We let ourselves sleep in a little this morning, knowing it would be a slower travel day. After a peaceful coffee in the cool mountain air, we slowly got Clifford ready to roll. By 9:19 AM, we were pulling out of camp and heading south down Louis Lake Road. We made a quick stop at …
I didn’t sleep too well last night. Woke up wide-eyed at 2:33 AM with a Brooks & Dunn song looping in my head. Not exactly the kind of wake-up call I was hoping for. Eventually rolled out of bed at 7:15 local time. Gayla and I shared a quiet morning over coffee, chatting about what …
GPS Coordinates: 39.3711° N, 106.1047° W Last evening, Gayla and I decided to take Tucker out for another walk since he was a bit restless. That walk quickly turned into a spontaneous hike up a nearby little mountain—no trail, just instinct and curiosity. It was a steep climb, but once we reached the top, the …
Gayla was up way earlier than I was this morning. I think all that fresh air and the walk around the lake yesterday knocked me out cold—I slept great. Last night we were the only ones in the campground. It felt like our own private retreat. But we had some company roll in early this …
We kicked off the day early—Gayla had a morning video call and woke up to a brisk 46°F inside Clifford, our trusty camper. The sun was out, though, and with us being parked at 9,400 feet elevation, the crisp mountain air felt clean and refreshing. Coordinates: 40.5166° N, 106.8034° W After her first call wrapped …
We woke early today to discover that three other campers had quietly arrived sometime in the night. By 6:30 AM, Gayla and I were already up and moving. The morning started off with a bit of cloud cover, but by 9 AM the sun was out in full force. While Gayla jumped into client work …
Location: Platte River Camp | GPS: 41.3131° N, 105.5910° W (approx) We were up early today—6:00 AM sharp—because Gayla had a podcast recording on the schedule. It was a chilly 46°, but I welcomed the brisk morning air with a cup of hot coffee and a front-row seat to the sunrise. I’ll take this kind …
We both had a great night’s sleep—much needed after the quiet stillness of camp. Gayla was up first, getting Clifford packed up and ready to roll. I followed suit by packing up our Starlink setup. Coffee in hand, we chatted about where the road might take us next and settled on a general direction to …
Camp near Medicine Bow National Forest Coordinates: 41.3704° N, 106.2392° W This morning came slow and soft—just how we wanted it. We slept in knowing there was no agenda, no road to chase, no rush to pack up. It was a day to be—and a good one at that. After letting the dogs out, we …
Last night, we fell asleep watching The Magnificent Seven—the newer version. Something about westerns just fits perfectly with life out here. Gayla said she slept great, and I apparently needed some extra beauty sleep… which I think is working out just fine. With the smell of fresh coffee in the air and a square of …
