Hart Hill; Just Me, the Mousy, and the Cranes
Trip Date: September 13, 2021
This was the only chance I had to come up in September, with all of Haley’s wedding events going on and our trip up the Oregon Coast. Mike always has a busy October Fest music calendar, even in the insane Pandemic and the Delta variant outbreak. So, it was just me and Irene, and the…
Hart Hill, Solo Perseids Meteor Shower
Trip Date: 8/11/2021
This was the second trip we had put on the calendar, some time ago, for a possible trip. The first was my birthday trip, which turned out to be just about a perfect gathering (other than Kevin and Steve getting Covid and all of us having to be tested). Be that as it may, coming…

Death Valley with Haley and Brett
Trip Date: October 23, 2020
I believe this trip was billed as a pleasure visit to Death Valley, a place I have been to many times, and the kids have too. My daughter Haley especially loves it and she wanted to share it with her fiancé Brett for the first time. They invited us to go, and I was all…

Trip Date: October 12, 2020
I was excited about this trip as Bob was coming up for what would be his last trip of the year. I start getting concerned about the winter cold earlier than probably I needed to because I just am not used to it, but also, because everything typically takes us longer to do so we…
