The last month has had me busy searching for a winter “home”. Owning an airplane has dramatically changed my “simple” life and I knew that staying in Carson City was not an option (it get’s cold and white there!). A big part of finding a winter home was finding a hangar for the plane. I… [Read More]
How to get stuck?? In a Bus??
One of my highest priorities when poking Missy into remote locations is to avoid getting stuck. Recently, I failed… miserably… I was REALLY hoping to never find out how much one of those really big tow trucks cost. Now I know. Trust me, they are NOT cheap. How did it happen?? Well, I pulled onto… [Read More]
The Wonders of a Cold Shower
I had two friends visit me a weekend or two ago. Both of these fellows are hearty enough but, sadly, fairly domesticated. I had almost forgotten what it was like… The shower in Missy is plenty “usable.” However; when boondocking, there is no hot water. This is because I just haven’t gotten any further in… [Read More]
Lake – Tahoe and Lahontan
Not a lot of news to report… OH WAIT!! There is news! TODAY IS MY MOM’S BIRTHDAY!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!! I took a few sunset photos last night of my current beach camping spot at Lahontan State Recreation Area near Silver Springs, NV. The leaves on the trees are a nice gold color so clearly… [Read More]
Not Dry Lake Bed and Lots of Flying Fun
This past weekend I made a trip out to the Dead Cow dry lake bed for the High Sierra Fly-In. This is close to Herlong, CA. What a busy weekend! A significant cold front was due to pass thru the area on Thursday night and it sure did! The wind was howling all night. I… [Read More]
Nevada Boondocking
Someone told me recently that Nevada is 85% public land – such as that managed by the BLM and Forest Service. I didn’t check out the information but from what I’ve seen, it isn’t terribly wrong. I’m currently located on a nice big chunk of BLM managed land near the Carson River and Silver Springs,… [Read More]
Mirrored Medicine Cabinet
A nice two-door, mirrored medicine cabinet showed up at my door a couple months ago. I didn’t do anything with it as I was so busy on other things. Well… not entirely true. I did have time to crack the mirror on one of the doors. Other than that, I didn’t do anything. As with… [Read More]
Cold? Or just not Hot?
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]
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]
Forest Views
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]
