Taking the Road Less Traveled

Saturday 2/3 I sweated last night. The expected low was 27, so i bundled up. At 7 CST this morning 52. Not complaining. Had tenters next to me last night. A young overweight (not making judgement just describing) couple from Texas. Normally, no one ever comes out of their RV so I have the whole…

Friday 2/2 I really like the table setup. The most functional thing i have done to the schooner. I,ahh,i’m not capitalizing i anymore as you will see. Guadalupe NP, cold. Just used it as a overnight spot. Last time i was down here in the green snail it was November. Warmer then. I did not…

Thursday 2/1 A colorful sunrise on the desert. A hint of a chill. Daylight comes fast here. I took a shower last night! This is a nice little CG. If there was something to do I would of stayed awhile. The border is about 1/2 mile away. No hikes, no historical other than right here.…

Wednesday 1/31 Up early, have coffee. Get all situated and damn, the tire is low. I could change a tire IF I really had to, but not high on my list. I should get my nice 12v compressor and…oh that’s right, one of those things I didn’t get accomplished before I left. Ooookay, the tire…

Tuesday 1/30 Cochise Stronghold CG did not get the attention it deserved. I pulled in late after the problem with Bill. (SideNote; I just had it in to Gomer’s before i left and they had to remove that stuff to do what they did. SHAME on me for not looking under the hood!) Mentally tired…

Monday 1/29 Early to bed, early to rise. I finished watching the cowboy movie last night. Free Range, Open Range something like that. It’s no “Dances with Wolves” but it’s a new twist to my evenings. I got “Lonesome Dove” in now. Made popcorn in my new Whirlypop popcorn maker on the stovetop. Pretty simple,…

Sunday 1/28 Did I show everyone the new table mount? It has made the dinette into a nice lounging/work/eat/watch movie area. New foam mattress also. So far I’ve slept better than at home. I have three picture frames w/ 3 slots in each for pictures. I have one filled up and will fill another when…

Saturday 1/27 I like waking up looking out the open windows of the schooner. Sunrise and that nip in the air is refreshing when you are toasty warm with the covers pulled up and your stocking cap on. Low 40s this morning. Lil Buddy fired up but no furnace. Had coffee, did up the dishes,…

Friday 1/26 Early to bed, early to rise. Up at 5:30 raring to go…. to early to drive, still dark. So I cleaned up, had coffee, had a safety meeting, cleaned up some more ( including myself ) and sat around till it was light enough to drive. Off we go, to enter/exit this area…

Thursday 1/25 Nice morning! The best part of a California day. Headed to CA 111 down past the Salton Sea to El Centro and finally exit California at Yuma. Stopped at a day use area at the Sea to walk around and take a few pictures, thought about camping here. I think it’s another option…
