(Written on the 1st from notes taken previously) I was up and on the road relatively early, and gratefully undisturbed through the night. I'm really grateful to Wyoming for having these parking areas along the side of the highways. It really makes it easy for those of us who are self-contained. 🙏 My route today … Continue reading 2026-06-25 (Thursday) — A Little Templing, and a Reconnection

(written on July 1st 😅... from nose taken previously) I was up early, as I needed time to scout out the hike before even going to pick the kids up. But just choosing to do that brought with it a little bit of a dilemma: One of the rules for hiking is that, at least … Continue reading 2026-06-24 (Wednesday) — Pipsicle Slide Adventures

(written on the 29th and 30th and 1st from notes taken previously) After getting up at the parking area and moving the barrel that I'd put in the front seat back to the back, I decided to head up to the Walmart Supercenter in... Layton? Clearfield? 🤷, thinking maybe I could get another pair of … Continue reading 2026-06-23 (Tuesday) — French Kissing Practice

(written on the 23rd, 27th, 28th, and... 29th 😅 [good golly 😶] from notes taken previously) Well, I think I mentioned something about how I'd always had great luck crashing for the night at Maverik gas stations when traveling? Right. Well... 😅 Today was the first time I've ever been kicked out of a Maverik. … Continue reading 2026-06-22 (Monday) — Magical Mountain, Fabulous Family

Boy, was it was hot early. 😅 I've got to get myself in bed earlier, so I've gotten enough sleep when the morning heat comes radiating through the windows and walls. So far, though, it just isn't happening (It's after 1:00 in the morning right now 😬). It's been a great day, though. 🙏 I … Continue reading 2026-06-21 (Sunday) — Family 🥰

Not sure why it was different this morning, but the sun didn't heat up my van early? It wasn't because it was behind clouds. I figured that must be the case, but... no? 🙏 There was somebody parked next to me, though. I'm guessing they arrived sometime this morning? And they left not too long … Continue reading 2026-06-20 (Saturday) — 🌞 Light 🌞

(written on the 20th from notes taken yesterday) There's not a whole lot to write about today, as I didn't really do anything today. The darkness I allowed in after looking in the mirror following the endowment session yesterday held me with a firm grip today, and I didn't overcome it at any point from … Continue reading 2026-06-19 (Friday) — Mountain Paralytic

(written on the 19th from notes taken yesterday) I was grateful to get good sleep last night and also to have a night that featured almost no pain. 🙏 Rover began heating up very quickly in the morning Sun, so I didn't hang out for very long where I was. I did a several point … Continue reading 2026-06-18 (Thursday) — Dino Day

(written on the 18th) Gratefully, I was undisturbed in my little spot at the intersection of a main dirt road and what looked like a significantly lesser used dirt road. It was a skinny road, so I was slightly worried about being in someone's way if by chance someone happened to be on the road … Continue reading 2026-06-17 (Wednesday) — Petroglyphed

Today feels like it's been two or three days. 🙃 I like being back out on the road. I love the freedom and adventure of going wherever I want to go whenever I want to go there. Having stopped earlier than normal last night, I had a little bit longer of a drive this morning … Continue reading 2026-06-16 (Tuesday) — Temple Light 🙏
