My wife has a friend who was always curious to hear about our travels, loved getting post cards from us and poured over our photos when we got back. Over the time we've known her, we had taken several lengthy trips, one of over a years duration all over the US and Mexico. She said if she had the...

Been cutting out a couple rusty spots and hopefully soon will be welding in new rocker panel sections. Big job for me, glad I have a retired geezer friend with a welder who is helping. Rebuilt the side rollout battery box, it actually rolls out now. While crawling under this beast (2003 Dodge 1...

There seems to be fairly high satisfaction going solar for those who have bit the bullet and delved in, perhaps having previous experience with requisite skills in electical things being a huge plus. For myself, there apperas to be a fairly steep learning curve at not inexpensive pricing. I'm...

Not a major problem here but a vexing one. After an inordinate amount of time looking over the van and searching online, I'm drawing a blank. The vehicle is a 2003, Dodge 3500 van. It's a former commercial duty transit vehicle so the alarm is very LOUD, not like the little beepers in the back-up...

How you be?

$4 a 5lb box right now where I am. The crop from Spain is in, delicious. Hope you get to enjoy some.

Just came across this, not affiliated in any way. Riley Camp Stoves of Montana makes a varied line of camp and outfitter stoves mostly for wall tent and horse packing use. Most of their stoves are traditional wood burning but they also make a line of portable pellet camp stoves that do not need...

Contrary to current popular imagination, true nomads, historical and contemporary, had and have fixed circuits, well known routes, stable relationships to places and a love and appreciation for them all. They are far from being the aimless drifters that the word nomad often connotes nowadays...

Those times close with my woman, I heard her moan and reach for me bringing me closer, hair like the flag of the country in whose army I marched unfurled across the pillow, wings at her back. Everything else was the news of distant rumor, I closed my eyes to see the balance beam, feather...

Winter Solstice: Saturday, December 21, 2013, 12:11 PM EST Solstice: sol sistere, latin for sun and standing still, the day when the sun stands still. Root rhythms, circles and orbs, may grace find you in this northern, long nights time of year, may the peace of stillness be a reflection and...

A few years back author Rebecca Solnit published a lovely little book titled: A Field Guide to Getting Lost. The writing is personal with memoirs but also contains distinct and various stories from episodes in history. One notable reading is that of Spanish explorer Cabeza de Vaca, after being...

There's an 800 lb. gorilla in the room. Not to be maudlin but I'm looking to sort this out and find a way through it. Any words of wisdom?

As counterpoint to the media-ized frenzy known as black friday, the idea of BND exists in some quiet corners of the land. For me it has little to do with politics and all to do with economics: I'm cheap. Frugal is a better word though as I'll wait to afford quality over instant grat and have...

Song of Myself, verse 46 I know I have the best of time and space, and was never measured and never will be measured. I tramp a perpetual journey, (come listen all!) My signs are a rain-proof coat, good shoes, and a staff cut from the woods, No friend of mine takes his ease in my chair, I...

I've been shopping and I'm looking to learn all about cargo trailers that I can. Circumstances dictate I get this done pretty much as soon as I can. Would appreciate thoughts, experience and opinions on the matter particularly regards to pro/con on brands/models, sizes, electric brakes, or...
