My neighbor on the mountain is building a little cabin on his property. I thought you might be interested in seeing the snowy video he made last Christmas…..
2018 – So Far
And here we are again. A cold wind is blowing and the gray overcast skies have settled in above Cleveland Ohio for the winter. I am here for the holidays but don’t have much going on. So, as I wait for Santa to bring me my annual lump of coal, I figured I would type out a nice long,…
Winter Wonderland
Well, it is time to pack it in for the year. It is has become cold and dark most of the time here in central Washington. The trailer I have been staying in doesn’t hold up well against the 20 degree temperatures at night especially since my sleeping bag’s zero degree rating seems to be wishful…
Far From the Human Race
Greetings from my next big adventure. I just closed on 23 acres of mountain property in the mountains of Central Washington. The property is totally off grid at the moment. The only water and power I have is what I bring or make myself. I haven’t fully walked the property yet, but with Verizon service, I am able to get…
Looking for the end of that long white line
Hurricane Florence has come and gone through the Carolinas. And coincidentally, so have I. With the wind literally at my back after days of boxing, sorting and storing my remaining stuff, of which there is still too much, I have officially moved out of Charlotte. No ill will towards the city but after 8 months, I just couldn’t find a…
Summer Breeze Makes Me Feel Fine
I am sitting in Charlotte waiting for a very stubborn Hurricane Florence to roll through North Carolina. Not just sitting but sitting in an empty apartment waiting for her. Charlotte is about 175 miles from the coast. I have been waiting for this b… er fine young lady to get busy. We have been watching the progress for the past…
I’ve Come In From the Wilderness
It’s a quiet rainy Saturday morning and I am on my second cup of free apartment complex coffee. It is a pretty young crowd in my neighborhood with lots of breweries and bars within walking distance. So mornings are pretty quiet around here. 😉 I have a couple of hours of quiet and solitude before I need to quit procrastinating…
I Have Chalked Up Many a Mile
Since the holidays are upon us and I am woefully behind in keeping up with TrippinWithDon.com, I figured that I should let you all know that I have not somehow become a married-with-children suburbanite driving a minivan or possibly worse, in some ditch on the side of the road getting my bones picked clean by giant vultures. “Surely”, you’re thinking,…
Money For Nothing
Best laid plans and all of that. I didn’t have any plan or desire to come to Ibiza, Ibitha, Ibisa, or however its spelled. My timing was off to see my friends on the neighboring island of Mallorca so I had to adjust. Mallorca is expensive Ibiza is off season cheap. So here I sit in an off-strip Ibiza hotel…
I’m in a hurry to get things done
I came to a fork in the road after Poland. Prague and Vienna are pretty close to each other but in different directions. I have not been to either, but going to both would have required a day’s worth of backtracking. I have just about had my fill of Europe’s old cities. Sure they are pretty and all but…
