KATY Trail and Route 66

September 2, 2017 by RFT

Our trip bicycling 210 miles across Missouri on the longest Rails to Trails was phenomenal. We started in historic Sedelia in western Missouri then proceeded through historic trails and towns along the Missouri River, close to Lewis & Clark’s famed expedition to the Pacific Ocean. The capitol, Jefferson City, was a fascinating city with a beautiful capitol building adorned with tremendous artwork including huge murals by Thomas Hart Benton chronicling the late 19th and early 20th centuries of hardworking folks who turned the state into a productive center in the heart of our country.

On our return to Oregon we traveled and camped along historic Route 66. Oh the inspiring buildings and scenery that created the "Cars" Disney movies and special section at Disneyland. Amazing how adventurous Dust Bowl folks were to pack up all their belongings and head westward for a better life in California.

Total Eclipse – Madras, Oregon

September 1, 2017 by RFT

Waiting for the eclipse to happen.

We journeyed to Madras, Oregon in order to be right in the middle of the “path of totality” for the solar eclipse of August 21, 2017. The crowds were not as immense at predicted by the media…although there were A LOT of people. Our “reserved” camping spot was in the middle of a farmer’s field … along with 10,000 other people.

Viewing the eclipse with all those other kindred spirits was an outstanding experience. At “full eclipse” the temperature had dropped 14 degrees and we could see stars in the sky.

The night before the eclipse we had an Oregon Pinot Noir wine called “Total Eclipse”with our dinner … sitting in camping chairs in the middle of a dusty field. Really, it WAS great fun!!

During the eclipse the folks in the motorhome next to us distributed “Moon Pies”. What a hoot!

About Us

After 10 years of traveling in a 2007 Roadtrek 210 which was “cozy” and efficient we sold our “Bronze Bullet” and purchased a 20 foot Outdoors RV Creekside mountain tough trailer.  We use the trailer now for longer stays. We still live life as “Roadtrekkers” and after being at our “home base” for a while, we get the itch to get back on the road. 

 

The wonderful thing about “Roadtrekking” is all the great people we get to meet in our travels. When “on the road” one tends to meet up with “kindred spirits” who also have desire to travel, learn, and meet people.

 

Maybe you found this site because we connected on the road, at a campground, or on a side trip. We are glad you’re here!
