BOO! Happy Halloween! I am in the midst of window washing. After a particularly (exhaustive? efficient? accomplished?) (i can’t think of the word . thank you menopause.) Saturday and Sunday of window washing last weekend, I took a break. I figured I should work on weekdays. And, to be honest, I’m mostly waiting for my [...] 
Friday, 8/5/11 [non-journal addition: The time to which I've milked this trip is shameful. This is the end. Final. But don't get excited. There is no Thelma & Louise ending.] It rained again during the night. Probably just to keep up our streak of wet muddiness going. While I tried to finish off the [...] 
The title should say it all. But if, for some reason, it doesn’t, Bennett is my brother. And I want him to leave me alone. I’m hot. I’ve had about 50 hot flashes today. I’m keeping the black rage at bay by the skin of my teeth. And I’m on my second beer. I call [...] 
Thursday, 8/4/2011 Eggs and toast for breakfast. Then sandwich making and Jeep-packing and off to Imogene Pass. There was lots of traffic this year, as expected. In 2009, we were never quite sure if we were on the right road to the pass, since we only ever saw about four groups throughout the whole day. [...] 
Wednesday 8/3/11 OH WHAT A NIGHT! (who can read that without thinking …Late December back in 63? Not me.) Peace! Quiet! Solitude! This. THIS is what camping is supposed to be! A few coyotes in the night, a couple of distant cow moos and that’s it. No dogs. No generators. No babies! Dave planned [...] 
Tuesday 8/2/2011 6am and all is well! The Jaguar family packed up and moved out sometime in the wee hours of the morning. Odd that we didn’t hear them. We heard every scream and conversation the night before. They pulled in to a reserved site late in the evening, in a brand new Jaguar [...] 
Monday 8/1/2011 Another good night of sleep, and up early. I suppose when you are asleep by 9pm, it becomes difficult to sleep much past 6am… We found out from the Camp Host that a mountain lion is a frequent visitor to site #15 (ours) at Cascade Campground. He apparently likes to poop right about [...] 
Sunday 7/31 6 am and I am awake. That is just so odd. The idea was to say we were leaving at 8 am and to plan on actually leaving at 8:30 am. This is more like it. I can actually function within these reasonable parameters. The Menke’s beat the Koo’s at camp take-down by [...] 
Friday, 7/31/2011 There is something about waking up in North Sterling State Park Campground that reminds me of a parking lot. A nice parking lot. But still, a general parking lot feel. And it is early! Jan the RacKOOn was rustling around the inside of their van, parked about six feet from our heads. She [...] 
It is still 7/29/11 and we are still barely out of the driveway. As I mentioned, the plan was to leave at 5 am and caravan with the Koo’s. But since we left almost an hour late, and since they live almost an hour south of us, they had a healthy head start on us. [...] |
