Sometimes you must need to paddle on the river. Today was one of those days. Jo Jo, Mark, and I went out. We got upstream. After a while,we took a detour on Fishpot Creek. The water was high and we were able to paddle back a ways. We stopped to try and identify a very … Continue reading “3/22/2020 – Meramec Paddle”
We purchased a giraffe unicycle that is 5 feet high. It got the needed repairs and was ready to ride, but we wanted to wait till Corvin was out of his sports seasons to ensure if he got hurt it didn’t interfere. You’re unlikely to see video of him solo mounting this unicycle as its … Continue reading “Corvin on the giraffe unicycle – 3/21/2020”
3/16/2020 We had an early ride planned before a full rest day! We were riding just outside Raleigh, NC on the Neuse River Trail. It looked interesting on the map with a few bridges that would be fun to cross. Parking was interesting, not because there was not enough, but because it took two tries … Continue reading “State 33 – North Carolina”

Eventually, it was time to do our favorite thing, have a big fire. Sonora chopped some wood to … Continue reading “Waterfall – 3/1/2020”
3/16/2020 I’m not sure what to think when the signs tell me, Virginia is for lovers. We started off with hotel breakfast and then drove directly to High Bridge Trail State Park. Here, our goal was to encounter a very large bridge and ride across it. It probably would have been better if we had … Continue reading “State 32 – Virginia”
We don’t seem to do as much in the winter months, but that is ok. We spent a lot of time playing with Brawndo and watching him grow up! Richard tried to ride the unicycle in the office. I think he is the closest of anybody to getting hurt! And Corvin playing in the sand. … Continue reading “February – 2020”
Corvin and I took my nephew, Mark to see Peter and the Wolf at the SLSO. We made an afternoon of it and showed him lots of fun! Once we got inside Powell Hall, we got our seats and focused on the show. It was a short afternoon, but the three of us shared lots … Continue reading “Peter and the Wolf with Mark – 2/23/2020”
As part of our 48 Wheels unicycle trip, we ended up in the fine town of New Orleans. This city is very old and quite interesting. It started off with us trying to find a parking place. I didn’t realize during my planning that this was the weekend before Mardi Gras. There were already large … Continue reading “New Orleans – 2/16/2020”
Fort Jackson is in Louisiana. I’ve seen it on maps when dreaming about the Mississippi river and random paddling journeys I want to take. I’ve talked of a motorcycle trip there over a long weekend just because it looks interesting. The opportunity to visit came when Corvin and I were visiting Louisiana on our 27th … Continue reading “Fort Jackson – 2/16/2020”
