mud defense Yesterday I was getting increasingly nervous about my ability to get up out of the previous campsite back to the forest road after it rained. The forest road (FR 88) itself was fairly hard packed, so even though it was rutted in places from prior rains I figured I could always get downContinue reading “site move / snood / daily cardio”

ABQ to Cuba, NM
I stealthed in Albuquerque a couple days to take advantage of laundromats and pleasant weather. Tomorrow was forecast to be 85F though, which lit a fire under my butt. Finding a boondocking spot on a Friday is suboptimal but turned out ok. My next stop was scheduled to be NF outside Cuba, NM, forecast toContinue reading “ABQ to Cuba, NM”
ELP –> Socorro, NM –> Chamizal, NM
2nd shot I got the 2nd Moderna vaccine shot 9am Monday at the main VA hospital in ELP. I didn’t know if I’d have a reaction, so I wanted to start moving to slightly cooler temps in advance. The move wouldn’t have been so time-sensitive but I broke my swamp cooler by inattention. I hadContinue reading “ELP –> Socorro, NM –> Chamizal, NM”
in transit: Capitan/Jaggers, Ruidoso, Alamagordo
The day before our 14d stay at Cave Campground in the Fort Stanton / Snowy River Cave national conservation area was up we got a friendly visit from the camp host from the nearby Jaggers free-day/paid -overnight campsite. He reminded me my time was almost up, and I said I knew and had it markedContinue reading “in transit: Capitan/Jaggers, Ruidoso, Alamagordo”
March, according to Google
Looks about right.
relo to Capitan, NM
It was staying in the mid-80s in the Las Cruces / ELP area, and was predicted to get into the 90s. It’s comfortable enough in the 80s with the cooler running but I like to get outdoors and hike with Muffin. A look at forecasts and freecampsites showed a developed BLM campground outside Capitan. ThisContinue reading “relo to Capitan, NM”
snowbird intermission
My usual snowbird pattern is to stay follow 70-75deg F weather moving in shortest-practical distances at 14-day intervals. I haven’t updated recently because I’ve deviated from that approach and am migrating toward north central New Mexico with a new friend. We have a few more days to wander that direction and then will stay inContinue reading “snowbird intermission”
February, according to google
Once again Google places me in Tucson despite my not being there. Could be an IP thing when GPS wasn’t available (as when inside the Rolling Steel Barn).
logistics: next move, packages, CA
My 14d would be up here in American Girl Mine on Sat the 6th, but the Traveling Vet referral came through, so I have an appointment in Yuma on the 4th. It’s a fasting appointment (annual exam blood labs) at 0-dark-thirty Thursday morning and I’ll stealth nearby Wednesday night to ease the pain of fastingContinue reading “logistics: next move, packages, CA”
American Girl Mine BLM
Stealthed in an industrial area last night, then got up and headed toward the nearest city park. Made coffee and took Muffin out for a morning walk. litter collection As usual when walking in green areas we took a bucket and grabber to make litter-picking easy. It’s how I “pay” the locals for my useContinue reading “American Girl Mine BLM”
