The King of England is here in Scotland, an I saw his flag flying over Balmoral Castle, today. He attended church at Crathie. My guide for today, stated that I probably could have seen him, if I went in the church while he was there, but I guess that I was more interested in see…

Journal Entry – Scotland Day 4
I am really trying to wear myself out, since I walked/hiked 7.22 miles or 16,200 steps today. I got back around 2:00 and was in the hot tub for a half an hour just after 4:00. The hot tub does help with my sore muscles, but they could use a massage. Massages here cost about…

Can’t Leave Levelland
Four the past four weeks, it seems like I have been trying to leave Levelland, but forces beyond my control are keeping me here. It started with a respiratory infestation that everyone seemed to have after the holidays. It took me about ten days to get over. Then a big snowstorm came in and shut…

Stranded – Ended
Late this morning, I moved back into my trailer. It did warm up to 47 degrees today, with the low being 33 degrees tonight, so the furnace will not work too hard to night. The main road not snow covered, but the back roads and streets are still snow coved. Yesterday, I traveled east of…
