Two wasp stings within two weeks caused Jeff’s oversized allergic reaction. Since we’re often hiking and in zero cell service zones, he’s now a member of Team Epi-Pen, just to be safe. The medications cocktail he’s on at the moment to bring down the swelling, fight any infection, and manage the itching is really something.…

We finally did it. Since the weather suddenly became cool again, we hiked the Dublin Trail up to the very rocky and exposed roof of Mount Monadnock (3,165 ft). Surprisingly Monadnock is the most or second most hiked mountain in the world, depending on who you talk to. Its name is also a physical descriptor,…

Set your brain in reverse for a moment, back to early May… You can imagine our raised eyebrows when we saw sign after sign for The Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania. Oh, sweetie. After a very good breakfast at the only and somewhat dubious-looking restaurant in Tioga, Pennsylvania, we drove over to see this natural phenomenon.…

Hi, I’m Jamie, he’s Jeff, and we’re traveling full time in a small teardrop trailer we call The HMS Beangle. Ok, it hasn’t been that long since my last post, but it’s definitely been a minute. The last few weeks have involved much reading, much relaxing, and some very wonderful days spent camping with Bob…

When I say the temperature dropped the last night we stayed near Cape Canaveral, I mean it dropped. The temps slid downward all day Sunday and the winds climbed steadily upwards. Overnight, wind gusted up to 50mph and the actual temperature fell to 20°F on Monday morning. Our camp hosts were so concerned about us…

First things, first. The truck is repaired. We picked it up Monday late afternoon, packed everything back inside it, and drove out of the campground with happy hearts first thing Tuesday morning. We didn’t quite make it across the Georgia border, but we’re close. Georgia is a rather long state. The title is a line…

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate it. We spent the lead up to the Winter Solstice re-watching the Harry Potter series, like we do every year, like we did every year when Ian lived at home, and like the three of us did separately after he moved away. I still enjoy the movies and the…

Oh, Phil Connors, it’s like you’re right here with us. It isn’t Groundhog’s Day, but it sure feels like it. Today we were mere minutes from arriving at the repair shop to pick up the truck when they realized there is a problem, a good-sized problem, with the front end. They can’t get the front…

We spoke with the repair shop on Monday and drove up there today. The truck’s one-piece ‘cage’ was damaged along the driver’s side bottom, so they’re going to shave a portion of the entire driver’s side off (an inch, two, three? I have no idea) and weld a new edge back on. Apparently that is…

The truck was taken to a repair shop late Tuesday (35 miles away, because insurance). We’re hoping the estimate will be completed by the end of Monday. Once that is in, we’ll learn if the truck will be fixed or if insurance will deem it a total loss. If a total loss, we will need…
