We’ve been at Black Rock a few days now and had a chance to settle in. We’ve met some folks, explored a little, and the place is quickly feeling like home. Junior and Devon have really made themselves at home. They have spent hours frolicking on the grass, running through (or away from, in Devon’sContinue reading “#25: A Place to Rest”

#22: Camping with Corona?
You may not have heard, so let me catch you up; there’s a pandemic afoot. The whole world has gone mad for toilet paper and handshaking is becoming an archaic greeting of days past. Basketball and Baseball have been cancelled, and Tom Hanks is in quarantine with Wilson. Schools are closed and workers everywhere areContinue reading “#22: Camping with Corona?”
#21: I’m still alive
This winter has been the winter to which all future winters will be measured against. We have endured the flu, colds, sinus and ear infections, stomach bugs with some serious vomiting, a motorcycle accident, snow, then 70 degree sunshine, then torrential rain and flooding, tornado warnings, then more snow, and a dangerous lack of hikingContinue reading “#21: I’m still alive”
#20: Fantastic Fire
Rain. So much rain. Endless rain. The last few weeks have been filled with virtually non-stop rain and frigid temperatures. Even on the days where there is no rain, it is so cold that nothing dries out before the next bout of rain comes in. I can’t remember how long the rain has been stickingContinue reading “#20: Fantastic Fire”
#16: Reflections on a Rock
Most days are much the same lately. I get up with Junior, we hang out and have breakfast, then head out to work or go on a little walk around the park. Around 11am we come back to the camper for elevensies, a little indoor play, then it’s nap time. After his nap, it’s lunchtime,Continue reading “#16: Reflections on a Rock”
#13: Snow Day
Last night as we were getting into bed I did the mandatory weather app check. “There’s a 30% chance of snow at 7am.” I said excitedly. “Ah, that won’t amount to anything.” Chris said dismissively. Though I knew he was probably right, the optimist in me wanted to believe it so I gave ChrisContinue reading “#13: Snow Day”
#11: It’s a Hard Life
I’ve been working here at Vogel for 2 weeks now and have worked as a camp host for 2 months. I had anxiety about any form of work after being a stay at home Mom for a year and a half now. I had the return-to-work jitters that took a minute to wear off, butContinue reading “#11: It’s a Hard Life”
#10: Things that Go ‘Bump’ in the Mountains
We’ve been at Vogel State Park for 13 days now. Upon our arrival I was immediately aware that the vibe here was totally different than that of Tugaloo but I found it difficult to define. Having spent a few days here exploring and working, I think I have finally put my finger on it: VogelContinue reading “#10: Things that Go ‘Bump’ in the Mountains”
#9: Lazy Days
Monday was another beautiful day here at Vogel. Though the evenings are getting pretty chilly, we are still having some warm a sunny days, yesterday included. We went for a wander around the park in the morning with Devon. Junior has discovered the fun of walking Devon. He happily takes the leash and follows DevonContinue reading “#9: Lazy Days”
#8: Motherhiker
Living in such close quarters as we are certainly forces you outdoors a lot more than when living conventionally. I’m sure there will be times where I will dislike this aspect of our life but this week has not been one of them. My schedule at Vogel has me working 4 days on and 4Continue reading “#8: Motherhiker”
