in my other life i was a dreamer, i wasn't very grounded, and when i grew up i wanted to be a nomadic pastoralist in kyrgyzstan. what most intrigued me about this profession was living in a yurt.
here i am, 10years later, and my dream is coming true!! david and i are taking a pretty big road trip, and we are going to be sleeping in yurts along the way. we are leaving saturday after i get off work and we're heading west--yep, that's right--toward the coast! once we get in the sight and smell of salty ocean air we're going to head north along the oregon coast. we plan on packing our camping stove, sleeping bags, and non-perishable food, and we'll sleep in yurts conveniently located 1/4 of a mile from the beach in various state parks along the way. during the day we will beach comb, whale watch, take a tour of the tillamook cheese factory, and eventually make it up to seattle, to visit my brother and sister-in-law. after a seafood fest in seattle we'll make the 12-hr trek to billings, mt to visit david's parents for a couple of days.
i can't believe all the good things we're getting next week--the ocean, seafood, family, and yurts!!

wow i didn't know about this yurt business! have fun and be safe! we'll see you soon.
Have fun! We can't wait to catch up a little with you guys. Oh, and there's a couple here who built a house based off of a yurt. It is pretty cool :)
Remember when you were telling Todd and I about Yurts and we had no idea what they were? Well last night I experienced a yurt. Dale had a work mtg at the yurt on top of the canyons ski resort. It was pretty cool I must say and I think you will enjoy your yurt experience as well!!! Have fun and be safe and we will see you when you get back:)
ah man, i was going to say that there was a family in powell that live in a yurt...but apparently "somone" beat me to it :) i hope that i get to be in billings to see you guys!!
There was a young girl in a yurt,
Who loved yoyos and a berry yogurt,
She put up a sign
That said, "Come, spend some time,"
Her first guest? A young man named Davi... um, Egbert!
Have fun and give me a repo... um, repurt!
