U.S. Route 380, NM

U.S. Route 380, NM

Hello friends, We had to stop when our radiator ran out of coolant. Melody went to get us some from the nearest town along Route 380, which is probably Roswell. A friendly farmer who looked a lot like Dale the Salesman, by the name of Hank, offered us some iced tea. Cost us a dollarContinue Reading

Very Large Array, NM

Very Large Array, NM

Hello earthlings, Here we are at the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array in New Mexico. The satellite dishes are quite the sight and it’s really neat to think that they are listening for alien activity. Sunny took this photo of us and I find it very strange. There were certainly clouds that evening, butContinue Reading

Phoenix, AZ

Phoenix, AZ

    Hello friends, I think it was the heat I noticed first. Gummy was sweating like… well a big hairy werewolf, and worse yet: a werewolf in a giant oven. That’s all this place really is. Who would build a town here, anyway? We all noticed the heat long before we realized the streetsContinue Reading

San Francisco, CA

  Hello Friends, We arrived in San Francisco, CA in the early morning. After enjoying a walk through Pier 39 where we saw sea lions, we headed to the Wharf for lunch. We nearly got accused of stealing when a crab salesman saw Choral, and got out of there quick when Choral saw what they did toContinue Reading

Santa Cruz, CA

Hello friends, Is garlic pizza classified as a weapon? Could be. It certainly sent those vampires running when they caught up to us again at the Santa Cruz boardwalk. Gummy had been eating garlic pizza to Sunny’s disgust, and when he screamed upon seeing the vampire gang, they smelled the full firepower of his garlicContinue Reading

Salinas, CA

Salinas, CA

Hello friends, We escaped the gang of vampires when the sun rose, but not before taking a barrage of fresh lemons to the side of the RV. Boy! were those vamps were sour. We’ve stopped at a Salinas, CA beach to unwind today and Choral certainly needs it. She hasn’t even blinked since last night.Continue Reading

Highway 101, CA

Highway 101, CA

Hello friends, Sunny, Joe Miller, and Choral the crab thanked me for my Tomb-scones and Grave Goblets last night, but ended up scooting around town all night with that gang of helpful vampires. They insisted we head out without them this morning, saying they’d catch up. We’ve been driving for most of the day, stoppingContinue Reading

Paso Robles, CA

Paso Robles, CA

Hello friends, There are vampires in the vineyard! The moment we arrived in Paso Robles, California, the sky grew overcast. Really lovely weather, a little ominous, but lovely. Still it ruined Sunny’s plan to relax and sun bath. Instead he, Joe Miller, and Choral went to walk around the vineyards as Gummy, Runny, and myself playedContinue Reading

Santa Monica, CA

Santa Monica, CA

  Hello Friends, We had to backtrack a couple hours towards and then through Los Angeles to get to Santa Monica from our detour down to San Diego. Most of today we spent at the beach. It got real hot so Runny made some of her delicious and refreshing party punch. Choral the crab reallyContinue Reading
