We shall call this the day of the views. After a leisurely morning with plenty of sleep the night before, Flynn and Ollie still ran slightly late to meet a friend at the Red Rock Casino. This person moved to the area in the past few years, so F&O wanted to pick his brain about…
LV 01/21 , Episode 2
Monday: (we only mention this to remind ourselves, as it is so easy to lose track of days when one is a drunk, poker playing degenerate). After a leisurely morning (okay, to afternoon) in the room, recovering from the night before, Flynn headed over to the Bellagio via the shortcut, which took him through the…
LV 01/21 , Episode 1
Flynn & Ollie touched down in LV on a Sunday afternoon. It was not raining, it was not cold, and it was not gray. Mission accomplished. An hour later, a hefty tip in place, we were ensconced in the hotel room with a fabulous view of the the fountains, the strip, the north valley and…
Trees, and then a Brat-son
Where we left you hanging: the Redwoods As of the last post, Flynn and Ollie were in the redwoods, getting back to being one with nature. Ohhhmm. They took a hike, had a picnic, and did a lot of cooking. Four nights were spent on the Avenue of the Giants, hanging out with giants, bigfoot,…
The Best Worst Thing (and Cowpersons)
After a short and uneventful drive from Vernal (dinosaur-land) to Duchesne, UT, Flynn & Ollie checked into their campsite and took a leisurely drive around the town to see what it was all about. Turns out it was all about nothing. Okay, the town sits on Starvation NRA/reservoir which did not sound at all appealing…
Caution, dinosaurs be here!
Having no idea where he left off, Flynn shall just jump through having visited South Pass City as F&O made their way along the Flaming Gorge NRA, and into Vernal, UT to visit their very old friends, the dinosaurs. Hang on. For those that have the opportunity, South Pass City is a state historical site,…
F and O Road Trip 2020
The otter and the flamingo took off to parts unknown, armed with only their wits and with what they had learned watching 6 seasons of Alone. Destinations: Cody (WY), Yellowstone NP, Grand Teton NP, Dinosaur NM, Redwoods (CA) SP, and Beverly Beach (OR) SP. After three days of exhausting travel, which included bunking down in…
The Closure of Las Vegas
As Flynn alluded to in the previous poker post, Flynn and Ollie were in Las Vegas during it’s last operating days. Frankly, it can only be described as surreal, from a regular visitor’s point of view. F&O were in Las Vegas for 3 nights, 4 full days. Arrival Wed morning 3/11, Day 1: nothing had…
Key West Days 2 & 3 – Sun and Booze
Prior to the trip, a friend of ours made it crystal clear that F&O were to go to the Southernmost point buoy on Key West, and get a picture. Apparently he had neglected this when visiting himself years ago, and needed F&O to make it right in his mind. Therefore, the first item on the…
F & O do FL ~ Key West Pt 1
As faithful followers on Twitter and IG know, the bird and otter (and their handlers) are officially on yet another vacation. While this does not rival the Amalfi coast and Paris of last year, this one is shaping up to be a close rival. Armed with disinfecting wipes and hand sanitizer, they embarked upon a…
