Kinda Alien Rig – But I Like It!

Posted on October 15, 2013 by Mokihana

I’ve seen this rig around my area a number of times, but this is the first time I’ve seen it parked. I hurried around the corner after parking my own kawila and took this photo on October 11th.

It’s an old Dodge truck, but it’s also a motor home, and I’m not sure what else. It looks kinda other-worldly and alien, but it also looks pretty dang cool.

Now I wish I’d gone behind it and taken another photo. Oh well. At least I got photos!

Lovely Autumn Day

Posted on October 13, 2013 by Mokihana

This is what I did today: watched Saucer and Dan pull the pumpkin wagon out to the pumpkin patch at Olson Farm in Damascus, This is one of my favorite autumn treats!

Love to see them trotting up the hill. It’s quite a workout for them!

K’den. Today’s post, we go back to May, 2010, and our journey to Montana. This is going to be an exciting post! But first I’ll tell you that the photo I took in the last post from this year was a young elk. Way to go, AFK and Debra!

Here in May, 2010, we are in Idaho, near the 3 Devils Picnic Area. You can see how we’re really in the mountainous, forested, area of Idaho.

Montana on my Mind

Posted on October 5, 2013 by Mokihana

We just got back from an incredible eleven days in Montana. Yes, again. And here I haven’t even finished our 2010 adventures!

To say that it was an amazing time is an understatement. We drove from home to Whitefish, Montana, drove the Going to the Sun Highway, headed to Bozeman and my ʻohana, drove the Beartooth Highway and back to Bozeman through Yellowstone, from there to West Yellowstone where we spent a couple of days, one of which was back in Yellowstone, and from there on back home.

Mo betta I hurry up and finish 2010, yeah, so I can share da photos from dis trip too! But hea one preview foa u folks. Click on da photo an try guess wat is.

Pumpernickel Valley again!

Posted on August 14, 2013 by Mokihana

I had a really cool comment on this post I did a bunch of years ago, all about my curiosity about Pumpernickel Valley in Nevada.

This post has gotten tons of comments, some of them giving me added information about the place. But today’s comment really excited me, because David, the guy who left the comment, had actually lived there!

Try read his comments, the last one in the post. Fascinating stuff!! Thanks so much, David, for taking the time to write all this down and leaving your comment for others to read.

Montana Road Trip 2010 – Part Ten

Posted on August 10, 2013 by Mokihana

I gotta tell u folks, driving along da Clearwater River in Idaho is a whole trip in itself. There was so much beauty, so much to see, and our senses were on overload. Before we left I’d plotted out our route, only knowing that I wanted to go a different way than we’d gone before. I kinda picked the Orofino route because it looked fun and interesting, but I never dreamed how beautiful it was gonna be.

As we continued alongside the Clearwater River, we saw a train trestle. Gotta have a photo of dat, right? Cuz wat if get train??!!

Musubi was content just to stay next to Try Look. He loved her.

August 9 – Rain!!!!

Posted on August 9, 2013 by Mokihana

 

So happy for rain tonight at sunset. Rain to cut the dust, rain the help the fire danger, rain to freshen the fields and sweeten the air. I love the rain in summer!!

Rain clouds, sunset, and Echinacea.
