This morning I woke to snow… not a lot, just a dusting but snow none the less. I believe this is my first snow since leaving Colorado in October. In fact, only a few occasions in the past 3 months have I even had to worry about below-freezing temperatures. Staying...
From New Year’s eve in the desert near Havasuu City to the greater Phoenix area, national forests and parks, state parks, and truck stops… I’ve seen a lot of what Arizona has to offer during my month of January in Arizona. I have even followed along much of old Route...
This past Sunday marked my 100th day on the road (again). Although I have been technically Full-Timing since December of 2011, I have not lived exclusively out of the van that entire time. I’ve stayed with family in California a few weeks here and there and even lived with my...
Last night I pulled off the Interstate just before reaching Camp Verde, AZ. I really just did not want to spend a night in civilization, so took an exit (exit 278) in the middle of the National Forest to park off a dirt road somewhere. After about 1 mile, and...
I arrived at a Walmart in North Tucson yesterday to meet up with a potential buyer for the trailer. While the sale did not go through, I had complied quite a list of items I needed from Walmart anyway. So, after a good night’s sleep I went in to use...
After finally leaving the Lake Havasu area I arrived at my sisters place to dog-sit while they flew off to California for the weekend. I took this time to get in some gym time, visit Cabella’s to pickup a few shooting accessories and just generally rest… although I’m not feeling...
Since I arrived in the Havasu City area last year (Dec 30th, 2012), I’ve done little in terms of miles driven. Quite literally there at 60 miles on my trip odometer and I reset that when I refueled, 20 miles north of Havasu City. I’ve kept it simple; camping in...
One year ago today, December 28th 2011, I left what was my ‘home’ and started living on the road. While I have spent numerous months living in a house during this year, I have not really set down any roots anywhere, with my longest stay anywhere being about 3 months....
On October 27th, my Mother and I took off on our third big traveling adventure. Today, we returned back to her home in California after driving more than 4500 miles through five different states over a 40-day period. We camped above Mono Lake, bathed in natural hot springs, drove over...
Well, we finally made it out of Texas… Thank GAWD! Texas is an odd-ball state with some very odd behavior and I don’t think the Texans mind that they are different folk than the rest of the USA. Firstly, Texans can not be confined… just ask Mexico. Paint a line...
