Icy Roads Today 01.08.10

It’s pretty obvious by looking at the road closure map, that we never get enough ice or snow to really make preparing for any really worth it.  The way it usually works is if they call for anything, we get nothing.  It’s really not that much different for what we got yesterday evening.  We only [...]

Explosions Last Night 12.30.09

Last night we heard and felt some explosions, but had no idea what it was.  We wasn’t sure if it was an accident or what, but from the way it felt, we imagined it being something less than a mile away.  My dad guessed that it was dynamite somewhere, but we couldn’t think of anyplace [...]

Dalton’s Liberty Tree 10.11.09

Every city and small town in America probably has things hidden inside it’s boundaries that are unknown to most, even it’s own citizens.  In this case, it’s the Liberty Tree that Dalton was given the honor of receiving that I just learned about.

Rode To Cloudland Canyon 09.27.09

Today we went for a bike ride that took us over to Cloudland Canyon State Park.  I’ve been wanting to check it out but just haven’t made it over there yet.  Unfortunately when we left the house at the start of the ride, I didn’t know we were going to stop there or else I [...]
