Day 20 – Santa Fe to Angel Fire NM Our pretty little drive through Carson National Forest from Santa Fe to Angel Fire was punctuated with lots of fall. Our campground is more of a trailer park this time. We did love the contactless check in (by text) and the fact that no one bothered…

Zion Canyon Balloon loop – Part 4
Day 13 – Page AZ to Azetc NM Worst driving day in a very long time. Just when we were so excited to leave AZ for the it-can’t-possibly-get-worse highways of NM, we crossed the state line and It. Got. Worse! Every single person running for any state office should have to drive on the worst…
Big Western Circle Trip #2 – Part 10/end
Day 35 – lazy day We might have booked a bit too long in Sundance…but we also padded rest time into our trip (along with short/easy driving days). We started the day with a Dutch Baby, which is like an enormously fluffy pancake/crepe. Thank you, Acre Homestead, for teaching me what these are! Day 36…
Big Western Circle Trip #2 (2023 edition) – Part 1
Days 1-2 – Rawlins, WY Driving day We left a day earlier than originally planned for reasons. Just like last year, we saw a Miami Hurricane along our route. I wonder if it’s one of the ones we saw last year. We boondocked (with permission, of course) for two nights in a parking lot for…

Hot Springs and would-be Jeepin’ Things
Last September, we saw the Great Sand Dunes (National Park) and other stuff in that area. Based entirely on a video by Elsa & Barron, we stayed at “The Greenhouse” hot springs in Hooper, CO. We had an amazing time. So this year, when some camping friends wanted to do that same trip for a…
Happy Winter Solstice 2022
and happy Yule to you and yours!
And yet…
Current situation It’s 26º or something like that, outside as I (L) write this. And yet, there is no pretty sparkly white fluffy stuff. Ahem, no! We came up here for the (humanity and the) pretty sparkly white fluffy stuff, dammit. (We had some snur–as a local weather nerd calls it–for like a minute. But it…
