Taking the Road Less Traveled

All the days in between I left Lake Mead and followed US95 down and took the Kelbaker cutoff. Nice backroad. There is no such thing as a deserted road in Southern California but this seems that way at times. Listened to some classical on XM and held it at 50 mph. Made it thru Twenty…

Tuesday, 11/1 Need to go to CVS- Henderson, NV and fill a prescription, hit the market and go by Home Depot for a couple of things. This being able to fill my meds where ever i and CVS are fits in nicely with my lifestyle. I use their app and it makes a PIA very…

Monday, 10/31 I did notice big piles of dirt or something across the road yesterday. I didn’t notice the railroad cars nor the huge loader across the street. Why the bastards never started up the loader till 9:00pm I’ll never know. But i know it ran ALL night long. All night. If the constant drum…

Sunday, 10/30 Mr. Wishy-Washy this morning trying to keep off the interstate. Ended up in the hills east of Mesquite mid morning. Not my intended plan but decided to stay. Leveled up and started tea and it’s 10:30. I didn’t last long before i was looking at the maps and loaded up and headed this…

Lordy, Lordy were does the time go? Last post i was in Utah just getting my shorts on, now i’m in Yuma putting my long pants back on. Will update tonight

Saturday, 10/29 Sitting here in shorts and tee shirt. Virgin River Gorge (2640’)  just off the interstate. Not much noise and the lights from the Arizona Highway Patrol pulling people over has been entertaining this evening.  Left this morning 35F. Followed Cottonwood Wash Road for 40 miles of #2  dirt road. Mainly twisty and decent…

Friday, October 28 South i head. 26F this morning. Utah 12 is the road and it kind of splits Grand Escalante area of Utah. Slow curves road and topped out at 9600’ elevation. Took till 2PM to go 125 miles. Decided to stay at Kodachrome Basin SP. $25 per night….. ahhh, no. Not for a…

Thursday 10/27 Not as cold last night.  I seem to sleep better in the schooner. CPAP works fine and one trip outside to check out the stars. I got out for a walk first thing, lots of mountain lion warning but no carry this morning. Saw Steve the CG host who got me another nights…

Wednesday 10/26 The night at Crater was cold and windy. Fifty sites, 8 campers of which four were tent campers who are mighty souls. Nineish start. To bitter for a walk and it started to snow. I need to quit dilly-dallying and go south. POS drive . Rain and snow from Pocatello to Nephi Utah.…

Monday/Tuesday 10/24-25 Bit out of practice. Finally got rolling about 5:00pm Monday. Cold, windy, bit of rain. Camped at the fishing access just over the Bitterroot River south of Darby. We’ve put in there to float. Still shaking down. Didn’t remember to put the window insulation up nor the hatch’s insulated cover. Got down to…
