K’den. It was now about 9:54 a.m. (I think I messed up the time on my previous posts… I forgot that we’re now in Mountain Time.) Here we were just East of St Regis, Montana. Still on the wrong side of the freeway, that was really the right side because we were told to drive there. Right?
Oh my gosh, the photos in this post can’t show how excited I was when we took them. I felt like the people on the Starship Enterprise, going where no man I had never gone before. My dad’s wanderlust blood in my veins was pounding! I was so jazzed that I could hardly sit still… and I was driving! Read the rest of this entry »
Back in October 2008, Nolemana and I made a trip up to Hood River for apples. I wrote about it here.
Back then I couldn’t (or didn’t know how to) upload videos, but now Wordpress makes it easy.
I love my antique apple peeler! It has eight gears and works better than any modern peeler that I’ve tried. Tomorrow we get back on the road trip, but in the meantime, enjoy this short video. You can go back to the original post if you wanna see more photos of it and the horses who enjoyed the peels.
I’m so glad I was in my office when this hummingbird decided to take a bath! Equally glad that I caught it on video!
In looking back over my previous posts on this road trip, I realize that while I’ve shown a lot of photos and landmarks etc., I haven’t really talked much about my feelings about this advencha. I would like to change that. Read the rest of this entry »
Last time, I showed you the sight we would’ve been able to see from the hill above Lewiston, Idaho, if it hadn’t been dark. In gathering maps and info for this post, I discovered something else, that had I known about it, would’ve guaranteed that we’d gotten on the road much earlier so that we could’ve seen it.
What could that be, you ask? I’m gonna show you! Read the rest of this entry »
I had a couple of people say they really liked the maps I’ve been providing, so I thought I’d show where we’ve been so far. We’ve come so many miles that I can’t make it closer though. On this map, it doesn’t look very far!
We’d passed the main part of the downgrade though we were still going downhill. We had no idea what was up ahead of us, and we were in for a wonderful surprise. Read the rest of this entry »
I stay going to one writing workshop till Saturday night, and will update da blog when I get back.
Looking forward to da workshop! But Part 4 coming soon!
After leaving Dayton, we were out on the open highway again. All of us (Nolemana, Kukui, Musubi, and I) were thoroughly enjoying the trip. It was a real advencha, seeing parts of the country we’d never seen before; it was almost too much to take in. This was fifteen minutes north of Dayton.
In the last post, Nolemana, Kukui, Musubi and I were driving along Columbia River Highway. To the side of us was Lake Wallula, which was formed when McNary Dam was built on the mighty Columbia River.
K’den. On October 3, 2009, Nolemana and I left home for one of the most amazing and fabulous journeys of my life. It was a trip that yielded unbelievable joy, incredible reconnections with my ‘ohana, and sights that took my breath away. We spent seven days away from home and put many, many miles on my van. Ride shotgun with Nolemana and I and enjoy the ride! Read the rest of this entry »
Starting tomorrow, I’m gonna begin posting photos of our October road trip. This time it won’t be a mystery!
K’den. Onward and upward. We were pretty high up above the river by now and the air was cold. But the views were wonderful.
Nolemana and I had an appraisal to do in daboonies of Washougal, Washington yesterday. I always enjoy our boonies drives, and this one was no exception. Read the rest of this entry »
I got this wonderful story from my friend Linda Smith, who has read it to us at The Gathering every year about this time. I added the graphics for this post. Read the rest of this entry »
Don’t know what Handel and frozen water have in common? Well, I’m gonna tell you. Read the rest of this entry »
