by Mr. Bang There are a lot of things to be done on a travel day. I clean my room and get everything off the floor. The reason it's important for things to be off the floor is because the slides come in. I latch the cabinets so that the slides won't crush them if … Continue reading Travel Days

A Week on the Road – Saturday
We don't always get to sleep in on Saturdays, but today we did. And it was lovely!

We had an exceptionally early start today - we got up around 4am to do some star gazing and see the Milky Way arching over our RV. It was beautiful! And cold. And I was half-asleep. So we went back to bed. After finishing our sleep, we woke up at a regular time (7:30-ish) … Continue reading A Week On the Road – Tuesday
