Back Home to Life in Da Country

Posted on May 24, 2010 by Mokihana

We’re back home after a fabulous visit with Cousins. Was coming home from da post office pau pick up all our mostly junk mail, and there in the road by our house were five goats wandering around! Wassap wit dat?

So I saw the neighbor was home and knocked on his door (actually, he’s the owner of the vacant rental house and just happened to be there). “Eh, did you know your goats are out on the road?”

Nope, he didn’t. Five of them out there, wandering along the road. So between the two of us we got the goats back in the pasture, which is full of new, yummy grass to much on.

The neighbor said to me, after thanking me for my help, “As if they don’t have enough to eat in here!”

He was fixing the fence as I left.

Da Mystery Road Trip Revealed, Part Twenty!

Posted on May 8, 2010 by Mokihana

I’m so excited! Sometimes Nolemana gives me a hard time for wanting to take so many photos, but because I do, I’m now an official honorary Japanese. I was one before because of my hānai sistah Kikue, but never had the official title. Now I do, thanks to her and AFK! Chee hoo!

You might have already guessed this, probably did, all you akamai readers, that we wanted to see Old Faithful Geyser as long as we were so close. My good friend Linda had suggested that we take the time to zip over there from Bozeman, and that’s exactly what we decided to do. She’d told me that it wasn’t to be missed, because who knew when we’d be able to be in the area again? As I said before, I was so grateful for her suggestion, because we wouldn’t have missed this trip for anything!

This is the sign for the Norris Canyon area:

Da Mystery Road Trip Revealed, Part Nineteen

Posted on April 26, 2010 by Mokihana

Thanks to Molly (from the last post) I figured out that I could make a GoogleMap showing where we’ve been as a non-aerial map (though I still like those too). This is how far we’ve come so far if I’ve done it right. Give it a second to load.

Chee hoo! That worked! Though you have to zoom out to see the whole thing. You can also hold down your mouse key and view from side to side, or zoom in to get up close. You can also look at the aerial or terrain view! The terrain view is really interesting. Mahalo Molly and Google! Continue reading →

We were just about to enter Yellowstone! This shot of Gardiner is around the corner from the main street we’d come in on. In the middle of the left-hand side, you can see the corner of something spectacular.

Posted on April 12, 2010 by Mokihana

Up from the mirey clay of Mokihana’s brain we go. Heh heh. You know, when I’m doing a road trip advencha I tend to be more, you know, more practical. Here we are, there we were, etc. How boring. I’ll try to interject some incredibly creative comments along the way. If can, can; if no can, no can, yeah?
