Well, well, well here is a blog post! I haven’t posted anything since I’ve lived in Colorado, so here’s what’s happened: I live here on the Western Slope with the nice man I met mentioned a while back. I’ve sold my trailer (!), but we’ve bought a new one together. So it’s time for the… Continue reading To and home from Moab

  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… Continue reading Sedona and around the place

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… Continue reading Still in the desert, still loving it

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,… Continue reading My Bird Post – Whitewater Draw, Arizona

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… Continue reading Untitled

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)

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… Continue reading Fredericksburg, Texas

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… Continue reading San Antonio

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… Continue reading Chugwater, WY -> Wichita, 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… Continue reading Wheatland, Wyoming and the trip to Goodland, Kansas

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… Continue reading Wheatland, Wyoming

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

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… Continue reading Banff / Fort McLeod / Northern Montana
