Lifestyle of Wandering: Reflections of a Wanderer

When I left off on my last post I was talking about the swarm of bees around our screenroom. I know that Troy and Rachael have already given their accounts, but I’ve got to finish mine…because I’m back home now and if I don’t finish it tonight it won’t get done. And I’ve got so […]

So……did I say “get out of hell”? HA! Not too awful long after we left Mud Bay from being stuck, it had started to get light out. My first thought when I saw the sun was, “Oh my God, we’re going to burn to death and it’s going to get soooo hot.” Well, since it […]

I think it’s funny when you go through a horrendous experience, your mind automatically tries to wipe all memory from your thoughts. The past three days of sitting on the beach swimming, fishing, and just chilling have at least dulled the pain. Last time I left you, I was covered in stinking lake mud. Of […]

It’s the middle of the night now as we start to pull out of the mud. Troy and Jed finally realize that they’re really not sure where they’re going. So they kind of leave us sitting there and scout out ahead. Then they come back and we keep going, only to come to another spot […]

Not going to give a lot of info here, yet, but figured I needed to post something. So far, on this trip, we have survived Mom’s driving, being stuck in the sand in the middle of no where (In the van), being stuck in the mudflats all night (In a canoe), millions of mosquitoes, killer […]

OK, so it’s Thursday now, and I’d planned on finishing my last post much sooner than this…sorry! I’ve been silently agonizing over the 2nd degree (sun)burn on my legs. It’s blistering up now…maybe it will go away soon? [whimper, whine, moan…] And is it time for more Tylenol or Ibuprofen yet? Sorry, no, I don’t […]

My, my… sometimes hindsight is twenty-twenty, but, then again, you can’t see the past for the black eye it gave you the first time around. Now I know it’s been a couple days since I have written. But I honestly feel like I have more than adequate excu- errr reasons for my hiatus. June 17th […]

Well, I last left you with my experience being stuck in the sand waiting for Troy and Jed to find rescue. Not long after I wrote the blog, they came with four “rednecky” type people in a big old pick-up truck and they pulled us out. When they first got to us, they drove their […]

Well, it’s Tuesday, and we’re all just getting a chance to post today. I’m sitting in a Super 8 motel room after a good night’s sleep…A great change from the night before! [Before I go into any details, I want to assure everyone that we all made it back OUT of the Everglades in one […]

Wow, so yesterday was the first day down here, and what a day it was. To start with, I’m not a big fan of mapquest. And after yesterday I’m REALY not a big fan.After being lead down a series of progressively less navigatible “Roads” we eventually got to the soon to be NFS 51. if […]
