– St. Thomas – It was a quiet day two. We were up at 6am to go for our run, which was just along the promenade next to the water that goes along the front of Charlotte Amalie, which is the town where we are staying. I don’t think I mentioned that yesterday. Despite its…

– St. Thomas – Hey! It’s 8:09pm here as I start to write this blog post, and I’ve been up since 2am, so please forgive me any egregious spelling or grammar mistakes. I am not sure that I’m all here anymore. I mentioned it after our Banff and Jasper trip, but now the time has…

– Dodge City, Kansas to Denton, Texas – I hope you like windmills. Our windmill photos have windmill photos that they took with their windmill friends while out watching windmills. In all seriousness, the Great Plains are full of wind mills and wind turbines. Welcome to this blog post about their homeland. Today we went…

– Valentine, Nebraska to Dodge City, Kansas – This trip is really winding down. Today we made it to two national park sites, though we were aiming for three. We missed a fort that would’ve been a little off the shortest path because we spent way too much time this morning driving around Niobrara National…

– Minot, North Dakota to Valentine, Nebraska – Well, we didn’t get to run this morning. It was thunderstorming when we woke up, so we went back to bed for another hour and a half instead. I guess that’s fine. The trail we’d picked out for this morning would’ve been okay, but not one of…

– Jasper, Alberta to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan – Well, today was mostly a driving day. It was beautiful, too, since we didn’t have time tor really get out and enjoy it. Unlike yesterday, the clouds were burning off, the morning was clear, and it wasn’t raining. We could see the mountains as soon as we got…

– Jasper National Park – Well, we had fun today, but it was a bit of a bust in some ways. For the whole trip, despite some cooler temperatures and a smattering of rain (and snow!), we’ve been very lucky weather-wise. Our luck ran out today. It rain pretty much all day, right up until…

– Jasper National Park – Today was our Jasper hiking day. We walked ourselves into exhaustion. Okay, maybe not quite that bad, but I am pretty tired. We really did do a lot of stuff today, and we definitely had a lot of fun. Even Ripley is worn out, and that’s not an easy feat…

– Jasper National Park – We had a nice, mostly relaxing day today. Our alarm went off at 5am, but we lounged until 5:30 before we got out of bed and got dressed to go run. Our run was along the main stretch of town, and it was entirely empty for most of our run….
