  • A three state kinda day

    Yesterday was mostly a driving kind of day. We started off slow by doing our first meeting without driving – which in the end probably wasn’t that best idea. We began the day in Colorado, drove through Nebraska and most of Iowa. Of interest was all the windmills we passed. At one rest stop we…

  • A side trip to visit Wild Sage Cohousing

    One of the side benefits of being involved in a cohousing community is that you get an opportunity to meet awesome people from all over the place. Wild Sage Cohousing in Boulder Colorado is the home of Bryan from Cadis Collaborative, our cohousing architect and Karin from CohoUS. It was pretty cool to meet them…

  • Well rested in Wyoming

    A pretty uneventful day. We started off running some errands in Salt Lake City – leaving the hotel at 11am after a great night’s sleep. We were both exhausted. It was a good decision. Yesterday we experienced some droplets of rain – our first “weather” of the trip. It is odd having to think of…

We woke up relatively early but didn’t get on the road until mid-morning. In part this was related to a…

We didn’t notice anyone stopping by, but apparently someone did stop by for long enough to add the “sale pending” to the top of the sign. We had hoped to be staying a…

  • Going East once again

  • Sierra Vista Open Space Preserve

    #loveyourparks6feetapart – Sierra Vista was one of the first places I hiked after moving to California. I’d been there a few other times but not recently. Since it is still open for hiking during Covid stay-at-home orders, I decided to head up there and go for a hike.

  • Calero County Park

    Next in my Santa Clara County Parks series is Calero County Park. I’m a little slow on sharing my photos from my hike in Calero County Park, in the Santa Cruz mountains. I hiked at the park on weekday and then on another weekday Scott and I mountain biked. This was one of the parks…
