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- Black Mountains

01 Black Mts NE from Lake Mead NRA Colorado R frontage road N of Bullhead City AZ (1024x372)

On the way to Laughlin, Nevada--not to gamble--ambled along a Colorado River frontage road just north of Bullhead City, Arizona and remembered to look away from the river for a panoramic view of the Black Mountains and sky above.  (Post coming soon about this journey.)

SWF-Cloud shadows

01 Cloud Shadows on Weaver Mts SR89 Congress AZ pano (1024x429)
After a visit with fellow bloggers RV Sue and the Bayfield Bunch, and a stop at the Post Office Cafe for lunch, the Yarnell hill called me back home and I saw this on the way.

Celebrate International Women’s Day  today.  “In 1910 the second International Conference of Working Women was held in Copenhagen. A woman named Clara Zetkin a (Leader of the 'Women's Office' for the Social Democratic Party in Germany) tabled the idea of an International Women's Day. She proposed that every year in every country there should be a celebration on the same day - a Women's Day - to press for their demands. The conference of over 100 women from 17 countries, representing unions, socialist parties, working women's clubs, and including the first three women elected to the Finnish parliament, greeted Zetkin's suggestion with unanimous approval and thus International Women's Day was the result.”
Many women have influenced my life.  My dear friend Berta being just one.  Today she is having shoulder surgery so please keep her in your thoughts.  Thanks.

The end of January, I was returning home from Grand Canyon, and when I drive alone I take lots of photos. There’s always a good bit of sky.

We’ve been parked in Kanab for a week now and still haven’t been bothered by anyone from the cemetery behind us. Hopefully we’ll be out of here before Halloween so as not to press our luck.
