Normally I am too practical to entertain silly fantasies of a smaller rig with much better gas mileage. more »

I couldn't believe it. It was a small meadow, an island of light and air. I really didn't know that such islands existed. more »

A large peak loomed over camp. Even though I'm not a "peak bagger," I just had to start towards it because of the grand and grassy slope in front of the trailer. more »

I'm always looking for non-scenery experiences that dovetail with the full time RV lifestyle. This spring the Tibet protests were in the news. On The Buddha's birthday... more »

It's funny how RV boondocking campsites work out sometimes. When I came here the first night it was just for convenience's sake. Then it grew on me a little each day. And now I feel almost homesick leaving it... more »

The cliffs were a natural amphitheater. It seemed like eavesdropping to listen to it all...I sat there for twenty minutes. I've never really listened to a forest before. more »

The trick is pretty simple: just stay off the roads, off the trails and out of the campgrounds. Consign yourself to unglamorous land that is 5 miles away from the postcards, where the eye candy will be 90% as good. more »

Along the way a horseman and two dogs were moving two heavy-footed ungulates to a different pasture. John Wayne, in The Cowboys, said that a cow was just a lot of trouble tied up in a bag of leather. more »

This was the third rattlesnake this week. Apparently I've landed in the Rattler Capitol of Colorado. I knew this RV boondocking campsite was too good to be true.

It seemed outrageous that after 2000 years of "progress" we should be more enslaved than ever. There is no worse form of slavery than a false freedom that no one questions.

But something else happens when we take our dogs outdoors with us. They serve as an intermediary between ourselves and the rest of nature. more »

There is something about cliffs and ridgelines. The ease of motion, the expansive views in most directions...these put the hiker in a calmly euphoric mood. more »

I've overlooked another possibility until now. Presumably the San Juan mountains have wrung out the clouds so the land is graced with sparse vegetation. But it's still pleasantly cool. more »

After watching a whole season disappear you experience a recrudescence of the rage that caused you to become a full time RVer in the first place. more »

But this plan might be unraveling. Although Utah has some high forest camping, its cities and towns aren't that high. Maybe I'll just run a diagonal to southwestern Colorado right from Flagstaff. more »

Ponderosas are aptly named. It is a little frightening to think of such big trees swaying a hundred feet over my head while I sleep in bed. more »

I kept walking around it, admiring it. But the photograph belittled its three-dimensionality. This isn't the first time that I've been stumped by the camera. more »
