I use this blog as a journal: to document where we go, scenes from there, how I feel about certain places, yadda yadda. And I often scroll through the archives to find stuff. I keep feeling like there’s so much content here that’s lost among the long chronology of my entries. So I’m beginning to […]
Mojave Brewing and Mojave Hiking
To counter the downer of my last post about Las Vegas, here are some damned-near glorious experiences we’ve had here. Welcome Conversation At Mojave Brewing in nearby Henderson, we met up with this fun couple, Debbie and Paul, who were recommended to us by a mutual friend back in Maryland (Hi Bob!). It had been […]
Highway 61—Las Vegas Style
Rovin’ gambler, he was very bored,Tryin’ to create a next world war.He found a promoter who nearly fell off the floor.“I never did engage in this kind of thing before.But yeah, I think it can be very easily done. We’ll just put some bleachers out in the sun,Have it on Highway 61.” This is the […]
Pink Sofa Tiny House Finished!
We’re closer this week to Las Vegas in order to get civilized stuff done, but my impressions of the city haven’t formed well enough to post about it. So I’ll show off the pink tiny house in its entirety, woohoo! The Whole Shebang This one was, by far, my favorite to build. I’m getting the […]
Lost in the Valley of Fire?
We’re spending a week boondocking here northeast of Las Vegas, on BLM land out in the desert. Lots of RVs come and go around us, but, with the exception of one audacious #vanlifer who pulled through our campsite, between the truck and trailer, to get to the site next to us (that has its own […]
Pink Sofa Tiny House: Bedroom, Bath, Lighting
As this comes together, I’m loving it more. Here’s a link to the another sections of this house I’ve finished previously. Bedroom I don’t know where people are supposed to store their clothes, but who the heck cares. By the way, all the wiring for the lights are hidden under the headboard. . Bathroom These […]
Solace atop a Dry Wash
Last I left you, dear readers (I’ve always wanted to type that), we were scrambling for a place to stay near St. George, Utah, south of impending snow. I was feeling rundown with errands and problems and no exact direction. Not surprisingly, Tracy found us an exceptionally gorgeous campsite—and free—about an hour and a half […]
Death by Paper Cuts?
That’s an exaggeration—in both directions. We’re still loving this lifestyle (so, far from death), but we’ve faced more than just paper cuts lately. An older guy dumping his trailer tanks at the truck stop next to us was just hopping to tell me that he’s sold his house and bought this RV and is going to […]
Sketchy Dudes in Parks
We need to be near Salt Lake City for housekeeping-type stuff for a few days, and Tracy once again came through with an unusual camping spot for us. We’re on the other side of Utah Lake from the city, in a county park right on the lake. It’s isolated and beautiful, with a panoramic view […]
One Night at The Salt Flats
12 miles long. Five feet thick at the center. 147 million tons of salt. 90% table salt. Here’s where we parked on BLM land. Not a bad spot for sunrise. Banjo approved.
