I wouldn’t be afraid to recommend either both the Kingman KOA and Lotta Lou’s Cafe for a little breakfast and interesting / hilarious / odd conversation with the woman who works there.

I’m so glad we got to cross the Hoover Dam (twice now) before they finish the bridge shown here, which will redirect cars away from the dam itself. It is a real load on an RV to get up and down that thing though…

Portlanding With Sock Dreams
Olivia posted this in Olivia's Diary, Personal Posts, Photos
In stark contrast to Nathan’s knees-up in Tahoe I’ve been taking chilling out to the extreme in Portland, with my good old friends Bsti and Niqkita of Sock Dreams. They live in a dreamy, lush neighbourhood, walking distance to unique coffee shops, divine antique stores, quirky bookshops, health stores and all kinds of apothecaries!! Their home is a haven for my slightly over-travelled soul, with a cozy bed up in the attic – a beautiful girly boudoir. I hardly took any pictures of what I got up to, but here’s a small collection of some great memories!
-
- Bsti took this photo of us in their garden before we left for the Tori Amos concert
-
- I LOVE Niq's dress - she had it made by a really talented designer on Etsy.
-
- Hurrying to get there! We were so excited!
-
- Arlene Schnitzer Hall

-
- Tori on Stage - Apart from when the lighs shone in our eyes, the lighting effects wwere FABULOUS!
-
- The crowd goes wild for Tori
-
- Tea Chai Te - Such delicious smells hit you as you walk into this place. Select your favourite cup from an apothecary of some of the world's rarest teas. I had something chocolatey with chillis. (Photo by Niqkita)

- Niq's freshly prepared Kava tea. Not the most delicious flavour, but it has certain otherworldy qualities ;) (Photo by Niqkita)

- Dinner Time! - One of the many delicious meals Niq prepared during my stay. (Photo by Niqkita)

- Princess Lola - Every day is like a day at the Spa for Lola (Photo by Niqkita)
-
- Me in Sushi Socks - I modelled these delicious socks for a Sock Dreams photo shoot and got to keep them! (Photo by Niqkita. Socks available at SockDreams.com)
-
- Laughing. I'm guessing this is what I really look like most of the time! (Photo sneakily taken by Niqkita)
-
- Evie and Me - This was my first time holding a snake, or in this case, being held. She didn't wan't to leave the awesome camoflaged safety-zone! (Photo by Niqkita)
-
- Evie and Me - We were both just waking up. Evie found it odd too, but in the end we liked it! (Photo by Niqkita)
-
- Up in a tree and me - YAY! It feels so great to be well enough to climb trees again!
-
- Me and Tree - Another photo shoot for Sock Dreams - sadly no cherry blossoms at this time of year. I ended up giving these ones to someone who wanted them badly (Photo by Niqkita).
-
- Looking Glass Bookstore - Not as small as it looks from the outside! An AMAZING store with a secret garden.
-
- A Small Apothecary - My budding collection of special herbs which will over time replace the conventional medicinal poisons in the cabinet. I spent about an hour in Limbo choosing from their HUGE selection. So much fun!

These photos are from the town my mom lives in, Ebensburg PA and Pittsburgh while the three of us couchsurfed away our Junetimes. Some of the cooler ones, if I may say so, are those of the old graveyard. When I was young, we lived on a farm and everyone within a 5 mile radius or so was related to us. It was a very old school, small farm kind of life and no fonder a memory do I have than riding BMX bikes through the dirt paths or making maps of the forests around the farm. While I was young, though, the cemetery was very overgrown and there were only really old gravestones, a handful of actual stones, mostly just wooden crosses mixed in with unmarked stones to indicate the death of a baby. The oldest marked stones dated back to the late 1800s, but no one had been laid to rest there in a few decades. It was this cool / tabboo area that no one really knew if we were allowed into or not, and was incredibly creepy. It’s spooky enough being out in endless fields and forests with stories of black bears and white vans, let alone add mossy old stones in a secret graveyard.
Eventually, my family cleaned it up when Uncle Alvie, who for some reason we all called Uncle Jed, died in a trucking accident. Later my grandparents were added when they passed on, and now it’s been completely resurrected as a well kept, beautiful piece of my ancestry, complete with a little grass path leading down from the old dirt road to Grandma’s.
