As Flynn sits in a grocery store eating area outside of Knoxville, TN waiting for Karl to get an overdue oil change, he can’t help but marvel at the distance and adventures he has travelled in a mere 3 weeks. It is early, and the staff here in the store are doing their best to…
The Story of the Backwards Pioneers
Off to make their fortunes, Flynn and Ollie set off in their covered wagon being pulled by the many faithful horses, all named Karl. Leaving the homestead was bittersweet; the draw of the unknown and new adventures outweighing the appeal of picking onions. They crossed Donner Pass without eating the cat. They crossed the high…
F&O Off & Running
Set up in their new home mid-July, F&O took it for a shake-down run near the dealership for a few days, as they didn’t want to stray too far from a business that would be required to make repairs if needed. None were needed, which is a bloomin’ miracle in the RV world. If you…
July & a Bit of August 2023 ~ We Did What?
Where to start? F&O survived Red Bay, AL for 5 weeks. This was a massive undertaking, as the town is dry, small, seriously Baptist, full of ‘blessings’, as well as being hot as Hades, humid, lots and lots of thunderstorms, and boring as boring can be for two critters who prefer to roam. The closest…
Where The F Is The Dish Drainer?
Okay, so we jump ahead. The Chronicle will fill in the missing 5 weeks of our travels at a (soon) later date, but just felt the need to share this story from small town Heiskell, TN. Those of you privy to the Red Bay Email String will especially appreciate this short saga. F&O are holed…
April, May, June, and some of July
No, the bird and otter have not fallen off the face of the earth. They have not gone dark, they have not bowed out of the blog entertainment. They have been spending their time doing things they don’t remember. Getting old does that to you. We departed LV in mid-April and went back to Coarsegold,…
It’s Christmas Eve
Today is Christmas Eve, and as with all things F&O our plans changed. Here are the adventures to date: We spent two nights in Tonopah, AZ (NOT to be confused with Tonopah, NV <- a much more interesting place). The site in a random stranger’s Boondockers Welcome driveway was fabulous, the property owner even had…
F&O On the Road – Mid Dec 2022
Flynn and Ollie departed Sin City on a Sunday, the same Sunday as the final day of the NFR which had taken over the city. Those in the know are probably cringing at the thought of driving out of town this day, but in reality there was not a single delay, hiccup, or motor vehicle…
F&O Have Resurfaced
Early December 2022 It would be close to the truth to say that, yes, Flynn and Ollie did fall off the face of the earth for a few months. Even on Twitter the posts have been far and few between as they have escaped the zoo and begun their life on the lam. This is…
What day is it and where are F&O?
Okay, here is a quick update for our loyal readers: In Reno/Sparks, NV, all powered up with plenty of G, Flynn and Ollie began thinking about the logistics of step 2 of their trip – off to Coarsegold to visit family and friends, go on a dinner train ride, try a SUP for the first…
