Cows Come Calling, Milestone Birthday, Generator Conks Out

From the Coconino National Forest near Flagstaff, Arizona: Summer is definitely showing signs of winding down here in the mountains. The angle of the sun is noticeably different than it was when we arrived here back in late May, making the shadows longer and darker. The temperatures have continued to be mostly very pleasant with …

Battery Update, Christmas Plans, More Geocaching

As I reported in the last post, we had another episode of battery death, this time with our brand new 150 amp-hour batteries that we just purchased last week at Camping World. At the time of that post, we had let the generator run all night to try to recharge the batteries. Here's what happened …

Our First Sub-Freezing Night In Our RV

Baby, it's cold outside! The cold arctic blast that is sweeping through the country made its way into south-central New Mexico yesterday (Monday), as forecasted. We made a trip into Las Cruces after lunch yesterday to pick up some groceries. When we left the campground, it was sunny to partly cloudy and in the mid-50's. …

Expense Report for September-October 2018

Happy Halloween! This is the report that several people have requested, and which we had always planned to include on the blog. Today we're going to talk about what it costs us to live this lifestyle. First, a couple of caveats. Every RVer is different--different rig, different diet, different interests--so our expenses are unique to …
