April 14 Jeepers Creepers

A Life In Suitcases
Some of you following the blog may know about the transport of a exhaust pipe in our suitcase from the UK back to the USA and into New Jersey. Well, this suitcase originated in Korea and collected my Step Mums…
Twilight
We came over to Olympic National Park and on the way you pass through Forks which is by all account where Twilight is based. News to me….We’ve camped for free in the rain forrest and it luckily didn’t rain. We’ve…
Its Expensive Being An English Overlander
For those of you at home this will either make you laugh or cry….its about $1.60 to the £1 so something like Ribena at $14.29 + 8% Tax = $15.43 which at about £9.30 would become more expensive than a Heroine…
Unforgiven
Some of you know the problem we had with a recent visit to get tyres fitted. As part of the fitting they had a little accident with Matilda in they lowered half the car onto a axle stand that had…

Amazing Grace

Duck Dynasty
Dash has a new bird…. She’s a real cutie….So she’s called Dash’s bird until she gets a proper name. Maybe that is the proper name. Would you believe she was born in Bolton and then migrated to the USA. I doubt she…
The Wrong Trousers
Managed to find a free camp in Oregon on the side of the columbia river. A nice free camp with OK toilets with hot water. We arrived a bit late and we’d already eaten at Denny’s due to the McDonalds…
Supersize Me1
What is it about McDonalds that keeps me annoyed?They have a Dollar Menu and most items on it are not a Dollar. In some states there is a wide selection of items for a Dollar and in some there are…
One Red Shoe
Actually its four black shoes. Purchased from Costco without a membership. We begged for forgiveness as my (Griffins) membership has run out and I cannot renew it here. I cannot buy a USA membership as i’m not a “citizen”. So…
Close Encounters Of The Third Kind
A trip to the centre of the USA….not so sure. It did have a proper USGS marker. Julie could not resist the pull of Devils Tower. She was even drawing it as per the movie. Not so sure if she’s…
Rushmore
Didn’t pay the $11usd for parking. The attraction is free. The parking is not. Its a category one rip off. The car park is out of place and could have been done much better and no doubt it built by…
