We had some rain last night. The van was ready to go in case it got heavy as we are parked in a “wash”. A wash is effectively a dry creek. We didn’t want to be like Alexander Supertramp (I think he was still Chris McCandless then) when he lost his car. The rain was…
He, hold on there buddy, you were going north. I know, I know. I’ll explain. Up at 0.4 Amps (~0700) because one of us did not close the bedroom widow and blinds on their side of the bedroom. Yup, it was me. But the breeze was nice! I decided to attempt the siphon draw again…
Not a lot to report today as we mostly stayed at the same park. We did take a trip into town when we changed campsites for the third time here. Nice thing is that the van makes it easy to move. No hooking up (the trailer to tow vehicle, come on, that term can mean…
Day 21. That is 3×7=21. That is 3 full weeks of this adventure. We are about 6500 km in. Still going strong. If baking in a tin can doesn’t ruin it, what would? Morning walk was fantastic! Since it was so hot I was on the trail by 0727. I intended to go up the…
Some years ago I went on a free range canoe camping trip with some wonderful friends and first born child. As with all canoe trips over several days, you tend to get a bit delirious by the end. We were staying at one of the expedition member’s cottage. On the final leg of the journey,…
There was a time, and a place. And today, this was the place to spend some time. Early wakeup cause we seem to still be on New Mexico time. Walk was relatively boring as I just did the grid of this luxury RV resort. Each section is 300 meters long and packed with millions of…
Great night sleep in Kertchner State Park. Up early so I could get my walk in before my 0900 cave tour. Morning walk was great. Did the Foothills loop trail intentionally. Did not get lost. Trail had some significant elevation changes and interesting substrate. But it was a really nice walk. Here are some views…
t’s a lovely day in the neighbourhood. Chilly and windy last night. Despite the fact the wind follows us everywhere, we had a nice walk around the campsite and toured the museum that is onsite. It was pretty cool seeing the old cars, plane and artifacts. There was even a big truck made my the…
Cold and windy last night. Still slept pretty well. One of us still refused to turn on the furnace but we had built up enough heat during the sunny day that it did not get as cold inside the van. The cup was not blue. The morning winds did make it feel colder than it…
How cold is it? Well, cold enough in that there van. It was 10.2 C inside when I rustled out of bed this morning. That’s not too bad. Mr. Ted says: “more clothes, less covers”. But Mr Ted, it’s 21 when we go sleepy time. It was so cold the memory foam mattress topper on…
