An epic storm here in Arizona …. the rain they’ve received in the last 24 hours (between 5-7 inches) amounts to more than 1/2 of what Arizona receives in a year. One can only imagine the repercussions …. flash flooding, power outages, sand storms, tornado watches. All this whilst we wiled the day and night…
Whoa, what a night! Not only was the pain and discomfort a jolt to my sleep pattern, the trailer was a rockin’ with the blasting winds and downpour of rain. Our previous Eloy winter had us see strong winds, but last night really topped the cake. I truly thought that we might actually roll over…
A shorter road trip today brought us into Eloy Arizona. Glorious mountains with tremendous gusting headwinds made for a scenic fuel-guzzling drive. As we made our way off the highway towards the drop zone, a decision to turn around and diesel up before a rocky night with an empty fuel tank. I stepped out in…
By far, today was the best travel day we’ve had in our two months of RVing. After our morning stock-up at WalMart, we set sail nice and early, with the goal of reaching El Paso by nightfall. Travelling the road less journeyed today was an incredible experience. We thoroughly enjoyed a pit stop at the…
slaDE~ and I had planned to leave early morning, making our way through Texas along scenic US90, perhaps making it through to El Paso in one day. But fate had other ideas in mind. You see, Barbie the new Mother goat, died this morning, along with her first born who succumbed to this fate shortly…
It’s been a fun week of living on the farm, experiencing the joys of birth and the lows of flooding. Exploration beyond our corralled walls was actually contained to a minimum from our usual convention of adventurous exploration, flying by the seat of our pants. The expansion this week came from within, delving into the…
The day was gorgeous and the skies were crisp, clear and a robin’s egg blue in colour. Such a nice change from the rampant rain here lately. The morning was spent playing with the newborn goats and helping to clean up the muddy mess within Kara’s house. You see, they have 3 dogs and 2…
The downpour continues, and with it, whistling gusting strong winds rocking our Airstream back and forth. Kinda scary considering that our trailer weighs around 10,000 pounds! With the choice of either puddle jumping or internet surfing, I chose the latter and spent a productive morning and afternoon doing what I love most: internet research and…
Although it was a drizzly foggy day, Kara felt spurred by the thought of visiting both the Comal and Guadalupe Rivers. With a early and bright morning smile, Kara knocked on our door and kick-started our day with a cheer and a roar of excitement. And then we were off, exploring the Comal River via…
And so the rain begins. A good day to sit down and read a book, watch some movies and just spend time talking with Kara. The idea of joining Team ‘Hotflash’ as a possibility was thrown my way. WOW! Not quite sure how to make that happen, but just thinking about such a prospect leaves…
