horseshoes & hand grenades
Funny thing: I’ve been to two beer festivals in two months and at both of them I’ve seen bluegrass bands that made me, and I mean made me tap my feet. Last month it was The Material Guys at the Dilly-Dally, hosted by Karben4. This month, it was Horseshoes & Hand Grenades at the Great… Read.

camper von roo frek
Although we spent four nights in hotels during our vacation in California, we slept the other five nights in a camper van – and when I say “camper van,” I’m being as generous as possible. It was actually a minivan that some guys in a garage had converted by replacing the middle row of seats… Read.

California Day 8
Had to hit the road as early as possible this morning and drive, drive, drive to get to Chico in time for Oktoberfest at the Sierra Nevada Brewing Company. Quite a lot of our drive took us through the area around Shasta Lake, gorgeous to look at but it’s part of a national park, right?… Read.

We were parked at a campsite under an oak tree, y’see, and it was autumn, so every time the wind came up even just a little bit, the roof of the camper was… Read.
