R.G. Takes on the Twins

The twins have left the nest! Or to use another bird metaphor, they have flown south to SUU. Roaming Gnome and I helped them move down and then we all took a side trip to Cedar Breaks.
Here are a few pictures from our trip.

Back to Nature with R.G.

Gnomes love S'mores.

The Little Grand Canyon isn't so little, even to non-gnomes.


Oh, right. Looking at the camera.

Here fishy, fishy. Oh well, perhaps next time.

Here I am just outside of the campsite at Huntington State Park. I hope you enjoyed a few photos from my first camping trip. Cheerio. -R.G.

Love Means Nothing..

...Nothing equals my tennis skills. The past few weeks me and few people from work have been playing tennis after work. It has been really fun and a great way to exercise without even knowing it. Now if only my serve would improve.

Next Stop: CornerView Junction

Transportation is the theme for this weeks Corner View posts (to find a list of participants click here). Since I was young I have had a love affair with automobiles. Don't believe me? Just check out my posts on this very blog under the autos label. So here are a few pictures of my beloved JP Sally. Yes, I am one of those people who name their cars (I told you I have a strange fascination with automobiles). I realize there are many other forms of transportation and to prove that point I am sharing a few pictures along those lines that I took a little ways outside of my corner, in one of my favorite places, Chicago. Enjoy.

RG Travel Tip #2

Hello All! RoamingGnome here with another travel tip. This week I remind you that when traveling it is important to stay active and hydrated. Here are a few examples of what you can do to achieve these goals:

(When your hands are stuck in your pockets driving IS exercise. Also check out my latest exercise skills here, courtesy of the BobCat! -RG)

Happy Birthday Russ!

Roaming...Travel Signs

Hello Everyone! RoamingGnome here with some advice for when you travel, make sure you pay attention to signs and maps. Trust me, as someone who its 1'1", it is easy to overlook some little sign that might have some valid instructions. Well just take a look at these...

Roaming...The Journey Begins

Hello MisterE readers! Allow me to introduce myself. My name is RoamingGnome or RG for short. I thought you might enjoy a brief recap of what I hope is the first of many adventures. If you like what you see let me know and I will post more, even if it is hard to type; what with my hands being permanently stuck in my pockets and all. -RG

After a quick stop in Fillmore it is back on the road. Coach has sure changed since the last time I traveled. I will have to have a word with my travel agent at the next stop.

I provide my traveling companions with the ultimate advice one should remember when traveling with a large group...you can see their reaction above!

Excellent, dinner. In Cedar City I share some of my favorite meal suggestions with part of the group.

I knew I should have ordered off the kids menu.

At last, after a lengthy car ride we have arrived at our destination, Coral Canyon (which I am informed is pronounced in a whisper) in lovely Washington, Utah.

Later that night I make sure that my traveling companions are all settled in. Some of them seem to have fared better then others. Remember, you need to pace yourself when traveling.

The next day we recharge our batteries at In-N-Out. I am told this will be the first of many visits to this establishment. Good thing Gnomes like cheeseburgers!

As I stated before you need to pace yourself while traveling or at least plan in some resting time. Here one of my companions takes a nap before the adventure continues. Check back soon for the rest of the story.

Ready to Roam

Me and the RoamingGnome are getting ready to go on vacation! Sure, its still a few days away and yes, it is only to St. George but it can't come fast enough. I need a break! And from the looks of it Mr. R Gnome is already set to go.

I'll be Gnome for Christmas!

This is what happens when I get my very own Travelocity roaming gnome and have too much time on my hands...
