What's All This About, Then?
(aka Your Many Questions Indelicately Answered)

(hint #1: scroll down and this won't be as hard to read. You're welcome.)


We go on trips. Road trips. Other trips. But mostly road trips. Sometimes (ideally) long ones. Sometimes not.

Yes, this is the same blog as the one about the Oregon Trail. Yes, it used to have a stagecoach and a dusty feel to it, which went along with the Oregon Trail very nicely. Yes, that was a great trip. That was three years ago. (the blog is still here if you want to read it...it starts here)

So...as we embark on the latest chapter of our roamin' ways, we want to invite you to come along. First, we might get lonely. I mean, we don't really get lonely much, but it's possible. Second, you might miss us. Third, you just might be nosy. And fourth, we are notoriously and and historically bad at sending postcards, circulating photos, keeping up with a scrapbook; as a matter of fact, with documenting our trip in most every way. We figured this might be the 21st century solution. It worked for the last trip, which was (as you know) three years ago (sniff). So we're keeping it going.


We hope you'll pop in, read about where we are, what we're doing, see photos of our adventures, and experience our gypsy hardships (like no room service) vicariously! Most importantly, we hope you'll add your comments and greetings, which we will get when we get to one of our stopping points. Souvenir requests will receive due consideration (Hint #1: Success is highly correlated with tackiness).

For those so inclined (you know who you are), we will also list links to related sites so that you can learn with us as we learn on the road, and maybe visit some of the same sights in the future!

Happy Trails to us all!

Love, Phoebe and Robin

Robin and Phoebe,
Thank you SO much for sharing your visit to Carhenge! I am a bit of a car-o-phile myself so this was an amazing piece of art for me to see. What a wonderful tribute!
And for all you sunset skeptics out there: see? not *every* beautiful sunset is caused by smog!

I just made a really nice post and my explorer crashed before I could hit publish...

So let me recreate

Phoebe and Robin!!!

I am so homesick!!

the one thing I always tell people I miss the most from back home is the sky... you can see for a HUNDRED miles... it is HUGE... in all directions... ablaze with a summer sunset... the sounds of the prairie... the smell of the dirt... its own beauty... linger there... breathe a few long breaths for me...

What a great treat to read all of this...
thank you so much for this wonderful journal!!
