Taking the Road Less Traveled

A nice clear morning. Sunny and calm. I got my crocs full of mud yesterday when I walked down to the water. I used my welcome mat to clean the bottoms and now need to clean the mat. I got my bucket out and looked for a spigot. The showers were right there and I…

Nice fresh morning after stormy night. Up at 6:30am and rollin by 7:09am. Not much traffic yet. Lots of Border Patrol. Pleasant drive north for 70-80 miles to Interstate 8. Not a bad Interstate as Interstates go. Get side tracked to a petroglyph site and campground. Tried to parallel the freeway but it didn’t work…

Still raining this morning. The wind can be gusty and shake the schooner. Left the table window open an 1″ and everything in that area got soaked. Big puddle. Other than that, so far, no leaks. Rained hard off and on past lunch. Finally let up a bit. Put my full rain gear on and…

Rollin by 6:30am this morning. It takes 30 minutes to come in towards town and then 15 minutes to get to town. But no buses. Cloudy and dark down towards the southwest. Hmmm. Hit Interstate 10 and head west. Just skirt south of Tucson and hit US86. Goes mainly thru reservation for 100 miles.  …

Beautiful day. Mid 70’s, some clouds. Just hung out this morning and after lunch walked up the road and got some coverage and got a couple of audio books downloaded. Gave the inside of the schooner a shining and some rearranging. You would think after all this time everything would have it’s spot but I’m…

In no hurry this morning. Finally start rolling about ten. The plan is to park and bike around Safford. There’s a bike path by the golf course and I plan on parking there. Never got the bike down! Hit a bucket, putted and rode eighteen. Had a Safety meeting on the course! Didn’t keep score.…

Another quiet day. Reading, napping, cleaning and before you know it’s five o’clock. I need to download a couple of audio books but you need internet. Reading another LaAmour western and just finished a audio book by him. Still involved with G RR Martin but sometimes you need a break from sword fights. Going try…

Starting my tenth week on the road tomorrow. You ever wish for a 10 week vacation? I have. This day has nothing special. Not driving anywhere and the walks can be of varies lengths. Quietly get the solar going and give the stovetop a through cleaning. Read a little, walked a little and took some…

Safford day today. Laundry, golf course, market. I have a big bag of laundry plus my linen. One laundromat in town. It’s big and clean. Big 5-load washers and they use a debit card! Sweet, I won’t have to use my quarters. Except they don’t take debit cards but a special “money card”. Which I…

  I like this campground! Gila Bend Riparian Conservation Area. Lots of little trails going to different areas. A day use area by the river, a memorial To Lt. Kearney and a old homestead. Not much wind today. A walk in the morning and a walk in the afternoon. Facetimed Harper when she got off…
