I hesitated as I approached the main junction. Salt Lake City is the turning point, if one chooses to go to California. Or you can continue south on I-15, with Las Vegas as the next major intersection. As it happened, I decided to keep going south. In October of 2018, I went to the Colorado … Continue reading Southbound Again

Exiting Montana…
...Without winning the big fish lottery, AKA, fishing the Madison River in the Fall for lake-run browns and rainbows. This year, I picked a losing ticket. I caught a few nice average fish, but nothing special. Last year wasn't great, but it felt better than this year. A guy I chatted with at Barnes Hole … Continue reading Exiting Montana…
October in Montana
Well, the ten days that I was based out of Bakers Hole campground was kind of a letdown, as far as the fishing goes. I think in total I netted five adult fish, with the last day accounting for two of them. My Fall visit in previous years have always produced at least one fish … Continue reading October in Montana
The Joys of RV Life, Norcold Edition
The first time I set off in my new-to-me Funmover Motorhome, I had no experience with the world of Recreational Vehicles. Apart from the prior two months I had spent fixing all of the problems that I'd found with my new home, that is. (water damage, wiring problems, broken bits and bobs.) It wasn't a … Continue reading The Joys of RV Life, Norcold Edition
A Troutbum on the Texas Coast
I didn't plan on coming to Texas at all. A year ago I was wrapping up a stretch of work and planned on spending Summer in Montana... it was glorious for the most part. But by the middle of October I had to make a decision on where to go next, and since it was … Continue reading A Troutbum on the Texas Coast
A Thousand Miles, Thirty Days
1010.16 miles at 1.4 mph. That's what Garmin's track has to say about my travels since I turned it on leaving Reno on June 21, 2018. Not including the prequel spent in the high Sierra of California or the week in Reno waiting for news about my Dad. He died on on Father's Day, back … Continue reading A Thousand Miles, Thirty Days
Starting the Fourth Year on the Road
It was April in 2015 that I left my job and headed out on the road towards unknown destinations. As I am getting ready to take off again for new unknowns, I thought I'd take a look back at those first weeks on the road. It took longer than I had anticipated to prepare my … Continue reading Starting the Fourth Year on the Road
Favorite Places
Out of all of the places that I have visited on this journey so far, there is one spot that want to return to again and again. I spent most of August and September of 2015 driving around the Tetons, looking for the ideal boondocking spot. It took me a while, but here it is: … Continue reading Favorite Places
Driggs, Idaho
I spent a week here in September of 2015. There is a free campground at Rainey Bridge that is good for a 14 day stay. Recommended.
