While Amanda slept and Evan worked, Tommy and I went for a drive. We actually had a destination in mind on this drive. We were trying to find a sawmill that had beetle-killed pine. Tommy is going to build us a TV stand for NC. We found the mill and were lucky enough to find …

The Enduro Trip, Day 4
Amanda, Tommy, Bubba, Moose and I (Evan had to work) went up to one of my favorite places on earth—the Snowy Range. It is absolutely gorgeous there. One of my goals in going to the Snowies during the summer is to find wildflowers. They seems to be blooming later this year because of the cold …
The Enduro Trip, Day 3
After a good night’s sleep we got up and started getting ready to get on the road again. Tommy took Bubba out and as he was walking back he saw that we had a flat tire. Unfortunately, it was about 6:30 a.m. local time. The clerk at the hotel told Tommy that his best friend’s …

We took a drive on the Parkway this morning looking for flowers. Every time we’d see some really good ones they were at a place that we could not pull over. Here’s one that I’ve never seen before. It looks like it has tiny white polka dots on it. On our way back down to …
Butterflies are Beautiful!
But did you know that they eat poop? We took a ride to the Fish Hatchery with Anne and Cleg yesterday. On our drive over we pulled into a trail parking lot because we saw lots of butterflies flying around. We jumped out and found several groups on the ground. As we got close to …
