After 30 Years, You Can’t Go Back
May 21st, 2024 During the summer of 1992, I worked as a Database Administrator (DBA) for a company in Downer’s Grove, Illinois called Infotronx. The spring and early summer were a little strange as the company seemed to be having some difficulties. The project I worked on was relatively safe as it was half ownedContinue reading “After 30 Years, You Can’t Go Back”
Buckboard Crossing
May 18th, 2024 After loitering at Laramie and Rock Springs, Wyoming, I pulled into Buckboard Crossing Campground on the Flaming Gorge Reservoir in mid-May.

Wind Cave
Tuesday, May 7th, 2024 After leaving Custer State Park, I moved about an hour south to Wind Cave National Park. It is mostly known for its miles of caves.

The Plan for 2024
February 29, 2024 I have a rough plan for my travels this spring and summer. I will leave the Minneapolis area on April 13th and head west to South Dakota first. There I will idle around the badlands and the Black Hills, waiting for night time temperatures to increase enough to avoid freezing my trailerContinue reading “The Plan for 2024”
No Show
January 9th, 2024 My partner failed to show for our first of the year Nordic ski trip. Her name is Snow and it appears she dumped me. I think she ran off with another guy to New England. So, what do you do when there is not enough snow on the ground to ski andContinue reading “No Show”
