Missy bus boys Mt. Taylor New Mexico Grants boondocking forest

This week we are back to the forest. This time near Grants, NM way up high on Mt. Taylor at about 8,000 feet.  I hate to use the word “cold” but… The overnight low has been near 50 degrees the last few nights. As you might guess, Woody and Buzz have been real snugglers with… [Read More]

After sealing all the grout and installing the faucet/shower head, my waterless shower is no longer waterless! Note from JD: The earlier shower construction posts are here and here.

I am currently in New Mexico. One might ask, why are you in New Mexico in September?  Isn’t that still kind of hot? Well, I’m glad you asked! Yes, it is kind of hot. The weather guessers say it is only in the low 90’s each day but sitting out in the sun with Missy… [Read More]

More shower progress! Some earlier work here. I’ve seen the waterless showers on Star Trek and other sci-fi films and now I have one!! Putting up the wall tile…  By the way, some of my photos of the wall tile make it look really crazy.  It really isn’t all that crazy, trust me. Grouting the… [Read More]

Bathroom Heated Tile Floor

Missy Tile Floor Bathroom Shower Schluter Ditra heated floor

With the help of my interior design consultants, the decision was made to go with a tile floor for bathroom and shower floor.  Of course, picking out the colors was the hardest decision – at least for me!  Good thing I had help.

A HUGE thank you to my friends Dave, Les, Mike, and John! Thanks to them, the new Kenmore combination clothes washer dryer is in the coach!

A bit of progress to report! I’ve been working away on the shower. Wait… that kind of implies that I have been consistently and diligently working on it. That is not true….

Twas a wonderful day in the neighborhood today! However; it has rained every afternoon this week.  Just a quick thunderstorm passing thru but I quickly learned to get my hike in before the storm arrived.

Boondocking camping Gunnison National Forest Colorado Mountains Missy MCI bus conversion flowers

I guess today is mostly a photo bomb.  I’ve been taking a hike or a mountain bike ride thru the forest every day since I’ve been here. I took these photos while hiking. If you look REALLY closely at the following photo, you can see the pack of starving wolves.  They approached me, clearly in attack… [Read More]
