Our 12 year old awning has decided that it is done with life and started pulling apart this week. We began debating on the next step forward – order a new awning or just tape this one together. We had awning repair tape handy, so decided to repair while continuing to debate the pros/cons and […]

From the get-go we have had tire problems. Luckily we were prepared for those with two spares and a great air compressor. However, the day finally arrived where we needed to do more. While pulling in to our current campground in Idaho, I noticed a bald patch on one of our trailer tires. We had
Dad really likes to go mountain biking and when he does he usually manages to convince us to come with him. Occasionally this turns out well and we have fun, but since this trip started the majority of our outings results in disaster. I will tell you about three of those times. The first story

We are in Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada for the next few days and the top item on our activity list was to hike to at least one of the local tea houses. We chose to head to the Plain of Six Glaciers tea house today. It is the less visited one because it is 7.3km

We have been taught a game similar to badminton called badtommy. We named after Mr. Tom, who we met while staying in the Tetons. You use rackets and a shuttle cock to try and get points and the first person to get to eleven points, or two more points than your opponent, whichever is more.
In June, Yellowstone experienced unexpected water levels that caused immense damage to the northern end of the park. This resulted in the two northern entrances to the park being closed and many of the parts and roads in the north being closed to visitors. Initially the entire park was closed to all people, though this

Friday we went on a drive with Ms Kristie’s dad, Mr Bruce. He used to be a tour guide for Yellowstone, so he knew a lot about the park. He mostly talked about the hydrothermal features of the park. These features are the result of a millions of years old volcano that covered pretty much
