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. Before we knew it, we were at the Pennsylvania state line with a surprise! It had started … Continue reading “State 29 – Pennsylvania”
3/14/2020 Its spring break and we’re ready to travel to new states. We have 8 states planned for this trip out east and south. No trip would be complete without some drama. We’re dealing with the COVID-19 virus and things are starting to shut down around us. No formal lock down requests were made that … Continue reading “State 28 – West Virginia”
Corvin wanted to participate in the Turkey Trot. We support his running. He has been injured, but he thinks he is on the mend. To keep things interesting, we got him a turkey costume to run in. 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”
Having property is nice, but its also a lot of work. If you have improvements, then they have to be maintained. In our case, we were out there, caulking to keep the rain from rotting everything out. Ahh, Danelle sitting on the job. I’m probably in trouble based on the look she is giving me. … Continue reading “Waterfall – 11/17/2019”
The MR340 race was moved due to flooding several times this year. Ultimately, it was decided that only 3 boats would start due to the extreme cold. I love this community of paddlers. The finish was going to be this night and only 1 boat was left in the race. I thought I could get … Continue reading “St. Charles Unicycle Ride – 11/16/2019”
