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!
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]
Hiking… without a bike???
Today I tried something different. Instead of going for a bike ride on the Colorado Trail, I went hiking instead. It actually turned out to be very enjoyable! Hiking the steep, rocky climbs were so much easier without having to push a 30 pound bicycle up the hill!! I know… I know…. I am supposed… [Read More]

Winter?? In the Rocky Mountains!?!?! I suppose it is possible…. I am high in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado and the nights are getting downright cool!

I am providing my system information and cost to give the folks that are curious about this another data point and possibly… [Read More]
Amazing Stars in the Night Sky
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]
More Sunsets
Arizona certainly has had some beautiful sunsets lately. And a quick picture of my Buddy doing what he does so well!
What a Drive
This past weekend I relocated “home” from the Flaming Gorge Recreation Area (very near Manila, UT) to the McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area (Rabbit Valley) a few miles northwest of Grand Junction, Colorado – right on the Utah state line. The Flaming Gorge area is spectacular – I loved every sight. Another amazing little tidbit… [Read More]
Noise??
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]
