MILESTONE: MEG BEATS JAKE IN OTHELLO

Two days ago we tied. Last night Meg won by 2 at our campsite outside
Yellowstone. It’s on.

Also this is our first post. Please read it. We made it for YOU.

Didn’t have enough pieces so we superglued a bunch of pennies and dimes together

A few places we’ve been (and slept):

 * Walton, NY (East Brook Community Farm)
 * Trumansburg, NY (Chez John/Tonia)
 * Geneva, OH (Geneva State Park Campground)
 * Cleveland, OH
 * Vermilion, OH (Paper Moon Vineyards)
 * Detroit, MI
 * Mount Pleasant, MI (Mountain Station Brewery)
 * Empire, MI (Empire Township Campground)
 * Traverse City, MI
 * St. Ignace, MI (The Gourd Barn)
 * Marinette, WI (Boat launch)
 * Green Bay, WI (Boat launch)
 * Madison, WI (ALMOST in the arboretum)
 * House on the Rock, WI
 * La Crosse, WI (Chez Colleen)
 * Minneapolis, MN (Powderhorn Park)
 * Tyler, MN (Hip Camp grotto courtesy of Raul)
 * Badlands, SD (Wall rim dispersed camping)
 * Deadwood, SD (Friendship tower trailhead)
 * Cody, WY (Big Game Campground)
 * Yellowstone, WY
 * Bozeman, MT (Random street)

Some questions we’ve asked:

 * What is the difference between “grisly” and “grizzly”? (gruesome versus
   graying/grayish)
 * What does bear scat look like? (like Andre the Giant took a poop)
 * Is Yellowstone on the Continental Divide? (Yes! And actually the majority of
   the park is in the caldera of a super volcano that last erupted 630,000 years
   ago – and we were just driving around right on it!)
 * How do they water all those corn fields? (with way more water than we should
   be devoting to a monoculture crop in a nation-wide drought? Where does the
   water come from? How much does it cost? WHY SO MUCH CORN?)
 * How have we altered the landscape with farming and resource extraction?
 * Is it really ethical to eat meat? (probably not.. and yet… )
 * What is that smell? (a fertilizer slurry? a sulfurous hot spring? Jake after
   eating cheese? Meg a week and a half into no-shower-topia? A vault toilet?)
 * Why is this wet? (leaky 6-gallon water jug? leaky 12-gallon water system?
   sweat? leaky back door?)
 * What’s the deal with Plan Colombia? (read the wikipedia article, TLDR: maybe
   the US should stay out of other people’s business)
 * Why do South Dakotans adore Teddy Roosevelt? (because he was a cowboy)
 * Why do those rocks look like that? (geology!)
 * Where are we going to sleep?
 * Am I supposed to go left or right? Left or right?!?!
 * Why is Van making that noise? (low on transmission fluid? strap flapping? low
   on power steering fluid? we left the fan vent open – AGAIN!? passenger seat
   bolts are loose?
 * What are these people talking about on their first date? Is it a good date?
 * Is this rock worth keeping? (How much space is left in the rock box?)
 * What is an synonym for “crazy views”? (majestic vistas)
 * How much have we spent in our first month? (about half what it costs to live
   in Portland in two separate apartments)
 * Are we going to get in trouble for sleeping here? (not yet)
 * Why was that cashier so nice? (because they’re from the midwest)
 * Why was that cashier so mean? (because we have tattoos? because we talk
   differently? because we are fundamentally horrible people deserving of scorn?
   because they’re NOT from the midwest?)
 * Where are all these Freaking Flies coming from? (the maggot incident in NH?
   bad luck? Seriously we killed about 70 flies in two weeks.)
 * Who lived here first and how were they displaced? (a starting point)
 * What would this forest look like if we never clear cut it?
 * Why does the gray water tank smell so bad? (because it’s like 100 degrees
   down there, and we have no U-trap)
 * Are you mad at me? (probably not)
 * Why are there so many pine needles on my side of the bed? (who knows)
 * How much is that RV? ($638,000)
 * Why is it so hot? (because of fossil fuels)
 * What kind of hipster is that person? (@Bozeman, MT @Minneapolis, MN,
   @Madison, WI)
 * Can I pet your dog?
 * Does THIS hat look good on me?
 * Why do those trucks keep driving up and parking near our parking lot sleep
   spot? (cruising? CRUISING?)
 * Did that couple just lose their dog? (no, they don’t have a dog, but they are
   quite friendly and have lots of travel tips)
 * Where is my _______? (somewhere in Van)
 * What does it mean to appreciate nature? (is it collecting vistas? escaping
   from other people? imagining a world untouched by industrialization?)
 * Why do people take pictures of themselves in front of signs that tell you
   where you are?
