    Sedona and around the place

    I’m camping for free on BLM land near Sedona. It’s indescribably beautiful. The drive here over highway 89A from Prescott was crazy, crazy fun and steeeeep: Elevation climb of about 2500 ft. (760 m) in about 10 miles (16 km) with switchbacks, blind corners, and I was towing my trailer – whooooohooo! I camped at…

  • Still in the desert, still loving it

    Still in the desert, still loving it

    I wish I could post more often and I could if only I weren’t so concerned about the colors, contrast, etc. on this little baby laptop – I hope these aren’t cartoonish colors or anything too dull. Whatever. Here’s what I’ve been up to in a nutshell: I’m really taking to dry camping, with just…

  • My Bird Post – Whitewater Draw, Arizona

    My Bird Post – Whitewater Draw, Arizona

    I’m finally able to post, thanks to Starbucks! I’ve been camping with about a zillion other people in the desert in Quartzsite, Arizona with no electricity, so it’s pretty much impossible to charge my battery more than just enough to do my (paid) work each day. Having a great time here, meeting many other RVers,…

  • Untitled post 2248

    Have to post quickly but want to tell you that this is around Deming, New Mexico. I’m staying in a beautiful campground with a view of the Florida Mountains out my window and the brightest stars ever in the sky. This is only about 30 miles from Mexico – a big group of us went…

  • Icy West Texas

    Icy West Texas

    It was cold, cold, cold in my little tin can! But look how beautiful. Now I’m in New Mexico where it’s much warmer and also filled with amazing landscape. Will post some photos from there in a minute or two – if I don’t get interrupted. This is a rush job because I need to…

  • Nature in West Texas

    Nature in West Texas

    These are from my walks in Fredericksburg and Midland. Midland is serious urban sprawl, but there is a beautiful nature preserve that’s very diverse, with desert plants, a marsh, and lots of birds. First time in a long, long while that I’ve spent so much time editing photos! (It was fun)

  • Fredericksburg, Texas

    Fredericksburg, Texas

    Well, I’m still in Texas. It’s a big state! This little town felt like the Christmas center of Texas as far as merry shoppers, wine tasting, lights, and even ice skating (in 70-degree weather) goes. I camped at a place called Lady Bird park, where there was a great trail with cactuses and turtles. I’ll…

  • San Antonio

    San Antonio

    I pulled into San Antonio last night – It snowed! I was freezing all night, brrrr. KOA campgrounds are crazy expensive, but it was nice to stay so near to downtown. And what a beautiful city it is! The Riverwalk and the Alamo were all they’re described to be. It was festive not only because…

  • Dog show! (and long time no post)

    Dog show! (and long time no post)

    I’m posting very quickly now because I’m trying to leave Paris, Texas for my next stop in Southern Texas. Since I last posted in Wyoming, I’ve been through Colorado, Kansas, and Oklahoma, ending up at a small farm outside Paris, TX at a friend’s place. I was able to get amazingly cheap tickets from Dallas…

  • Chugwater, WY -> Wichita, Kansas

    Chugwater, WY -> Wichita, Kansas

    The pictures from Chugwater, with the soda fountain, are from two days ago when a windstorm kept me in a rest area for 24 hours (I wrote about this last post). From Chugwater, I drove quickly through Colorado, and then on to Goodland, Kansas, where the Van Gogh tribute painting is. From there, I drove…

  • Wheatland, Wyoming and the trip to Goodland, Kansas

    Wheatland, Wyoming and the trip to Goodland, Kansas

    I haven’t been able to post anything because I got caught in the scariest ever (for me) wind storm after I left Wheatland. I only drove a little more than 20 miles when the big, neon road signs warned of heavy wind gusts. After the trailer got a couple of side gusts, I decided it…

  • Wheatland, Wyoming

    Wheatland, Wyoming

    I found a free campground with free electricity in a sweet little town near the freeway. The highlight of my day today was meeting two local women at the nearby pool where I thought I could shower, but the pool is unfortunately closed for the winter. I got lots of tips from them about future…

  • Various Yellowstone Hot Springs

    Various Yellowstone Hot Springs

    There are many more photos from Yellowstone that I want to post, but have to get out of Thermopolis – running past checkout time!

  • Banff / Fort McLeod / Northern Montana

    Banff / Fort McLeod / Northern Montana

    I left Banff to snow and freezing temperatures. I was really afraid I was going to run out of propane and not have heat, so as much as I would’ve liked to stay and explore, it was clearly time to move on. I was so tired of being cold that I stopped in Fort McLeod to…
