Return to Grand Tetons

After spending two months in Moab, we were ready for a change of scenery. We’d been in the desert too long. Time to head north. Continue reading →

Visiting the National Parks Around Moab

October 16, 2017October 15, 2017 / Marshall / 2 Comments

There are a couple of National Parks within striking distance of Moab – Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. Though we definitely were not in tourist mode while staying in Moab, we did get a chance to check out both places. Continue reading →

Moab, Utah – As Beautiful As I Had Hoped

October 15, 2017 / Marshall / 5 Comments

March – May 2017

I’ve been hearing about Moab for years now, and have been looking forward to visiting for quite some time. Finally got the opportunity this spring, and it didn’t disappoint! Continue reading →

Natural Bridges National Monument

March 2017

While we were staying at the Valley of the Gods, Kelly and I made a day trip up to Natural Bridges National Monument. 45 miles away, the trip to the monument took us up and over the Moki Dugway again, and then along the top of Cedar Mesa to literally the middle of nowhere. Continue reading →

Valley of the Gods – Mexican Hat, Utah

March 2017

Apparently my neglect of my personal blog continues as I pour all my efforts and energy into our new project. I guess I think making money so I don’t have to move back in with my parents is more critical than keeping this blog up to date. Something tells me they might just agree with me! 😂 Continue reading →

Being out in the middle of nowhere means different thing to different people. To some it may mean just being outside of town. To others it means being in the middle of West Texas. One thing I think we can all agree on is driving 180 miles to pick up a package means you are pretty close to being in the middle of nowhere. That’s was yesterday’s “journey”. Tonight’s was by being joined by good friends Jen and Jesse ( @ontherogueus ) to watch the sunset from the dunes. I’m still in the middle of nowhere but I’m no longer by myself. 🤓
The other night I didn’t sleep well (shocker for those that know how “well” I sleep 🙄). Couldn’t concentrate at work so after a short conversation with my boss, I took the day off and played tourist. Ended up at this gem of a find off Route 66. Hiked to the top, walked the rim, contemplated the fate of the Universe. Ok, did 2 of the 3.
Other than a couple of in-transit overnighters, I haven't camped alone since June 2018. This week I'm getting some 'me' time after spending a few weeks being uber-social in the Las Vegas area. Looking forward to some solitude before getting back at it next week for a nomadic Friendsgiving get together. In the meantime, I'll be right here. A 'new to me' place that so far is proving to be the right choice.
I don't think I've dealt with an iced up vehicle since I was a teenager. So, yeah, it's been a while. . One of the advantages of having a house on wheels is that you don't have to deal with this stuff unless it turns you on. It definitely doesn't do anything for me, but I'm unable to head south quite yet. Soon. Very, very soon. . What sign do you take it's time to move to warmer weather? Or are you one of those people that enjoys cold, biting wind and iced up vehicles?
The great thing about this lifestyle is choices. Some people like the space of a large rig. Some people, like myself, are looking to downsize to a small, nimble rig that can fit just about anywhere. . Another cool thing about this lifestyle is learning how little one really needs in terms of material possessions. I have far less now then when I first launched in 2014. But not everyone does well with so little. For some it’s an ongoing quest to figure out where to stash all the things. . This is a new one for me. Never have I seen a coffin storage unit on top of a fifth wheel. A rig that has massive amounts of basement and interior storage compared to what I have. 🤷🏻‍♂️
The things you find while traveling across the country. This one was an unexpected surprise directly across the street from the overnight spot. You Millennials probably don’t have a clue who he is/was. 😯😬🤷🏻‍♂️
