Happy Birthday Natsuki…:) I ran a few checks over the mechanicals last night and changed the fuel filter. I mentioned earlier that the power is down a bit and I noticed there’s exhaust smoke under load. The camp site last night was so quiet. Not many campers and they were…
Waking around 7am. Breakfast made in the Landy and we are on our way by 9am. The first stop was a car museum, just down the road. It’s nothing flash but a lot of old ’50’s & ’60’s memorabilia. There were a couple of nicely prepared cars. One a…
We didn’t have a great sleep last night, but it’s a great camp site. I have to say, I liked the appearance and feel of Oklahoma City. Pop. 650,000. Brick is strongly featured. As Jen said, the entry into the city from the east was short and easy. The exit…
Thank you to neighbour Fred in last night’s camp site, who loaned us a huge fan. It must’ve been 800×800 square and had four speeds. Fortunately we were close to a power point and had the fan in the Caranex tilted up and with the back door open, got a…
It was a hot humid night. We were up and ready to face the day at 8am…..Well, that’s what my watch said, but I hadn’t wound it back from crossing a time zone yesterday. So it was 7am. Still, the sun was coming up, and we had miles to do. …
It was a most pleasant evening, high up in the mountains. Lovely cool air and the light duvet on for the first time. The morning dawned beautifully sunny and after breakfast and packing up, we were on the road by 10am. With only about 60 miles to go to the…
No chance to dry the Caranex out this morning as we were surrounded by trees and everywhere around was damp from rain the previous day. What I noted though, one of the guy rope pegs had been pulled out of the ground, and lying about a foot away from where…
Yay!!! Today we relax. One of the rare driving-free days this trip. Well, not totally driving free, because rather than walk a mile and back to get some supplies from the camp store, we drove. The reason for needing to go to the shop was our 2L milk had gone…
After a soggy night in the forest, the morning has turned warm and pleasant. A little explanation about my photography dilemma. The camera, a Casio Exilim HS is an amazing piece of electronic wizardry. It has enough technology packed into point and click pocket camera to give it ‘big camera’…
This Alpine and Mountaineering Society run campsite, was a credit to them. The facilities were new and though basic, adequate. A far cry from the previous campsite at Foster where nothing would work and it was falling down around you. After putting some friction modifying fluid in the gearbox and…
