Its always nice to have friends. In this instance, JoJo called and asked if I wanted to paddle part of the flooded Meramec river. I’m always up for that. I packed up and met them at a place I’ve never paddled before in south Saint Louis. Here are a few shots of our paddle. The … Continue reading “Flood Paddle – 6/18/2019”
8/3/2019 We finished Wyoming and started a long drive to North Dakota. This meant going north back to Montana and finishing the long drive across the rest of the state to North Dakota. Getting to the border to get the state sign was a relief. We’re always grateful for states that have their signs easily … Continue reading “State 19 – North Dakota”
8/3/2019 Having just finished Montana the day before, the plan was to drive down south and dip into Wyoming and Yellowstone National Park for a quick ride. When we got up at 5 am, the ground was wet from rain the night before, but looked to be clearing up for a nice day. We got … Continue reading “State 18 – Wyoming”
8/2/2019 Our plan was to unicycle around the University of Montana. We knew that this ride was going to be a bit basic, but we figured we would have ridden about 14 miles earlier in the day in Idaho and not completely be in the mood to ride too much more in a single day. … Continue reading “State 17 – Montana”
8/2/2019 We spent the night in Wallace, Idaho.You may not know this but this is the center of the universe since 2004. Its a really quaint town off I-90 in a mountain valley that just begs you to spend time walking the streets. I wish we had more time to hang out and explore every … Continue reading “State 16 – Idaho”
August 1, 2019 When we planned this trip, Corvin picked out this uni-cycling location all on his own. I had a heavy hand in most of our riding locations, but this one was 100% choice. And its one of our favorite rides of the whole trip so far! We originally flew into Spokane but decided … Continue reading “State 15 – Washington”
I was still on vacation and I told Danelle so. The family planned to go to the St. Louis Blues Stanley Cup parade, but I wasn’t interested. I took too long getting ready and go tied up into playing chauffeur to drive them to the metro stop as the parking lots were full. After dropping … Continue reading “Motorcycle Ride – 6/15/2019”
The last day of our vacation. We woke up early in KC and spent some time before heading home to St. Louis. But not before having fun at the house. Of interest to me, we passed 222,222 miles on the odometer during this trip. And when we pulled into the driveway, we ended with 4,758.6 … Continue reading “Southwest Summer Adventure – 6/14/2019”
Today was probably the most disappointing day of the trip. We drove to Pikes Peak to go up the mountain. We found out when we got there, it was under construction. We were able to drive about 2/3 the way to the top, then had to park and get into vans to be shuttled to … Continue reading “Southwest Summer Adventure – 6/13/2019”
We woke up from a night of camping and enjoyed the sounds of the campground. We didn’t expect ducks, but they were fun to watch. They had lots of stuff laying around that we saw on a morning walk. With the campsite packed up, we headed on to the Great Sand Dunes National Park. We … Continue reading “Southwest Summer Adventure – 6/12/2019”
