Settled In and Cold in Montana

I have set up shop in my Montana cabin about 23 miles northwest of Yellowstone.  Two things I had not expected have reared their ugly heads.  One, I knew it was going to be cold.  But the cold here seems much colder than almost anywhere else.  Two, the spiders!!!  This place is crawling with spiders, and believe me, they are tough little buggers.

I did a bit of research and wrote How To Get Rid of Spiders.   It's not too scary and I hope you enjoy it!

Will be posting some of my forays into Yellowstone in the weeks and months ahead.

Pretty Windy at Chimney Rock

Chimney Rock Historic Site is a landmark along the old Oregon Trail.  It was a marking place for thousands of westbound settlers.

For me, it was a cool place to rest on my way to Yellowstone.  The wind here was incredible and it reminded me of all the drafts I used to experience in my wonderful old house.

So what did I do? You guessed it. I wrote Get Rid of Drafts.

Please read and enjoy,

Lots of Leaves at Harry Truman's Pad

Decided to drop by Harry Truman's on the way to Yellowstone. My favorite president. Give 'em hell, Harry!

Truman lived in a normal old Victorian house in Independence, Missouri.  The park service has kept it up beautifully, but there were sure a lot of leaves on the lot.

It got me to thinking about all the leaves I have raked over the years, and I was inspired to write How To Get Rid of Leaves.

Happy reading.  I should be at the cabin in a few weeks.

A New Adventure - Yellowstone!

My barber has a friend who owns a small cabin about 25 miles from Yellowstone.

He has been gracious enough to lend it to me for a few months!

The cabin will serve as my home base while I explore this great national park during the late fall and winter months.

I was so excited to score such excellent lodging that I ran out and did what any sane person would do ... I wrote an article about how to Get Rid of Acne.

Skip and I leave tomorrow, expecting to arrive in mid November. I'll write along the way.

Happy traveling,

Ted

Exhausted at the End of the Trail

Reached Springer Mountain yesterday and officially finished the AT.

What a trip!






Haven't written an article to celebrate. Rather, I've given a lot of thought about where to go next.

My first inkling is to try Yellowstone during the winter months. The solitude would provide plenty of impetus to write a bunch of "Get Rid of ... " articles.

We'll see, but for now, we rest!

Crazed By Gnats at Blood Mountain GA

Even the gnats could not bother me at Blood Mountain. Incredible sunset for Skip and me. We'll be finishing up early next week.

I really thought we had seen the last of the gnats, but they really were out in full force.

Gnats are something everyone would be glad to be rid of. I wrote Get Rid of Gnats and included some instructions for building your own gnat trap.

I'll have to try it myself when/if I ever settle back down.

Till next time, may you have a pest free day!

No Man Boobs at Tray Mountain, GA

In Georgia now. Tray Mountain is a great place to overlook what I just hiked through in the Nantahala National Forest.

All this hiking has gotten me in shape. I noticed today that I have lost my dreaded man boobs.

This was not my intent when I started the AT trip, but it sure is delightful.

Wrote Get Rid of Man Boobs. No ground breaking thoughts, just some common sense.

Happy hiking to all!
