Nine days till the Red Sox home opener in the frozen tundra – errr – Fenway park
Spring is flirting with us but my thought this morning (Sunday) looking out was that things were still pretty frozen. We got above freezing a very little bit today but the ground is frozen very, very hard still 22 days till the Sox home opener – could be a chilly one! ...
Tramping around Spencer Brook, Carlisle MA
EDIT – so much for winter being on its way out – it has started bucketing snow here in the late afternoon. We probably have an 1/8th or 1/4 inch already – whoops! Spring has not yet arrived, but Winter is definitely on its way out In Carlisle, this weekend the temperatures have been in ...
Made it to Carlisle
I pulled into Carlisle today after driving 4,343 miles in 9 days (including one very fun rest day in Solvang CA). Woot! a very fun trip but I am also pretty tired. I listened to 6 full Audio Books from Amazon’s Audible application – which was fantastic – very engaging Old Man’s War – John ...
Stressful traffic
Not much of an update today unfortunately that is super interesting. I headed out early from Peru IL and I have set down for the night in Hamburg, New York after passing through the remainder of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Roads were bad, traffic was bad, drivers were idiots and there were State Troopers ...

Crossing the high (and dry) plains
Today was about making miles. As you can see from the pictures below, things were pretty flat. I went from La Grange OR this morning, through the remainder of Oregon, across Idaho (speed limit 80 mph by the way for cars), across Utah and about 4 miles into Wyoming to Evanston WY. Which means I ...
Further mill action
Better WiFi than I expected in the hotel – I was able to upload a video from each visit to my YouTube channel. Now – time for breakfast and hit the road! ...
Mills of Oregon around Salem
I was able to spend almost 3 hours today at the other two mills on my list – Thomson Mill and Kay Woolen mill I was able to take a private tour at both (mostly because I was the only one there at tour start time). Both sites have absolutely fantastic tours and I took about ...
