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 [...] 
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 [...] 
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. [...] Day 8 8/5/2010 NEWS FLASH: Dave slept until 9am. Never in the history of the camping world has that happened before. I was up and sort of wandering the empty campsite wondering what to do. I haven’t a CLUE how to make coffee in our camping coffee pot. I get where the water and [...] Day Five 8/2/2010 No Signature Toast this morning. Charlie slept later than everyone. Another FIRST for 2010. Dave made bacon. Not bacon and eggs. Just bacon. I had granola and this new brand of greek yogurt I got at Cub Foods. It was so disgusting looking that I could barely eat it. It looked [...] Dear Bennett, While you ridicule my blogging efforts all 11 other months, you are — as you said, yourself — “seriously for some reason fascinated by and want to hear more” and are impatient for the next post, saying, “and the fact that I have been reading for 4 days now and you are [...] |
