I love how you have a moment after working all day in Kitten (the Airstream) and see a note about scenic drives in New Mexico and one of the is right outside of your door. With no research at all, I get into Midnight and decide to drive. Madrid was a wonderful little city that…

Santa Fe Renaissance Faire
There is something magical about going to a Renn Faire, you have this need to revert to your youth where everything is magical and the impossible is possible. My favorite part of the day was coming across the flock of Flamingos who seem to be cheering on my upcoming adventures. Of COURSE Ducky was gathering…
A New Adventure
I am excited to start a new adventure. A trip that starts off in Santa Fe, NM for a Renaissance Faire and then picking up my best friend before hitting Mesa Verde, Moab, Glacier National Park, and then Yellowstone. To top it all off with a cherry, I will end it with a visit to…
Memorial Day in the White Mountains of Arizona
Starting to prepare for the upcoming Memorial Day Weekend. Normally I would be in Indianapolis for the Indy 500 but it didn’t work out for me this year. So, instead I will be spending 5 days in Alpine, AZ boondocking and rock hunting. I am a bit nervous as this will be my very first…
Water Canyon, NM and Boy Scouts
I flew back in and went to pick up Kitten from Holiday Travel Trailer of NM. I can’t say enough about the people at this location. From the owners of the sales to Carl in service they are all so very friendly, caring and take great care of Kitten. Today is Cinco De Mayo and…
Socorro, NM – Escondido Lake
Stopped overnight at Escondido Lake in Socorro, NM. Nice park with full utilities and a great place for an overnight stop before you have to get on the road next morning. I know, I know there was a wonderful WalMart with overnight parking a couple of miles away. But, I will take an 18 fee…
Aliens and the VLA
There is something about driving through the upper desert in New Mexico. You are on the 60 highway rambling through Pie Town and then there is a vast plain as far as the eye can see. Off in the distance you see large telescopes, 28 in all, gathered together pointing to the sky. It sends…
Dragon’s Cave
Decorating is so much fun, but also challenging in such a small space. But the one thing I knew had to happen was the bedroom needed to become a cave filled with rich cloth, jewels, and dreams. Because you can’t go on adventures with Dragon and Kitten without bringing along a Dragon’s Cave. Note that…
The Beauty of the Day
Drove home from Phoenix today up through Payson, AZ. The valley was a beautiful 80 degrees but as I reached the higher elevation the snow was on the ground and a lake had formed by the side of the road. I could have rushed along cruising through the forest and enjoying the ride, but sometimes…
Adventures Along the way
The first trip out for camping was quite complicated, interesting, stressful and fun. I did my first major tow through Salt Canyon in Arizona. Basically a 2 hour drive with an elevation change of 7k feet and very twisty turns on a two way highway. While the towing was a blast, I had a surprise…
