Alergies will be the death of me

Over this past week I have been feeling terrible. A few days ago I thought I may be coming down with that Flu that has been going around (damn you Rod!) but this morning I figured it to be my allergies. This happened a few years back while in Arizona...

Flying North 0

Flying North

I am officially heading north as of today. I made up my mind late last night to drive on over hanging around the Phoenix area another week. It may be a little early to start thinking about sleeping in the overnight Colorado temperatures, but it will be another 4-5 weeks...

Snow-birding it… in the snow 1

Snow-birding it… in the snow

My second snow of the year, and it happens in the middle of the desert. I joked yesterday that it may get down to the high 30’s due to this storm, and last night it dropped down to a chilly 49 in the van, but today the weather lived up...

Purifying my van-funk

Over the course of the past few months, living full-time in a small confined space like my van, it has become apparent that I was in need of some way to ‘purify’ the air in here. First and foremost, I am a man… and just like any guy, all alone,...

Insomnia

Zig-zagging Arizona, revisiting McCarrell Ranch

After leaving the Granite Gap BLM area I traveled south-west into Douglas, AZ where I restocked and stayed the night at the local Walmart. As I was nearing town it was clear as day to see that invisible line that is drawn across the desert. One side Douglas Arizona with...

Back in Deming, NM 0

Back in Deming, NM

I arrived in Deming on Thursday, two days ahead of schedule thanks to a lack of places I was willing to camp in the 100 miles between Truth or Consequences and here. I figure, since I drove the extra miles on Thursday, that just meant I had to sit still...

Curves in all the right places

Yesterday I left the comforts of my first RV park of the year, after staying for 5 nights. I am back on the road to continue my exploring of the New Mexico countryside at my horse’s pace. After a quick stop into Walmart to get some photos printed out for...
