You don’t often brag about how dirty something you own is, but I’m going to now. We’ve had Danelle’s car since it was new. Its now 7 years old and its never been cleaned. Ok, it has been cleaned, but never detailed. We’ve done the occasional vacuum, but it was never clean like new. I … Continue reading “Clean Car – 12/12/2019”
We decided to get a real Christmas tree this year. Our first ever. We picked up Danelle’s dad and headed out to one of his friend’s farm in Washington, MO. It was extremely cold outside and we did get snow flurries while we looked for a tree. Danelle in her coveralls. Henry was colder than … Continue reading “Christmas Tree – 12/1/2019”
Sometimes you look back at the photos taken and wonder what you were thinking. I’ll let you bet the judge of this one. Sonora does love Coatrack! I put up Christmas lights and may have overdone it. Uncle Hiatt would be proud! Hogan Haake
3/14/2020 After riding in West Virginia, we had to drive back out on the difficult road that we came in on. It was a three and a half hour drive. After the first hour, things started speeding up.

He ran with many members of the Webster Groves High School Cross Country Team. Even Coach Jon Petter … Continue reading “Turkey Trot – 11/28/2019”
2/16/2020 The last state of our 3 day weekend is Louisiana. You can see from the photo, it was raining. Not a great thing when you want to be outside uni-cycling. We took a detour south of New Orleans to visit Fort Jackson. We’ll cover that visit later in another post. After our visit, we … Continue reading “State 27 – Louisiana”

2/15/2020 We started this 3 day weekend with a long drive on 2/14, Valentine’s Day. Lucky for me, Danelle and I don’t celebrate this made up holiday! Instead, Corvin and I headed out. We knew we wouldn’t make it to Florida this night, but we needed to get as far as possible. The goal was … Continue reading “State 25 – Florida”
