Spending Time on My Property
Marked the boundaries of my property and the southeast corner has a sweeping view of the Petrified Forest National Park. Working on plans for a meditation structure facing the rising sun… and a composting toilet. #workinprogress #Arizona

Hitchhiking from Pie Town to Holbrook
Hitchhiked 170 miles from Pie Town, NM to where RT 66 passed through Holbrook, AZ in just under four hours. To me that’s impressive when it’s a three+ hour drive without having to wait for people to pick you up. Time to let the snow melt before I jump back on trail. #hitchhiking #wandering
Toaster House, Pie Town, NM

The owners are exceedingly generous in their hospitality. Plus you’re walking distance to lots of pie! Just wish my last pair of shoes […]

At the same time I found out a friend who was coming to visit, bringing all of my belongings from storage, got into an accident. Totalling his van and breaking his hip. […]
Tent Camping Gila National Forest
Camping and hiking in some pretty remote places. No cell signal, no people, and you try to grab water when you find it. 170 Mile’s between town’s is more than I’m used to. #CDT #wandering
Doc Campbell’s, NM

Laundry Day on the CDT, Silver City, NM
Apparently, doing laundry in town is the most dangerous thing I could be doing. Wish me luck! I hope I survive! #CDT #wandering
Columbus Gila Alternate Loop Hike on the CDT
Brutal hiking! Snow covered trail that also happened to be overgrown with thorns, yay! At least I got to make a Del’s lemonade. #CDT #wandering
