WINTER STORM WARNING

We have decided to merge both our travel blog (lifeinatravco.com) and our Un Petit Monde blog. I have been procrastinating the merger of the two blogs as I didn't want to confuse our art with our life, which is pretty much the same thing.  More on that later...

Edwige and I left Minnesota yesterday for Death Valley National Park. We mapped a course through South Dakota hoping to shoot the miniatures in the Badlands and at the Minuteman Missile Museum. That didn't work out so well. I'm sitting in a cafe at Wall Drug writing this blog as Edwige plots our next move. It seems we'll be stuck with very cold and snowy conditions whichever direction we choose. 

Our sleeping bag is rated for temperatures as low as 0 Degrees (fahrenheit), which will be put to the test tonight. My primary concern is our food. We should be cozy enough but not all of our food fares well being frozen. In fact, the food in our Yeti cooler is probably 30 degrees warmer than the food at the back of our van! 

It's shaping up to be another exciting adventure! As soon as the frigid cold and wind subsides a little, I'll get to photographing the miniatures again.
