A Great Trek must have a beginning and, sadly, an end. Not that there’s anything particularly sad about having regular access to indoor plumbing, of course. I mean the other aspects of a Great Trek- the constant novelty of life on the road, the sense of freedom as one roams from place to place, unfettered […]
Why, hello, my lovelies! I have an important announcement that is both sad and exciting: the end of the Great Trek of 2020 is nigh. [Actually, since I am late posting, as of this date, the Great Trek has in fact concluded. We’ll talk about that later. For now, enjoy this slightly behind the times […]
Hello, lovelies! Well, at the conclusion of my adventures in Yellowstone, I had a decision to make: start backtracking to the East Coast, or press on for another 800 miles to the West Coast. Upon consideration, I realized this was a ridiculous thing to be debating with myself. I’ve never seen the Pacific Ocean. I’m […]
Hello, my lovelies! I have emerged! Huzzah! I was obliged to endure a fast from the internet, cell service, and civilization in general whilst in Yellowstone National Park. Have I got loads to tell you. Also, I seem to have taken approximately 1,000 pictures; I’ll endeavor to present the best of those and no more. […]
Hello, lovelies! The Great of 2020 continues, and it has arrived in Wyoming! Well, you already knew that, because my last post was from Buffalo, WY. But you didn’t know any details about this leg of the trek. I will now update you. The Devils Tower You know, I’m starting to sense a theme on […]
Hello there, lovelies! Warning: excessively long post ahead. Also, numerous photographs, since those were favorably reviewed in the Badlands Edition. This portion of the Great Trek of 2020 has been a very mixed bag. My way over here started with having to visit BOTH of the Walmartians in Rapid City, SD, because the first one […]
Never been to the Badlands in South Dakota? Go. I made an extended stay there, and I’m delighted I did so, although I wouldn’t want to live there. It is a magnificent piece of country. I mainly adventured in the North Unit of the national park. Buckle yourselves in, lovelies. This is going to be […]
Hello, my lovelies! I’m at a splendific campground in South Dakota. So, as you’d expect, this means the Great Trek of 2020 hit the road and went further west. A twelve hour day of driving further west. Another time zone further west. Oof. Leaving Iowa An observation about the county roads in Iowa: you’re driving […]
Hello there, my lovelies. I’m afraid I’ve been too busy exploring and roasting marshmallows and writing stories for The Constellations to keep you perfectly up to date on the Great Trek of 2020. Rest assured, it continues, and I have been trekking about enthusiastically. Let me catch you up on the last week’s adventures. The […]
Well, my lovelies, that was an interesting drive. Phew. Wisconsin exit drive A brief observation: the county roads in Wisconsin are labelled by letters, not numbers, and they seem to restart the alphabet every time you enter a new county. It would have been helpful to know that before I saw the third County Road […]
Hello, lovelies! I’m all packed and about to leave Wisconsin for parts unknown. The Great Trek of 2020 continues… but, before it does, I’m going to sit in the air conditioning in a coffee shop and remind myself to not 100% devolve on this adventure. I may have gone without refrigeration for a week, but […]
Hello, lovelies. As some of you know, art imitated life in “Antlia.” I am on the road, possibly soon to terrorize a town near you- or, more likely, a wilderness absolutely nowhere near anywhere you’ve ever been. I bet the chipmunks are cowering in fear even now. Why? Well, when all else fails, you set […]
