...made me think of a pastoral life in the Basque country. You can hardly blame me for that since I am in the Colorado high country hiking and mountain biking with my dogs. Wouldn't a shepherd's life be more natural... more »

Everything was so nice: the weather, scenery, geology and trails. Maybe that was the problem. more »

How many years does it take for a full time RVer to finish downsizing? The current spat of downsizing was therapy more than utility: it distracted me from... more »

Most of my RV was behind the driver's seat and out of view. I glanced at the maps and started thinking about this autumn's migration. I could still go through more »

After eleven years of full time RVing I still fuss and stew about seasonal migrations, and when finally embarking on the geographical drama I literally feel a lump in my throat... more »

Finding this campsite was satisfying at the time, but it was so subtle that its significance escaped me at first. We weren't hiking to burn calories...we were doing our job. more »

I've often wondered how other RVers deal with the sophomore jinx. Let's say you visit a town for the first time and are swept off your feet with its off-beat charm. The next year you come back and find... more »

And so we have a new dragon to slay. After a lot of web surfing it seemed hopeless to find a lighter trailer and fuel-sipping van or truck that could pull it. Finally I got excited about... more »

Ironically it is easy to have mixed feelings about succeeding on a long term project. Life is so much more interesting with a dragon to slay. more »

A ride or a hike is more fun when you only start with a vague goal, and then start guessing and making plans based on what you see. more »

I do like my old mining towns a little bit weathered and decayed. The world has enough Tellurides and Bisbees.

All of this happened right outside the bedroom window of my RV. It gets pretty rowdy at 2 a.m. when the Leadville saloons close. more »

There was a time, early in my RV career, when I thought that being a full time RVer was mainly a matter of learning enough how-to tricks. What a fool I was. more »

This might be a small project but it epitomizes the whole issue of living partly outdoors. While bodily indoors, my mind is out-of-doors. more »

One day there were at least eight different types of butterflies within a few feet of me. They have a gift for alighting on a plant and tricking you into readying your camera. more »

It used to be just a river and a border between the USA and Mexico. It's far grander than that, geologically. There is something special about a rift valley. 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 »

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 »
