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.

SWF – Bluegrass sunset

01 Sunset Congress AZ (800x538)

A couple weeks ago Mike and I joined his brother’s family at a Bluegrass concert put on at their local elementary school.

02 Sunset Congress AZ (800x411)

The sunset put on a brilliant backdrop for a little foot stomping and hand clapping.

03 Special Consensus bluegrass band Congress Elementary School AZ (800x463)

The Special Consensus band also put on a show during the day for the kids.

04 Sunset Congress AZ (800x400)

They were good, but I think the sunset stole the show.

“To Do” list

My friend and fellow blogger FabGrandma and her OH are settling in for winter as camphosts. So what does she do but make a winter “to do” list with all sorts, well 10 actually, of ambitious things to get done over the next six months. And then asks what others have planned. All this got me to thinking. Am I suppose to have a “winter to-do” list?

I posted this as my comment:

OMG girl, a "winter to-do" list. You are so ambitious. I can barely stir myself enough to grocery shop once a week, only driving 30 miles each way.

1. Hike down the S Kaibab trail and back up the Bright Angel. OK, have the permit for right after Thanksgiving. A good way to work off the calories.

2. Travel to TX probably January and see lots of sights and national parks along the way. Earning some more Jr Ranger Badges.

3. Digitize all, or most, of my old 1960s cassettes. That's been on this list for years.

4. Find and buy MY ideal 5th-wheel. That list is too long.

5. #9 I'm at least part way done with. Need to be more proactive, note to self.

6. Finish DVD on adventure of a lifetime to South Africa. Which was on last years list. The trip that is.

7. Think about what else needs to be done this winter.

So what’s on your “winter to-do” list?

MWT – Kruger National Park Day 5

Sunrise

I’ve been working on a slide show of my adventure to South Africa and it’s fun to look at these images and transport myself back.

02 Rock outcrop Kruger NP Mpumalanga ZA (800x599)

It was our last day in Kruger, but still much more to explore in South Africa.

03 Rhino dung with Dung beetles Kruger NP Mpumalanga ZA (800x598)

Dung but no rhino

Didn’t see a whole lot of big wildlife that day.

A walking stick on a bathroom wall. (One of the best places to find insects in the morning.)

05 Leopard Tortoise Kruger NP Mpumalanga ZA (800x666)

This leopard tortoise crossing the road.

06 Joan making coffee Pretoriuskop Rest Camp Kruger NP Mpumalanga ZA (800x599)

Joan made the most awesome tour guide. She should be working in the bush.

07 Albasini Ruins Kruger NP Mpumalanga ZA (800x600)

Visited the Albasini Ruins where Joao Albasini established one of the first European homestead/trading posts in the area during 1845.

Then left the park by the Phabeni gate.
