Ft Defiance.... Not a whole lot left of the "park" but to stand in a spot with so much history behind it is cool. If you ever get close, get the history out, read up on the fort and all that passed by there.
Off the beaten path, by several miles....but oh so worth the drive to go see this gem!
Took a drive through Rocky Mountains Nat'l Park. Pretty drive! One note...you'll hear that you have to go online recreation.gov to get a "time" to enter the Park, and yes you do if you try to go between 9am - 2pm. But if you plan to get there prior to 9am OR after 2pm Mountain Time....you do not have to get a "permit reservation" time...and the reservation will cost you $2.
I am starting to stop at the little museums along the Forgotten Roads in the small towns to try to share a small piece of what America is a really like instead of the 15 minutes cities, fast paced to lifestyle & all the "ailments" that comes with this hurried pace lifestyle. Slow down and take the time to see what is close to you that will allow you to "smell the roses"!
This was a very worthwhile stop! It looks small, but it is so full of interesting history!
Just a little project for a friend!
A stop that is worth taking the time to drive a little out of the way to see!
When living out here "off grid", you need to always be prepared for "things to happen"...when you least expect it. And always remember to keep up to date with you regular maintenance! It can be a major step in the direction of not having issues as you travel!
Lily is repaired, two bearings, two seals, as much of the metal shavings cleaned out as was possible without pulling the entire housing unit out of her! So on down the road we are about to roll!
The next you are passing by a road that you have often thought "I wonder what is down there".....take a few minutes and go see!!
The summer camping season is coming to an end! Has been a good season overall. But I'm buttoned up and will be heading "South East" in just a few days!
Got settled in here at Sunny Gulch Campground.It hasn't changed at all, a few less trees due to storms, but overall just as I left it! Season startd out well, except it snowed on me 5 times before May was over! June was slow, but it finally picked up. Then on July 12 a fire was found on the Bench Lake trail and Redfish lake area was evauated! I was full for 19 straight nights, currently I am empty!!
Just wanted to let you see a few minutes of the areas that I spent a few months in this Winter! It was a good stay. Temperatures stayed in my "optimum" range for the most part! It is now time to head for Idaho for the summer! Hope to see you there, at the Sawtooth Mtns National Recreation Area! ck out this great video
Just a quick look at a couple of the things to see in the Lake Havasu City, AZ area.
I am just trying to get a bit more proficient in my ability to fly my drone! I want folks to see the areas where I camp. Get a real feel for just how far "off-grid" I try to go!
Wanted to share this "One Pot Wonder" meal with you. It is really nice to make up a meal using only one pot/pan that will feed you for at least 3-4 meals! And if you "shop around", maybe look around is a better way to say it, you can find things that do not have a lot of ingredients that can't be pronounced that make your eating habits more on the healthy side! It is also, overall, more filling and it can also be a lot easier on your budget for off-grid life!
