Faerieworlds

A weekend in Eugene, Oregon at The Faerieworlds Festival with Marleigh, Grandma and the boys...

West of The Blue Mountains

The journey across the Blue Mountains and our time at Stirling...

Good thing Angus did the driving, I'm all turned around.

Asa: the seasoned traveller

A sunset excursion out the back paddock lead us to our first kangaroo. She kept her distance mostly, but let me near enough to catch a glimpse...

Asa is ready for a good Aussie country meal on the farm after a long day of exploring

...and is up early the next morning to start again.

I'm still too nervous to get close enough to add something to the frame for size reference (and I don't think I'll muster the courage any time soon). This is one of the smaller spiders around, about the size of a small house cat.

Dusk, at Stirling.

Camping at Meroo National Park

And then they drove across country...

Time to play a little photographic catch up. We successfully packed up the big old farm house in New York (thanks to Asa's grandma!) and then drove across 11 states in 6 days with everything we own, including our little car towed behind the truck, our blind cat Steve and the aforementioned grandmother. Amazing.

A few photos from the last two weeks of packing and driving and adventuring...

Adventures to be told and more photos to share...soon.

On the road

Our lives in the truck we drive, we are Westbound. Homebound. Every minute one more mile, every day one step closer.





We are on our way.
