Adventures With Chest Pain, Part One
It’s been over a month since I’ve been in the hospital. I didn’t write about it before, because I was still soo irritated and teed off about the whole thing that I probably would have been ranting and on my soap box. It’s been long enough now that I can actually look back at the … Read more
Where I’ve Been: Further Down US 95
It’s amazing the difference a few hours and a couple of hundred miles can make. Earlier I showed you the pics along US 95 in Idaho. Here we are in Nevada (and maybe a couple in Oregon), and the scenery is on a completely different level. Idaho: lush, sunny, green. Nevada: stark, scrubby, brown, mountainous, … Read more
Where I’ve Been: Lower Salmon River, Idaho
This snake really blended into its surroundings, and only because it moved did I notice it and quickly lurch sideways so I could avoid stepping on it. I instinctively got away from it because I didn’t know if it was a rattlesnake or what. But on inspecting it from a respectable distance, didn’t find any … Read more
Where I’ve Been: Early Castle Valley, UT
In Utah and Colorado, the I-70 corridor has some spectacular scenery. I was driving through there a few weeks or so ago, and was running out of hours, so I stopped at a viewpoint at Early Castle Valley, UT. Oh. My. Goodness. It was absolutely incredible. I took several hundred photos. No joke. I won’t … Read more
Home Time: Beach Adventure–Updated With Pics!
Being a truck driver means that I’m usually on the truck at least 26 days a month. But, when I do get home time, my family and I like to try to spend it in good quality family time. Last time I was home, we drove out to the coast and checked out few different … Read more
The Real Problem with Abercrombie & Fitch---How Jeffries' Message Hurts Us ALL
Reblogged from Kristen Lamb's Blog: I wasn’t going to blog at all this week. Have been taking a break and refueling. But when I came in from being away for a week, one of the first articles I saw was regarding Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Michael Jeffries’ “marketing campaign” for the preppy clothing line (quoted … Read more
Where I’ve Been: Wyoming Has The Most Interesting Rest Areas
Wyoming is a state I’ve driven through many, many times. I-80 is a major thoroughfare for truck drivers. That freeway’s corridor is barren countryside in the summer–dull and brown, though very mountainous, and pretty in its own brownish sort of way. But in the spring, when there is still a bit of snow on the … Read more
Where I’ve Been: Utah and the Moab Area (and Parts Further South), Part 3 of 3
This part is going to be all about my little mini-adventure at Wilson Arch. Wilson Arch is located on US 191, south of Moab. Just about in between Moab and Monticello, UT. It is what the name sounds like–a giant freaking rock arch. From a distance, the opening looks like an eye. My husband and … Read more
Where I’ve Been: Utah and the Moab Area (and Parts Further South), Part 2 of 3
The rest area south of Moab on US 191 is breathtakingly beautiful, with all sorts of interesting rock formations, plus the green grass and trees. The leaves on the trees aren’t really out yet, so you don’t get the full effect of just how green it gets once spring has entirely sprung. Then it is … Read more
Where I’ve Been: Utah and the Moab Area (and Parts Further South), Part 1 of 3
I love driving out US 6, I-70, and US 191 in Utah. There is some absolutely INCREDIBLE scenery out there. The cliffs and rocks are so red, and the foliage grows so green from the Colorado River. It creates a wonderful contrast and makes the drive, combined with blue skies and fluffy white clouds, a … Read more
