Exploring Washington’s Olympic Peninsula

November 14, 2017November 15, 2017 / Marshall / 6 Comments

September/October 2017

The seasons had rapidly changed. It was quickly becoming no fun to be at a higher elevation. It was time to get the heck out of Idaho and move on to the next destination. Continue reading →

I Camped in the Snow and I Liked it!

March 20, 2017 / Marshall / 2 Comments

Snow equals cold and I don’t like the cold. For me to say I camped in the snow and I like it is almost one of those “stop the presses!” moments. Seriously. Continue reading →

Taking One for the Team – Kingman, AZ

March 17, 2017March 17, 2017 / Marshall / 4 Comments

February 2017

Living on the road is pretty damn awesome. The freedom. Not having obnoxious neighbors you can’t escape. An ever changing backyard. Pretty great. You should try it (or not if you like the boring, status quo). Continue reading →

Leaf Peeping in Silverton, Colorado

January 8, 2017January 8, 2017 / Marshall / Leave a comment

September/October 2016

Silverton was the first place I stayed in Colorado so it seemed appropriate that it would be one of the last places I’d stay as my summer wrapped up. Continue reading →

Catching Up with Kelly – Bayfield, Colorado

January 4, 2017January 4, 2017 / Marshall / 2 Comments

August/September 2016

Kelly had been hanging out in Bayfield (just east of Durango) for a couple of months with a friend, but was itching to get back on the road. I headed down to Bayfield to hang with her a bit before we headed west. Continue reading →

Last night I returned to my home after spending 27 nights away from it. That’s the second longest stretch I’ve been away from my rig since I started full-timing almost 5 years ago. Yes, my bed did feel good.

My new home. 42 foot 5th wheel. 23,000 pounds. A bit of a step-up from my 24 foot Lance trailer checking in at 5,700 pounds. . . Oh, did I mention it’s just my home for the weekend? 🤓

I’ve been doing my best to soak up the ocean before heading back to the desert for much of the winter. While the desert tends to have better sunsets, it doesn’t have this. 🤨

My first career was as an aircraft mechanic, specializing in piston powered helicopters. My last job was as a technical representative for Robinson Helicopter, the largest helicopter manufacturer. I left the position (and got out of aviation) over 17 years ago and haven't been back since. That changed a few days ago when I visited and spent some time there. Much has changed over the last 17 years, including tripling of the factory size. What amazed me was how many people are still there that I knew back in the day. 20 years later. With my chosen lifestyle, the thought of being at the same place for 20+ years is something that makes me all 😳. I completely understand why people do it. It's just not for me. Another thing that I found interesting was how many people said that I had lost weight. 😂

A quarter of a century ago, in my early 20's I moved to SoCal and quickly moved to the beach cities of the South Bay. Today I spent some time exploring some of the areas that were the scene of so many events (some life altering) of my young adult life. I found the apartment my wife was living in when I met her. Went past the house I occupied with a couple of buddies. Walked around the pier area that was the scene of too many consumed beers. Memories flooded back as I wandered. Things I haven't thought about in years popped into my mind as if they just happened. It was a very weird and wonderful few hours.
