Hard to believe our second week at Cape Blanco has already flown by. We continue to experience such a wide variety of moods and colors here, and we remain absolutely enchanted. We’re immersing ourselves in lighthouse history and thoroughly enjoying the ‘job’ of sharing the magic with visitors. We’ve also remained incredibly busy. Between having […]

Getting to Know Cape Blanco
We’ve now been at Cape Blanco for just over a week. We’ve completed our first full set of volunteer shifts, and start another today. There are 4 volunteer couples and we work on a rotational schedule of three days in a row (an afternoon shift, a full 6 hr day, then a morning shift), get […]
Our Way Too Quick Trip to Cape Blanco
It’s always a balancing act when you have a destination and arrival date, and a lot of friends along the way to visit. Our arrival date for orientation for our Lighthouse Duties at Cape Blanco was quickly approaching, and we only had 3 nights left. And we had 3 sets of friends we wanted to […]
Home on the Ranch – A Cat Family Reunion
I have been so excited these past few weeks (well, as excited as cats get). My people said we were going to this place called Oregon, which is where I was born! In 2008 Chris and Cherie arrived to their friend’s ranch in Lebanon, OR to discover there were kittens running the place! I hopped […]
Following the Gorge into Portland
Whew, it’s been a crazy and amazing couple of weeks and I’m a few miles behind on updating the travelogue. I’ll try to rectify that this week now that we’re settled in at our lighthouse hosting gig and will have lots more free time for writing. Let’s see… last we updated we had finally just […]
Don’t Fight the Current… Adjust the Sails!
Want to know one of the secrets to happiness? Happiness is an attitude, not a thing that happens. You can’t create it, you have to start with it. Like sailing, you can either become frustrated fighting the currents, or you can adjust the sails with an excitement towards the future. I was pretty decent at […]

The Technomads have Left Montana!
After a night of rocking blues in Billings, Montana to celebrate the completion of our engine rebuild.. it was time to hit the open roads! It’s been quite a bizarre feeling mixed with excitement and daze. I can only imagine it’s similar to a young bird getting kicked out of their nest to go explore […]
Vrooms & Blues
We had a delightful and recharging stay at Spring Creek Campground (our review) just outside Big Timber, MT. We don’t know how much of our experience there was just juxtaposition to our stay of 6 weeks in a parking lot, or if the campground really was that awesome – but it was just what we […]
On the Road Again!!!!
We can’t thank the team at Interstate PowerSystems in Billings, MT enough for their efforts this past week during our engine re-install after the rebuild. They all put in long hours. They tackled each obstacle head on. All with one goal – to get us back on the road in time for my birthday yesterday. […]
