Operation Mini-van rescue

Sunday afternoon I flew out of Denver International into Phoenix International where I was picked up by my sister and bro-in-law. They dropped me off at the mini-van where we hugged and parted ways, and I began the 950 mile drive back into Colorado. This evening at 5PM I arrived...

I’m loving the Moose-Poker

I hadn’t played poker since 2005, but 4 weeks ago I finished fourth (1 place out of a money payout) in the bi-weekly poker tournament at the local Moose lodge. Two weeks ago I won the tournament taking home almost $270. This week, I won it again for another $180...

Ants in my pants

Two full months! Two full months since re-arriving back in my home town and I’m dying just sitting here. I read other people’s blogs and all the adventures they are having and I feel like I am missing out. I desperately need to get on the road again! Luckily, today...

How things change

Not even one month ago I was waiting for the snow to clear to begin doing some outdoor activities; hiking, biking, etc… and now, this week, the weather has taken a new approach to keep me indoors and fat. It’s 85 degrees here! I know, to anyone that lives at...

5 days?

What happened? Did I fall into a coma? Five days have passed since my last post and I honestly do not know where they went. I know I worked on the trailer rebuild a bit on Friday… then woke up this morning. What the heck? To make matters worse, we...

Trapped in Colorado

It has been nearly one full month since I arrived back in Colorado and since then I have had few adventures. Between spending time with Timmy and the repeated snow storms, I haven’t been able to get out on too many trails for biking or hiking. I have a list...

180 days

Today is my 6-month anniversary of being a full-time van dweller. To the rest of the world, that means I am homeless, but to me it means I am home no matter where I decide to turn the engine off. It is somewhat of a challenge to me… to stay...

Officially a Moose 1

Officially a Moose

My membership card came in today along with an invitation to attend my orientation and first membership meeting this Thursday. Knowing that my Grand Father was once a Moose makes it a little more of a big-deal to me. I wonder if I get some antlers ;)

A little frosting makes everything better

I slept so comfortably last night that when I woke this morning I had no clue I was covered in frosting. The interior of the van never dipped below mid 30’s overnight, which is sleeping-in-my-skimpies kind of weather.  Immediately after snapping this image, I opened the river’s door allowing all...

Still a resident of Colorado

I know, I know. This is the 3rd year now that I’ve said I will setup residence in South Dakota and once again I took the easy way out. I blame it on the Datsun though, it isn’t my fault… I swear! All the work that it takes to setup...
