Chicken, mashed potatoes, and beans

I’ve been feeling pretty guilty that I’ve been taking the easy way out on my meals. A bowl of cereal for breakfast, sandwich for lunch, and sometimes more of the same for dinner. I have eaten out a lot this month too. Tonight I broke the cycle and prepared another...

Trapped in Colorado

It has been nearly one full month since I arrived back in Colorado and since then I have had few adventures. Between spending time with Timmy and the repeated snow storms, I haven’t been able to get out on too many trails for biking or hiking. I have a list...

Roosevelt National Forest, Dadd Gultch

With the weather finally allowing the sun to shine, Conor and I took the opportunity to drive up Highway 14 to get in a quick snow-hike. Conor’s original plan was a trail up near the 10,000 ft elevation mark, but as we topped 8,000 the mountain was clearly trying to...

180 days

Today is my 6-month anniversary of being a full-time van dweller. To the rest of the world, that means I am homeless, but to me it means I am home no matter where I decide to turn the engine off. It is somewhat of a challenge to me… to stay...

Officially a Moose

My membership card came in today along with an invitation to attend my orientation and first membership meeting this Thursday. Knowing that my Grand Father was once a Moose makes it a little more of a big-deal to me. I wonder if I get some antlers ;)

The interior of the van never dipped below mid 30’s overnight, which is sleeping-in-my-skimpies kind of weather.  Immediately after snapping this image, I opened the river’s door allowing all...

Colorado National Speedway

Good ol’ Saturday Night racin’ at Colorado National Speedway! This was my first visit to CNS even though I have lived only a few miles from the track for the past 5 years. It is visible from the Interstate and each time I passed by I told myself, “this Saturday...

Rock and Roll in Denver

Last night I attended my first concert in… longer then I am willing to admit. Even though I bought two tickets (in hopes of finding a date) I ended up selling the extra ticket, which paid for the night’s parking in downtown Denver on a Friday. I got to see...

Compact Jr rebuild, demolition

Since I am bound to the Colorado area (give or take a state) over the next month or three the rebuild of the Compact Jr trailer has begun. I do not expect it to be a speedy process, but over the next few months I will be slowly rebuilding the...

Still a resident of Colorado

I know, I know. This is the 3rd year now that I’ve said I will setup residence in South Dakota and once again I took the easy way out. I blame it on the Datsun though, it isn’t my fault… I swear! All the work that it takes to setup...
