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

Now it's YOUR turn...

Watch. Listen. Learn. And you too can make an awe-inspiring old-growth sand forest like this one:


Like I suggested in the prior post, it's probably best to just follow directions. :)

Dear Robin and Phoebe,
I took notes to be sure of the directions; especially involving the finesse with which the tree top needs to be accomplished :) Wonderful photos/video. Best morning shows I've ever seen. Keep them blogs comin'!

Watch out, Goldsworthy! Here comes Einzig-Roth!

Very cool, Phoebe! And great documentation, Robin!

Eastbound Mama said...

Quite elaborate, and impressive. An Einzig-Roth original!

I love the videos. Phoebe--why were you throwing nature's loyalty? And what made that nature's loyalty? Enquiring minds want to know.

I wasn't THROWING Nature's loyalty, I was PROVING Nature's loyalty! So ha! to you, Mama!

Now wait just a minute, my little pumpkin. In the video, you threw a big stick--I assumed that was how you proved nature's loyalty. How was THROWING a stick PROVING nature's loyalty?

42pennies said...

BECAUSE, my giant cheesecake, we all throw nature, even though we step on it, giant cheesecake. Anyway, nature doesn't have to be "loyal", it just has to be proved as loyal. It just IS loyal, it doesn't HAVE to be, my giant cheescake.

Phoebe

Eastbound Mama said...

Giant cheesecake? GIANT CHEESECAKE? Harumph! However, my question remains--how do you prove that nature is loyal, my little pumpkin dumpling?

42pennies said...

Well, then I'll call you Giant Beans, if you don't like cheesecake. How is that for a name?

And the answer to how do you prove that nature is loyal?

It's a secret.

OK--you win. I laughed so hard I cried. My tears filled the house. I floated to the ceiling (it was salt water, so it lifted me without my having to worry about it) and banged my head. I now have a huge bump and am trying to figure out how to get myself down. Amazingly, I was able to use the computer without being electrocuted. Any suggestions, my pumpkin?

Love,

The Giant Bean
