Utah Sunset

October 27, 2016

Carbon Cub airplane LSA E-LSA Utah

I’m currently residing near Blanding, UT and experiencing some wonderful light shows! These photos were of last night’s sunset. I also happened to grab a photo of friends, Mike and Jan, returning from their days adventure in the Utah backcountry. <

The Hunted… and almost the eaten!

October 20, 2016

Hunted deer baby camping forest

I had the pleasure of watching a small group of deer over the course of the last week. This little group spent a lot of time where I was camped in the Gunnison National Forest.  It is harder to tell from the photos than in real life but it was a Mamma and two babies. … [Read More]

This morning I woke up in a new location and to another spectacular sunrise!!  Flaming red this time! Can you guess where I am?? A little later in the morning… my spot on the point above the lake!

Beautiful Mountains of Southern Colorado

I am spending this week high in the Sawatch mountains of southern Colorado!  God is putting on a spectacular show for me! I am not far from Salida, CO on BLM managed land and am up at about 8,100′ of altitude.  The overnight lows are still very comfortable but one can feel that winter is not… [Read More]

Amazing Stars in the Night Sky

September 12, 2016

Stars Night Sky Stargazing Camping Milky Way

The stars were out this past week and they were spectacular!! I am currently in northern New Mexico many miles from any town with enough size to create any light noise. Plus, there is no moon this week – at least not during in the very early morning hours. This resulted in an amazing night… [Read More]

DIY Tote Bags

April 14, 2016

DIY Tote Bag Dacron Sailcloth Sailrite groceries

I’m a pretty slow dude. The plastic bags that you get when shopping have annoyed me for years but I never did anything about it (except complain). I just keep hauling all those plastic sacks back to the Walmart plastic recycle box (which I always feared was just dumped into the trash bin). Possibly worth noting,… [Read More]

Sunset

Newmar Dutch Star Lake Havasu Arizona camping craggy wash

We had a really fantastic sunset a couple nights ago here in the Lake Havasu, AZ area. These pictures don’t do it justice!

Noise??

September 14, 2015

Dutch Star Steering Wheel Noise Air Horn

I’m the one constantly harping on people about making noise!!  I love nature and the peace and quiet that it offers.  I really don’t like generators, loud conversations, loud music, loud televisions, dogs barking – anything that makes noise that isn’t natural.  Waves lapping the shoreline, a breeze blowing thru the trees, birds chirping –… [Read More]

Is solar power for you?

September 11, 2015

solar panel charging system photovoltaic RV Missy 1998 MCI 102-EL3 coach bus

The topic of solar power on an RV comes up very regularly. Instead of repeating the same thing over and over, I thought perhaps documenting it might be helpful and consume less of my time. I am most certainly not the sole source of this information – this same information is all over the Internet… [Read More]

Clark Canyon Reservoir – Part 3

September 10, 2015

I’ve been back at the Clark Canyon Reservoir south of Dillon, MT for the last week and a half. This is the same area that I visited back in June (here and here). Once again, it has proven to be a really great spot. This time, I setup at the Cameahwait campground. There are two… [Read More]
