Description

I own no land, instead I have wheelestate. I’ve been a full time RVer since 1997. Working summers as a Park Ranger takes me to many beautiful places and playing during the winter takes me to many more. This blog is simply the story of my life's adventures.

Thank you for stopping by. Just to let you know, I'm still blogging but have moved to Geogypsytraveler. Hope you'll follow my adventures. Just click here.

Tracks in the sand

01 Maybe duck tracks in sand Lone Rock Beach Lake Powell UT (1024x768)

Do you ever wonder what it is that left tracks in the sand?

Mike and I were walking the beach along Lake Powell last week and saw these, which he says were left by a duck.

And I’ve followed these crisscrossing tracks many times but this is the first I’ve seen the beetle that made them.

Aspen Gold

01 Aspen turning along Hwy 67 N GRCA NP AZ (1024x763)

The forest is turning to gold. At least the Aspen are. Last week’s few cool nights down into the low 30s F have triggered the trees. This photo was taken on Monday. I need to get out in the forest.

SWF – A round about way for groceries

On the way to go grocery shopping in Page, Arizona Mike and I hiked the Toadstools trail in the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument and camped at Lone Rock Beach in Utah.

That’s about 140 miles one way along the northern route.

MWT – Grand Canyon, Where the Beefalo Roam

There is no such thing as Buffalo in America. You have to go to Asia or Africa to see true Buffalo. There are Bison. They can be seen at Custer State Park, Yellowstone and Wind Cave National Parks and privately owned ranches, but not at Grand Canyon.

Most dangerous wildlife at the canyon

01 Ground squirrel on bench back at campground amphitheater NR GRCA NP AZ (1024x760)

Golden-Mantled Ground Squirrel

Ain’t I cute? But if you try to feed me I may bite. And if you don’t feed me I may just climb into your lap and help myself to your lunch.

And watch out for my little friend too.
