Taking the Road Less Traveled

Tuesday 2/13 Weather doesn’t look good in Austin or the gulf. I’ve decided to head back to Big Bend area. I’m a couple hundred miles from Austin or the gulf. No sense fighting wind and rain all the way there and then after i get there….Talked to Uncle J this morning, told him i would…

Monday 2/12 Just cold this morning, 38. Pretty much ready to go last night before bedtime. Went out and took care of the outside stuff, started Bill and idled out of there. Going to try Governor’s Island CG. First, need to see about getting the schooner some water. I find the dump station and get…

Sunday 2/11 Woke up to a foggy misty morning. High 30’s. Didn’t get up till 8. Not going anywhere today really, so if it stays like this it will be a stoner day. Got lil buddy out and fired him up. 56 in the schooner. I want to go out and walk but i don’t…

Saturday 2/10 Gosh i like it when i go to bed at 9:30 and wake up at 5:00am. Unhook the CPAP and snooze for another hour or two. Not much to breaking down, although by the amount of dishes i generated last night you would of thought there was a party. My Whirlybird Popper has…

Friday 2/9 Thought today was Thursday. Not that it matters. Enjoyed the early morning at PC3. Took some more pictures and slowly started the 4 miles out. No problem, just slow, suited me this morning. Not everyone was as pokey as me because before i know it i got a dust driver behind me. Really,…

Thursday 2/8 Well i went to sleep last night thinking I’d get a walk or bike ride in today. Ahh, not much. Did get the bike fully operational. Used the new 12v pump to pump the tires up after futzing with the hand pump. I think a part has vibrated off my bike hand pump…

Enough bandwidth to post but not to load pics or vid-heading back out- no coverage will update in a couple of days. Updated 2/10. Wednesday 2/7 No sense in a early start this morning, ranger station doesn’t open till 8. This CG is high up in a valley and this morning the fog was creeping…

Tuesday 2/6 Late neighbors, setting up by flashlight last night. #35 will work. I’ll just sleep with no CPAP for a couple of nights. With a Portable solar charger, running the generator would be a non issue. Have you ever hear them? Solar chargers that is? Quiet! Up early, a little cloudy, mid 50’s. Walk…

Monday 2/5 Nice CG but had some young fellows playing tribal drums till late camped close. Like a Walmart parking lot this morning, rigs everywhere. I lost my new ss water bottle. After lunch at the teepees yesterday, i left with the back door of the schooner open. Everything was put away but the bottle.…

  Sunday 2/4 A very nice spot at Arenosa Primitive Camping area. Only schooner in the CG. Got up this morning and putted around. Domestic house chores. It’s a small area and everything needs it’s place. I think i have a small leak on the water system. I think behind the new toilet. It’s a…
