It’s been nearly two months since my last post. Since then, we’ve moved into the apartment in Baltimore and parked our RV in PA for the winter. It’s been bittersweet. On one hand, I’m relieved that I don’t have to spend this winter chipping ice off the fresh water lines or using the hair dryer [...]
Things have moved very quickly since my last post. In fact, the night I made my last post, I was perusing Craigslist, and I found an ad from a young woman who was trying to get out of her lease, so she needed someone to take over her apartment. The location was right, the price [...]
We’ve been home from Corry for over a week now, and I’ve been meaning to bring the saga to a close. Right now, I should be working on getting ready for school, so naturally it is a perfect time to write a blog post.

So here it is, our next-to-last day in Pennsylvania before heading home to Baltimore early Saturday morning, and I find myself reflecting on the past seven weeks. As I do, I discover some recurrent themes.

Today was a bit frantic. Alexis spent the day near tears because she was having troubles with our wifi connection. It was her last day of work before a holiday weekend, end of month, and end of quarter. Translation: It was busy. She had such a hard time that we think we may have to [...]
Today I found five more caches, hiked 2.5 miles through the forest and marsh (a lot for me), had a minor panic attack when it appeared for a short while that the CCBC Geocachers weren’t going to be able to get their van, went to a geocaching event and met lots of nice cachers from [...]
Yes, I know I promised daily blogging. Yesterday wasn’t exactly noteworthy, though. I spent the morning working and the afternoon in bed with a migraine. Alexis and I did go out to dinner at The Library Bar and Grill here in Corry. Yes, it used to be the public library and is now a cafe [...]
Last year, our per day, per person travel cost — fuel, food, lodging, entertainment, and all other expenses — came to $28. That’s on the high side because we ate out a lot and we did quite a bit of shopping above and beyond that which we would normally do had we stayed in Baltimore. [...]
