
Other possible titles I considered: “An alternate view of Zooming” and “Izzie finds a tunnel” We had a very slow morning at our campsite, sleeping in, drying out soggy sheets and recovering from the previous night’s traumas. We also introduced Izzie to a harness and leash; she wasn’t so happy about the harness, but sheContinue reading “Travels with Izzie”
