Tools of the trade

When I left my career a year ago, I hadn't thought much about the daily "grind" of traditional work. Gaining the freedom of being on the road still carries it's share of "work". This morning , after coming back from a walk, I noticed that my rear tire was partially deflated.....ughh!!!

Thank goodness I carry a tire repair kit, which includes : dc powered air compressor, tire pressure guage, plug kit, and........ Time. I have plenty of this since hitting the road.

I must have picked up this " gift " at my last camp in Ehrenberg.

So... Today's lesson for anyone " livin' the life of freedom" is be prepared for daily work, chores that can unexpectedly appear.

Work in progress

Being that my budget is somewhat modest and wanting to " tinker" with my home , my progress will be painfully slow. I recently bought my Dodge Xplorer 224 to replace my last shack being a Chevy Express van. I wanted someone retro and different this time. I pretty much gutted the " house" utilities and retrofitted more modern technology like solar electricity , newer plumbing. Removed the ridiculously small dinette area and is now mostly kitchen. My next mod is to add a wood stove for alternative heating. I currently use a Wave 3 propane heater up front but doesn't heat the rear very well. Down the road, exterior bodywork and paint will follow.   😎⛺🐶

A day in Hi Jolly

Always enjoy the stay here at Hi Jolly BLM as it's predictably quiet and peaceful. Great access to supplies and services just two miles to Quartzsite.  😎⛺🐶

Diversity among nomads

A beautiful day in Big River, CA. Currently camped at the BLM 14 day atea just across the Colorado River from Parker , AZ.
                         It's Been a year now, being "full time" and have met very interesting nomads along the way. Today I got to meet my " neighbor " as it came strolling into my camp. Pretty cool experience.
