Day 62 TWO MONTHS DOWN!
December 14th marked my two month anniversary on the road. This short time has, without a doubt, been the most incredible life enriching experience I’ve ever had. To have the opportunity to live life exactly as you want for anytime longer than a weekend is special. We work all year to take that vacation, and … Continue reading
Day 61 Big Bend does it again
Morning began with a couple of catch-up projects. First on the list though was coffee. A short walk to the campground store and I had that one checked off the list. I could brew up some coffee at the campsite, but I decided to save my resources (butane and supply of coffee) for a more … Continue reading
Days 59 and 60 Big Bend. The prettiest thing I’ve seen without two legs
Big Bend greeted me with a cold clear morning after my first nights camp at the park. Another bird also greeted me as I was making coffee and grabbing a bite to eat. This feathered foul friend was a road runner like the ones from the cartoons. He scoped me out for a bit hoping … Continue reading
Day 58 Foggy to Fantastic
Time 5:57am. Problem, I was awake. Solution, get packing. For what? Big Bend National Park, the place that I’ve been more nervous about visiting than any other place on the journey. Why? Mostly the media and secondly, it is one of the most remote places in the United States. From everything I’ve read about the … Continue reading
Day 57 Ozona to Fort Stockton TX
Let’s see. How can I turn 106 miles of riding through a desert wasteland into an interesting post? Well I’m not really sure. The ride out of Ozona toward Fort Stockton on 10w is what most would describe as no mans land. One big brown rolling hill after another speckled with the same red and … Continue reading
Day 56 Coolest little town to the biggest little town
I didn’t want to put Luckenbach in the rear view mirrors, but the nature of this journey keeps me moving. I will miss Luckenbach and the great people I’ve met. I’ve mentioned before that I’m headed to Big Bend National Park for a short stay. The trek there is going to take me three days … Continue reading
Day 55 Luckenbach, so good I had to stay another day
Staying another day in Luckenbach was an easy choice. That wasn’t the only reason I decided to stick around though. The day before, I gave my new buddy Bob my word that I’d show up again. He told me that I had to stick around and watch Jimmy Lee Jones play from about noon to … Continue reading
Day 54 Luckenbach, the coolest place I’ve been.
I’ve got to gripe a bit about my camcorder before I get on with what happened on day 54. When it’s cold I shiver and my camcorder shivers too. Literally. When the camera gets cold it will vibrate a such a high frequency that getting a good pic is impossible. What I usually have to … Continue reading
Day 53 So long to Greune, Hello Alamo
Man I didn’t want to come out of the sleeping bag the morning of Day 53. It was cold, but for the first time in a few days it wasn’t raining. I had make my escape from the campground and get on the road again. Get while the getting was good you know. When I … Continue reading
Days 51, 52 Wet and Wild, but mostly wet
It just rained for three days straight. When I think of Texas I think of dry arid land full of desert landscapes or maybe large ranches with cacti. I didn’t expect to experience more rain in Texas than any other state that I’ve been in. Washington would have been my number one bet if I … Continue reading
