Something ate through my charging cord while I was taking a nap. Haven’t been able to use my phone much for the last few days. Not sure if that’s a negative or positive? #lazydays #wandering

Ranger Roll Test
Thinking about getting rid of my tent. Slept in my rain poncho last night instead and it worked surprisingly well as a bivy. Hmm… Drop three pounds of comfort? Really sleep outside? #wandering #rangerroll
Camping in Coconino National Forest
I don’t do much camping, and by that I mean relaxing in the same campsite for almost a week. Usually I’m in and I’m out, finding a new place along the trail to sleep every night. But I thought I’d slow down and sit for a bit. Somewhere hidden and off trail. Maybe read a […]
Sycamore Falls, Arizona
When the hike out to the waterfall gives you blisters but you don’t care because you are going to be soaking in a mountain river all day… but there’s no water when you get there. You have to climb down into the canyon to drink from the puddles that still exist, breaking your tripod, and […]
Grand Canyon Railroad to Nany’s Tacos
Rode the Grand Canyon Railroad into Williams because I’ve never been there before, which is too bad because Nanys Tacos has the best tacos I’ve had in the US. Hiked a little ways out of town to camp for the night. A little close to the interstate but I don’t mind. #wandering #Arizona
Tent Camping on My Property
In the light of a new day anything is possible… #headingwest #wandering
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
AZT to CDT via Tombstone, AZ
Hiked into Tombstone to see the OK Coral and Boot Hill Cemetery. Didn’t take enough pictures. Realized that I was going to miss my ride to New Mexico unless I hustled… so I hitchhiked rather than walk the last 30 miles to the train station. #greatday
