Halverson Lakes Hike

We’re in need of a good hike. I had my wisdom teeth pulled last week and have been off my feet, dragging Ann down with me. This hike turns out to be full of surprises and leaves us feeling tired but not wrecked. It begins at Celebration Park on the Snake River, a park full…

Rack ’em up

We’re spending time with Ann’s parents in Nampa, Idaho. With all the stuff we can’t carry stored here, this is where we reconfigure our rig for the next foray into the world.

Back in Nampa

We’re up north again with Ann’s parents, getting used to shorter days and colder temperatures! The plan is to winterize the camper and take our old Subaru to Jackson Hole at the end of the month.

2010 – a year on the road

Ann and I have lived in our 1999 Lance truckbed camper for the entire year. A few times we wondered what the square footage of this thing is, so I finally looked up the specs. Here’s our floorplan: Assuming we have the standard cabover option (it doesn’t seem to be marked), that gives us a…
