Last night a small group of coyotes wandered along the creek next to my campsite. Their cries are always so beautiful. I fell asleep smiling. It’s moving day, however, to the other side of the Rocky Mtn Front. I was thinking about a trip 10 years ago to nearby Glacier National Park, when I camped…
I made it out of Billings to the Bluebird trail. Before writing about that adventure, here is my weekly summary: Big Horn Mountains, WY Greatest Find on the road: propane, water, van gas all in one place (Flying J) Biggest Duh: Trying for 5 minutes to light refrigerator (propane connection). Tried again and again later.…
Yesterday Tango and I skeedaddled out of the high plains in far northern Wyoming. We headed for the stunning scenery of the Big Horn Mountains. My water tank was empty so I filled up with water in the campground using my hose and the campground drinking water. I was also certain that my propane was…
I have so much to share about week one and living in a popup camper, so I decided to tell the story in a condensed best of/worst of format. Best innovation: Hangers with clips to dry wet clothes Best camp food: Lentil stew cooked in dutch oven over the fire Best drink: Iced tea made…

I used to camp in the van, before I had my camper Half Moon. I still keep a bed in there for those nights when I am traveling a long way and don’t want to set up the camper. Originally, I had a twin bed on a frame. At one point I put the mattress…
Several people have warned me about the Williston, ND area and suggest that I do not drive through there on my upcoming trip. At first I wondered, how can a place be so bad in this country that a woman shouldn’t travel there alone? Besides, I am a tough gal, not afraid of much :…
A record number of people read my blog yesterday, about using Furoshiki for packing. It seems that preparing and packing is an appealing topic. So, before I share my pillow-case-packing-tip, I thought I would step back and share some of my advance planning. Six weeks is a long time to be away from my work…
My popup is a luxurious alternative to the old days of camping in a tent on the ground. And, I feel like I have every gadget ever made to make life fun while traveling Then, I read an article this morning on CNN.com and found out there is more…so much more. On my budget, however,…
