Colorado Springs and now

July 31, 2017

Gunnison National Forest Colorado Mountains Missy Boondocking bus conversion

I spent last week in Colorado Springs, CO visiting two of my boys. The visit was fantastic!  The leaving seems to get more and more difficult.  Sure was great to see them and get caught up on their lives. I decided last week that it was time to get a roommate.  The boys and I… [Read More]

July 24, 2017

Medicine Bow Missy bus coach sky clouds thunderstorm

I think I’ve previously mentioned that I have (had??) an oil leak on the passenger side of the engine compartment. One shop looked at it and they thought they had found a loose power steering hose connection that was the source. I drove it a few hundred miles and it seemed “better”. Of course, I… [Read More]

Thunderstorm

Not a tremendous amount going on this week. A number of storms have blown thru. Some of them have brought some serious wind. It seems that Missy is not prone to rolling over in “high” winds – not to be confused with tornado or hurricane force wind. 🙂 I had a super great visit from… [Read More]

Missy MCI bus conversion heat crossing race beat Vedauwoo Campground Wyoming

The Great Crossing was a success!  It was a race to beat the heat! However; it did not go exactly to plan. The 104 degree forecast for the campground near Platte, SD caused me to cancel my reservations and make this a marathon trip.  I am not much for heat – mix it with humidity… [Read More]

Review: Cottonwood RV Park Bluff Utah

November 4, 2016

Cottonwood RV Park Bluff Utah Newmar Dutch Star

I made a quick stop at the Cottonwood RV Park while passing thru Bluff Utah late in October and found a very nice establishment! Nancy is the operator and is very nice and welcoming. The park itself is well suited for big rigs and the pull thru spots are spacious and very easy to get… [Read More]
