View Today’s Photos Today was one of the best days yet. Except for a brief gust every now and then, there was almost no wind. And, perhaps because of that and perhaps only psychologically, the condition of the roads seemed better than average also. Between setting up the reservation at Grant Village Campground in Yellowstone, […]

View Today’s Photos My plan was to leave by 9am, but of course, I didn’t make it out until just after 10am. Oh well. I don’t like rushing and there wasn’t a real need to get out at the time. I’m just glad it wasn’t any later than that. As soon as I stepped foot […]

I stayed in the area today, just in case there was any last minute help I could offer my new client (also to pick up my check!). In the morning I finished up some last minute tweaks to his web site and also did some work for my martial arts dojo in Costa Mesa, CA. […]

Started out the day with the plan that I would be helping out a neighbor of my host family with his web site for a few hours (9am to noon). I was on the phone with tech support changing his hosting plan (to one which would support a WordPress web site) which took more than […]

Click on “Videos” above if you would like to view it. Found out some birds roosting in the rafters above my bike did some target practice and […]

Went into town (Chadron, 30 miles away : The City of Chadron | Wikipedia) with my host to have the local Honda dealer work on his lawn mower. They had a nice Goldwing there, but no ST1300s 🙁 . Then we went to Walmart to pick up some supplies and to Taco Johns for a […]

The Metcalf Wildlife Management Area : Nebraska Birding Trails | Summit Post View Today’s Photos Hiked Metcalf. Covered about 5 to 7 miles in about 4 hours. We went “off trail” and hit some (relatively) rough terrain. Nothing too serious (after all we made it back), but it was more challenging than staying on the […]
