Huh?

| May 6, 2007

Donald Rumsfeld once said, “There are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns — the ones we don’t know we don’t know.” Needless to say, it’s [...]

Nugget joins McCumberland Gap as official roadie

| January 10, 2007

Heavy winds and drifting snow have kept us close to home lately. We’ve sollicited the help of our husky, Nugget, by hooking his harness to a sled loaded with fire wood, so we could stash it closer to the house. Last week he did the same with a bass amp I had stored in the [...]

Touring Muscians – A Family Affair

| November 26, 2006

What a week! It started on Monday by driving to Delta to watch and join pianist Joy Myers and flutist Donna Wissinger perform. Joy Myers is my mom. I had a very small part in the performance. Though I enjoyed being a part of it, I got the most enjoyment out of seeing my mom [...]

White Water Rafting The Grand Canyon

| August 11, 2006

What an amazing summer so far! I just got back from rafting the Grand Canyon with 18 family members! It was the trip of a lifetime. It’s really hard being back. I wish I was still on the river. If you ever get a chance to take the trip, you must do it. The rapids [...]

Well, we had a little scare yesterday up here in the mountains west of Boulder. There was a fire in the canyon just north of here. Luckily, the firefighters got the blaze contained. It did burn over 6 acres in the Roosevelt National Forest. I was playing a gig at the Old Dillon Inn, but [...]

Welcome to the VW Camper Chronicles. Odometer 184,300. Greetings from a Coffee Shop in Breckenridge, Colorado. Elevation well over 9,000 feet. We just drove in from Steamboat Springs.
