The past two winters we’ve stayed on our Texas property we haven’t really seen much wildlife. We saw a dead jackrabbit and various scat the first year. Last year Scott thinks he saw bighorn sheep. This year we had a flowering plant, which folks on iNaturalist identified as a Havard’s Fiddleleaf and seems to be […]
It’s March and that means we will soon be off on our summer adventures! We’ve decided this year we are going to do a southern loop. We plan to hit nine new states (KA, MO, KY, TN, AL, MS, LA, AR, and OK) and four new national parks. First we are heading to Denton TX […]
We’ve had our property for three years now and have had two guests. Michael was our first ever; he helped Scott move us from the RV Park in Terlingua out to the property the first year while I was away on a work trip. This past week we hosted Michael again along with Eric, both […]
I think we got our first mouse in Flaming Gorge (Sept 2023). Then we got two more less than a month later. We captured these critters using a wyze camera set to record on motion. We had heard noises but the camera confirmed we had a problem. Below are different angles we used to try […]
When we had our road and septic put in on our property, we ended up with a loop for the driveway and the septic in the middle. Our landscaper (Bryan) cleared a flat area and pushed all the excess to the middle where he put the septic. Our land has a lot of limestone shale, […]
At the end of November, we had a plan for tank recovery: 1) empty the water, 2) secure it, 3) haul it up the cliff. Step 1. Empty the water We weren’t quite sure how much water was in the tank, but there was some. There is a hole in the side at the bottom […]
As previously mentioned, one of our 2500 gallon water tanks was missing from our property and found at the bottom of a gully. At first we weren’t sure if it was vandalism or just the wind, but now we’re pretty confident it was just poor planning and bad luck. When first delivered, we had 800g […]
After being gone for the last seven months, we wanted to go check out our property as soon as we arrived in Terlingua. The area had received a lot more rain this year so we were curious about the state of the seven miles of dirt roads we traverse to get to our property. The […]
Well, looks like we didn’t stick to our plan of updating this blog every week! To get us back on track, I’ll run through a quick update of our traveling for the past five months. Last time we posted we were in Tucson Arizona. We had just received word that the truck was totaled from […]
Our year three travels are about to begin. At the beginning of May in 2023 we began living on the road. The first year we were adjusting to this lifestyle, the fifth-wheel life, travel weekends, new procedures for all of the above. We were also seeing a ton of new places and visiting a lot […]
