Happy anniversary to us

Four years in the Beaver Monterey. It’s a good place to be. We mean to still be driving this on our twentieth anniversary in it. We’ll be the funny old people driving the classic coach a Dad points out to his kid and says: “Check it out son. That’s what motorhomes used to look like.”

We usually stay out in the open, but this time we’ve stuffed into a forest campground. A tight fit, but no problem. It’s good to be in the forest.


Changing latitudes. Changing habitats. Swarms of black capped and mountain chickadees. Red breasted nuthatches. Pine siskins clogging the feeders. Cedar waxwings by the hundreds gorging on berries, evening grosbeaks.

We saw a chimney swift. But chimney swifts aren’t here. Vaux’s Swift. Life Bird! Number 505.

Visitor maps

One of my tasks at Taylor, Roth and Company is to expand our exposure. I’m doing that with promotional material and the website. I’ve managed to get our website up to the first page if you Google “Nonprofit CPA Colorado”. The Travel Blog is part of the overall effort. Websites, Blogs, Facebook, Twitter. Social Networking. It’s all about connecting with people. Some of those people might even be interested in our website and what we do.

We use tracking software to see how we’re doing. It’s fun to see where the people are that are looking. Check out the visitor map for the work website:

And for the Travel Blog:

We’re actually getting a little more activity on the travel blog than on the business website, but it’s all part of the same effort; the same learning experience.

Hungry Horse, MT

Our dissection of the country is complete:


A beautiful day in Montana. A driving day. Rolling grassy hills interrupted by forests. Following the Clark Fork. Cool morning. Warm day. Montana names: Deer Lodge, Bearmouth, Whitefish, Cut Bank, Wolf Point, Beavertail, Blackfoot, Hungry Horse. That’s where we stopped: the Mountain View RV Park in Hungry Horse. We’ll stay here a few days.

We continue our diagonal swath northwest across the country. A drive north from West Yellowstone to Interstate 90, then west to Riverfront RV Park in Garrison, MT. 2,530 miles from Port Aransas.
