Taking a rest day

​Wednesday, July 29 and we went on a short 3 1/2 mile walk around Beaver  Pond and Lake Saint Mary. I’m no longer calling them hikes as. We’re trying to stay around a couple miles and lots of rests so we can enjoy being outdoors without getting too tired. 


We rode our bikes to the trail head and saw original Ranger station/house built in 1913. 

Walking the trail was like walking through a bouquet of flowers so many different kinds. We did have our flower guide, but it was much easier just to say the red ones, the yellow ones, the purple ones, the white ones.😁



To make sure John got plenty of rest we stopped along the way, each time playing one round of backgammon.  


A quiet lazy afternoon I made some peanut butter cookies and spaghetti for dinner😋

Tomorrow, an official tour of glacier Park from West to East👏🏻

Does it really matter

 Really, I am not going to change it or try and fix it, that would require sending another link and confusing everyone especially me!  So the name of the Blog was suppose to be “Heads Carolina, tails California and then you have a title for each post.  Well I wondered where the “one mile at a time aka you never know when you’ll breakdown”came from.  Apparently I opened up an existing blog and just added to it,  well, that title could be any of our trips so it is staying!  Now I am really going to bed, we plan on leaving around 8 am tomorrow Monday March 9.  I downloaded the APP so I hope that helps, I see I am having difficulty with picture placement…by the end of August I should have it down! We did it, we left at 8:30, no wind, a little rain on the 8 and smooth sailing into Yuma for our $3.49 gas (high for AZ) Buddy is well taken care of by neighbor Bill and the various other dogs than run in our hood.   Our entertainment included our book “The ...

Did someone say Friday the 13th?

​where to start…  Gas buddy directed us to a gas station in Abilene, Texas that was $3.15 a gallon just off the freeway and there was a Walmart perfect! We need yogurt creamer, and M&Ms💕 it all seemed perfect, especially when we saw the Brahms ice cream store over the hood of this guy‘s truck,(for those of you not familiar with Brahms ice cream, It is the best but it’s only in Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas and may be a handful of othet state states.) then we noticed the sign that they were out of unleaded gas🥲 we went in anyways and got our three items in a store that we don’t think anyone looked happy glad to be out and over to Brahms John got a sundae I didn’t feel like ice cream I got a fry. It was OK. GasBuddy leads us to another gas station for $3.49 it was supposed to be $3.19 and everywhere else in Abilene is 3.19. we’re in a motorhome at 7 miles a gallon a few blocks we find the $3.15  gas, perfect! Back on the road on the 20 east and a new book we finished the widow a...
