This is my second time passing through Silver City with my first only stopping long enough to restock my groceries. This time I stayed a little longer, to do laundry and take a walking tour of the old downtown area. Sadly, as is the case in most “old downtown areas”,...
Alright, I admit that apple pie was the primary reason I wanted a dutch oven. A home van-cooked pie tops off a long day hiking or biking like nothing else, so after my recent successes in dutch oven cooking I whipped up my plans for van-made apple pie. A ‘from...
Moose and I camped at the Dragonfly Trailhead in search of a little adventure. Truth be told, this puppy needs to get out of the van and *do* something and having a target to shoot (photo) at the end of the trail spurred me into some activity as well. Moose...
Since I was stationary and had 120v power for the day I figured it was a good time to plug in that slow cooker and make up the chicken chilli I had in store. It was simple; just slice-or-dice and put everything into the pot. 2 hours later I had...
I pulled into the Truth or Consequences Moose Lodge in the early afternoon. After some time meeting and greeting with my fellow Moose neighbors, I got some chores done before the big game. It was a potluck dinner with hundreds of members coming out to watch the game together. I...
I bought what I thought was a Dutch Oven but turned out to be a Bean Pot Kettle. In only two days of cooking with it I am in love with this form of cooking and thoroughly endorse getting a Dutch Oven (or Kettle) as part of your RVing or...
I decided to use my recently purchased Dutch Oven Bean Pot Kettle to pre-prepare the potatoes and yams I have been carrying around. See, normally I never get around to using these foods as they take too much time and effort to prepare, but winds of change blew past me...
After a restful night at the casino, Moose and I continued our voyage southward but only made it about 50 miles before deciding to pull over. The Moose Lodge in Belen New Mexico is our home for the night. The day was just business as usual; work, a few chores,...
I seemed to travel the same mile over and over in some Groundhog Day hell made specifically for me. I drove 100 miles this morning to arrive at what I thought would be my spot for the rest of the day. The casino I had chosen had no place (dirt of...
It took some time, but Moose and I did make it out of Colorado finally. 300 miles may not sound like much, but that is almost a weeks drive for me any other time, and I’m only half way to the ‘safe zone’ in terms of overnight temperatures. The drive...
