Wynword Press loves deep literature!   We focus on a few, high-quality titles rather than diffusing our efforts across many titles.  Each title is a book we truly believe in...each of our books has something to offer in addition to a good read.  Whether it's from a best-selling author or a relative unknown, you'll find something here to inspire you, grow you and entertain you.

Farewell Bend

December 31, 2016  /  Wynword Press

We left in October this year, and, with our usual lightning speed, travelled the 450 miles to Boise in three days.  We stayed at the Farewell Bend state park on the Snake river near Ontario, ID. Or Is it in Ontario, Oregon? 

The most interesting thing about Ontario is that it is the home of the Ore-Ida potato factory, where they synthesize potatoes and chip them up into little flakes to make boxed mash potatoes, etc. We ‘toured’ this factory, with great interest, from the freeway as we raced past at 55 mph. That was enough of the Ore-Ida potato factory. 

As a side note, Ore-Ida potato flakes make excellent ‘snow’ on the Christmas tree.  You can mix them with water if you want them to stick to the branches.

Farewell Bend is quite nice, and we stayed there for three days.

This is my home in northern Idaho in June. We hung out here for four months this summer until it started to get cold, and then we fled for more temperate climes. Of course, it's now all buried under 2 feet of snow, but I'm not there so it doesn't upset me.

I've posted this so that those of you who are living in suburbia can get all envious. You may have modern conveniences such as fire hydrants, sidewalks, and paved roads, but we have lovely clouds.

Additional Staff

December 29, 2016  /  Wynword Press

In June, I took on an additional staff member, an Associate Navigator by the name of Shadow.  He looks nice and normal, right?  Negative. He is a maniac. Not the kind of maniac that jumps happily around knocking people over; the kind of maniac who guards his food against his own body parts. Below are some lovely images of Shadow's handiwork. The blood spattered all over the RV resulted from him catching his tail and ripping it open. The bites, of which I've suffered 15 since June, happened when I tried to stop him in the middle of a psychotic episode. The Vagabond Tourist is a family-oriented site, and I should warn you that the gallery contains elements of graphic violence, not suitable for the youngsters.

Vagabond Tourist Has Moved!!

December 29, 2016  /  Wynword Press

Aren't we all excited? And if we aren't, shouldn't we be? 

Here are the beautiful pelicans at the Salton Sea from VT's old Facebook page. The Salton Sea has many beauties: 1) pelicans, 2) other birds, 3) nice view of mountains across the lake, 4) heaps of jagged dead fish bones cluttering the shore...Oh wait. Maybe that doesn't qualify as a beauty.

I advise you to wear stout shoes when visiting the Salton Sea, because it's not the sort of place where one can caper happily across the beach, playing volleyball and such like. Unless you want your feet shredded.
