I left you off at Tucson after finding the puppy dog, Trinity – now renamed Kaya, after Kayenta, the closest town in Arizona from where I found her.  I decided to relocate to Tucson. It made a logical sense – southwest where I love to camp and explore, university town, not too large a city but big enough to have lots to keep me entertained and fed, a good motorcycle community I could easily plug into…. But things kept not…

Bumps in the Road

Bumps in the Road

(Bryce Canyon National Park, UT) It’s not an adventure until something goes wrong, right? I’ve had difficulty with  my solar set-up for ages – almost since I got my camper. The place from where I originally got it didn’t figure it out, so I put up with not camping in one location for longer than a day or two in order for my power generating to keep up with my power use. All I have is a little dorm fridge…

I know I wrote about this some in my previous post, but I’m so overwhelmed by the kindness of people that I feel a need to write more.

I lived in…

After I left Spokane, I continued on my friend visit adventure and headed West to see some folks I knew when I lived in Seattle 1990 – 1994.  Many years ago, they moved just outside the small Washington town of Rockport, Wa. in the North Cascades, on the edge of the North Cascades National Park.  I got set up out front, nestled amongst the flower beds.  Then the dogs and and I took a hike on a trail just up…

On a Precipice

On a Precipice

This feeling of teetering on a ledge has been strong these past few weeks. I realized that it might help to assuage that feeling if I had more of a plan in place so I went to the campering forum of folks who also have truck campers like mine, where I’ve made a number of friends over the past few years. I wanted to look for ideas of places to go on this trip, and I glanced at my profile…
