Malware and Pandemonium

Last week we had a malware attack on the blog, right during an out-of-signal stint at Mt. Rainier. The resulting pandemonium has wrenched the schedule a bit and induced more stress than we care to admit.The good news is that we have the malware removed. The bad news is that doing so left huge parts…

  • Any idea how the malware got there? Any tips for us other bloggers? Glad it’s taken care of and mostly working again. I was thinking about trying out some balanced rocks as well. I may try using some super glue to give me a helping hand 😉ReplyCancel

      Our WordPress install is a little messy for a few reasons, which is part of the problem. We’ve done some housekeeping removing old blog installs and updating plugins. I’m sure the hole was an older plugin that wasn’t updated. We have added some tracking and testing plugins to warn us if we have an issue, and we’ll be much more responsive in the future!

      Also, at the weight of these rocks, I’m not sure super glue would help much!ReplyCancel

Where Have You Wandered This Summer?

It’s Labor Day. The annual end-of-summer holiday. I can’t believe that soon we will be feeling the crisp autumn air, eating pumpkin pie, and getting ready for Halloween. Our travels have motivated us to ‘wander’ in the places we visit. We wander to parks, visitor centers, forests, and towns just because there is something interesting…

  • We wandered to Arkansas 🙂 One of my favorite places to go! We had never been to the SW so everything was new to us though! It was in June but felt like summer so I am counting it 🙂 Other than that it has been the year of lakes. We have never swam in the lakes here but this year we did and it was not too bad! My husband is from MN so he is used to clear lakes but these brown lakes are okay also 🙂 I get travel guides for our area and for those we grew up at (before we make a trip to see family). I try to pretend we are tourist visiting 🙂 I get to see so many amazing things in Oklahoma that so many people have no clue about!

      Danielle – That’s so awesome!! Secretly (or not so secretly) I’m dying to go to Arkansas. I’ve heard its absolutely gorgeous!! It sounds like we’ll have to hit you up for ideas when we make it to Oklahoma. 🙂ReplyCancel

    Our Labor Day adventures led us to Great Basin to the bristle cone pines. Your pictures were an inspiration. We had been before, but we could not make the hike because of all the snow on the ground. Your blog has helped inspire me and my husband to go back to RV living. We did it the first four years of our marriage, and we miss it. Thanks for sharing your adventures!ReplyCancel

  • We had a great summer of Wandering. We got home in late April after 8 months on the road and spent May and June wandering in our own northern backyard – Yukon (Canada) and Alaska through our adventures.

    July and August have seen us out and about again and we’ve hit Nelson (BC), Regina (Saskatchewan), Kawartha Lakes (Ontario) and Ottawa (Ontario). Some for family, some for road schooling and all for fun!

    We head home tomorrow for a month before we hit the road again for our winter adventures!

      Nice! I love hearing about your adventures in Canada! I also love how you balance time at home and time on the road. I’m hoping we can find that kind of a balance in the future. Thanks for sharing!ReplyCancel

    We just got back from Great Sand Dunes NP and Black Canyon of the Gunnison NP in Colorado. I highly recommend both parks, the canyon for the scenery, peacefulness and very dark skies, the sand dunes because it is a giant playground for the kids! Our boys loved exploring the dunes! Many more adventures to come!ReplyCancel

      Oooh!! Colorado is SO high on our list. High enough that currently (haha)it is the “go to” place to settle once we are done. Glad to hear you loved it!ReplyCancel
