Chickamauga Battlefield, Tennessee River, Thor and Marco Polo

September 29, 2009 |

How is that for a title?  But it does sum up a very long day. We took off this morning for the Chickamauga Battlefield, as recommended by our pals Scout and Freyja.  It was great because there were lots and lots of trails. The coolest part though was that Natasha was able to pick out…

Day 2 – Chattanooga

September 28, 2009 |

Guess what we woke up to?  Sunshine!  Many of you may be shrugging and saying, “so what?”, but those of us in the Southeastern U.S. are very excited because that means the rains finally stopped.  Fantastic!  We got in a really good walk before leaving Big Ridge State Park: Rusty walked the wall on the…

Rainy Saturdays in the S-RV

September 27, 2009 |

Cheoah here.  Can I tell you about our day on Saturday? I have to tell you about the day, not show you, because the humans were worried about getting camera equipment wet.  Apparently, the deluge of rain that we got would have overwhelmed the technical equipment.  Oh, well. We started off Saturday morning on the…

On the Road

September 26, 2009 |

We took one last look off of our front porch at the colors starting to appear on the trees: Why one last look?  We will not see it for over a week and no telling how much the leaves will have changed colors.  Let’s see if Cheoah’s face tells you why we will not see…

Comments and Questions

September 25, 2009 |

We did a post on reader’s comments and questions last month and received a lot of good feedback about it, so we thought we would do it again.  Who knows, maybe it will become a monthly feature?  But, then again, we are Siberians and we don’t like to be predictable. Regardless, make sure you ask…

Street Reactions

September 24, 2009 |

As most of you know, we travel in a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited (the 4-door kind).  All dogs are carefully seat belted in for their safety, but occupants of other cars only see The Herd in the back of a Jeep.  Amazingly, we draw all sorts of reactions.  Here is one that was just too funny:…

September 23, 2009 |

Hey, Dad, I need you to sit very still.  Sit.  Stay.  You know. Now take that left hand and start scratching. Now – don’t move. Ahhhhh.  Queen Natasha out.

Rainy Sundays

September 21, 2009 |

Wow, how is it ever been raining this weekend.  We have had measurable rainfall (according to our hu-dad’s weather station) 18 days in a row and over 3 inches of rain since Friday morning.  We would consider building a Siberian Ark, but we had a great distraction Sunday instead.  Bully Sticks!!!  Sorry for the blurry…

Friday Night TV

September 19, 2009 |

We did something very rare last night – we watched TV (Fringe, which just really hits my weird tastes).  So all we wanted to do is sit down, get comfortable, have a little quiet, and watch TV.  Try that with a Herd living in a house.  I am so glad I have Tivo so I…

Norman Rockwell

September 18, 2009 |

We thought this picture was very Norman Rockwell – a high country field with a magnificent tree in the center. But, frankly, we enjoyed this even more.  Kiska sitting in the back of the Jeep looking wistfully in the distance.
