How about some views of the Continental Divide as it runs thru southwest New Mexico – but this time during monsoon season?!?!? Your wish is my command… This year we had a really fantastic monsoon season with lots of rain. That six weeks of rain really transforms the high desert!! I wish the video really… [Read More]
Shooting the stars!
There has been so much going on lately that I don’t know where to start… I’ll just share some recent results of something new that I’ve been working on – astrophotography! Otherwise known as shooting the stars or wandering around in the dark with a camera taking photographs! 🙂 Photography is certainly a very challenging… [Read More]
Fencing Trip
No… sorry… not fencing like sword-fighting. Fencing like barbed wire fencing. The snow is gone from the continental divide and I flew into Bendit last weekend to check the road and area. It all looked clear and dry so this past weekend, I loaded a whole mess of fence posts, a couple big 3″ square… [Read More]
Septic System is DONE!
The bachelor pad has a brand spanking new septic system!! Another item off the list! The fella’s showed up the day they said they would and had the work completed in two days – as promised. I was originally told that I needed an “ATS” system (expensive) due to new regulations. However; shortly before the… [Read More]
It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!
I think I have mentioned that it has been cool way up here on the Continental Divide. A couple days ago, I woke up to this sight! Where are the Christmas decorations! I took those photos before sunrise so the lighting is not the best. Sorry about that… It went away pretty quickly but the… [Read More]
RV Holding Tanks vs Composting Toilet
The motorhome/RV “sewage” topic – particularly composting toilets vs holding tanks – seems to garner a lot of interest. It has been beaten to death and it is one of those topics that elicits a lot of passionate opinions. It is almost dangerous to respond to the topic on an Internet forum. I figured I’d… [Read More]
Amazonian Warriors, Hobbits, or Gold??
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. Just as I took the following photo… I knew I was in trouble… I could tell that a wild animal… [Read More]
Tracking Down an Oil Leak??
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]
Anasazi Indian Cliff Dwelling
While in Blanding, Utah, I did some hiking to the ruins of an Anasazi Indian cliff dwelling. It is truly fascinating to see where these people lived and to imagine what the area must have looked like with the cliff dwelling in full operation more than a thousand years ago. The cliff forms a natural… [Read More]
Neato Rocks
I realize that rocks are not the most interesting things to most people. So, I try not to post too many photos of them. I think maybe I should have been a geologist as I find them very interesting. Here are a few examples from around Navajo Lake in the northwest corner of New Mexico…. [Read More]
