9-20

Good morning

Yesterday a quick run to Bozeman for some repair parts and a nice day sticking to camp. Travel days do catch up to us all. Nice day with the Big Montana skies above us and great company.

Morning graced us with one of Mother Nature’s wonders.

Always great to start the day like this. We did stick around camp to relax and enjoy the weather. So, not much to share. Played Sequence for some evening entertainment and again early off to bed.

More to come and we will see what tomorrow brings.

Good morning

Yesterday, the 4 of us journeyed to Bozeman for a few minor supplies and a brew pub. We were pretty quiet and found out how attached we are to the digital world. Any way, we had a beer, some lunch and Millie convinced us all to go Thrift Store shopping. I even think everybody found something to buy.

Weather, other than the typical Montana wind, has been great. Temps in low to mid 80’s and the humidity is low. Lots of sunshine and even a rain shower, which barely got anything wet.

Chris’s award (according to me) winning chili and cornbread for supper. Then a round of Cribbage before calling it a night.

Not sure what today will bring,  but we will have a good time and enjoy the company in Big Sky Country.

Make your day great and help someone else’s be better, too!

We are back.

9/18      After some time off the grid, no cell, no wifi, and no TV, finally able to upload. As promised I have been updating right along.

Morning view out our back window.

Red Mountain Campground about 10 miles East of Norris, MT. This is our 3^rd time here and the morning views never fail. Stars last night were as plentiful as the flies during the day. Oh well, we do have to coexist at times outside, however in the RV they die.

My Cousin Rob and his wife Chris joined us for a few days of food and fun. Salmon Burgers last night on the grill and some visiting under the stars. Last night temps were delightful after a hot day. A bit breezy this morning and only going to be about 80⁰. Trip into town today to pick up a few minor supplies and see if any breweries are open on a Monday.

See ya ‘round the bend.

 Good morning from Billings.

First leg of our trip got us to Buffalo Gap Forest Service Campground just west of Medora, ND.

Great before sunrise photo out our window. I did not want to go out as it got down to 36 on the thermometer overnight. Off to a leisurely start and on the road before 10 AM.

Cabellas in Billings and a hot day at 90. A 54 degree change and we hardly noticed with the AC in the truck all day. Shopped at Cabellas then out for one of the few times we get "fast food". Even though it was quite warm still around sunset, the humidity was only 19% and with a little breeze was very comfortable. 

Our morning version of "Fox and Friends".

Now the journey continues on, and we don't expect to have internet service, or at least regular internet, for the next week. I will still write the blog, just may not be able to post.

Stay safe, be kind and enjoy life.

 HI all

Thinking I'm going to start a bit early and let you know we will be traveling soon,

but first,

Final close of the cabin and Mother Nature gave me a great "Good By".

Been working the last few days to get the yard and garden put to bed for the winter.

Seems so early with all the great weather coming , making it hard to leave for another great Fall adventure. With the yard mostly done, I started getting the Big White Box ready to travel. Mostly packing and deciding what we need to take with us and what, we haven't used, to leave home.

Decisions, decisions, likely will forget something and will end up with two when we get back.

Make your day great and don't think about Winter yet.

Tom, Millie and Lefty

 Hi all, hope your summer was great, lets have a great fall. No photo this time, but SOON!

Big Adventure will be returning in September, stay tuned.

Projects this summer on our '19 27-5L fifth wheel.
Remove leaking black tank and reinsulate the bath grey tank.
Install a composting toilet.
Add tail lights for visibility when carrying bicycles.
Move the poorly placed converter/charger to garage area. This doubled the amount of power going into the battery bank. Will now have much faster charging when the solar does not keep up with our usage. (Much less generator time = less fuel consumption)
And last, shelving in the front garage area.
Finally out for a shake down trip. So far, so good.
Couple of months this fall will be the real test.

Tom, Millie and Lefty the perimeter alarm.

 Hi Y'all

I have to apologize for no post of our Fall 22 and  Spring 23 trips. I got lazy. Just no other excuse for it. At many get togethers this Summer I have been duly chastised for not doing a post. 

So look forward to Fall of 2023, if you are still willing to follow our travels. No idea where or when we will be going, yet. It will be an adventure like no other. (OK, they all are like no other.)

A quick photo from Spring 23. Somewhere in the Texas Panhandle, near Turkey, TX.

This Summer we have also been forced to do a major repair on the RV and will be adding some modifications. Therefore, I have to get out of my lazy streak. Also some renovations at the Sticks and Bricks and getting the whole exterior painted, except the bricks. Although that may not happen until we have all ready left for the next Big Adventure.

See you in September, unless I get chatty and post something sooner.
