Photo Blog with Waterfalls, Hiking, Outdoors, and other Adventures
Tonight’s campground was a happy accident – I didn’t intend to end up here, I was just driving north towards home and this was the best stopping point I could find. Truth be told I knew nothing about the site; it was a road sign that led me here as the daylight was fading. That … Read more
The heat today was a problem; not only that, a few of the other spots I checked out had dried-up streams meaning no waterfalls meaning nothing to share. Fall colors are fading. And I was running out of time quickly so I couldn’t reasonably stay down south to explore the Ozarks further on this trip. … Read more
I don’t have a ton of photos from my time visiting family in Las Cruces. Mostly we sat around, talked and caught-up on life, and basically just ate a ton of delicious food. One particular night we were headed to get Thai food and ran into some heavy localized rain which is of course it … Read more
Did some more driving around and OHV exploration just for the sake of seeing new things. We’ve always known there are some trails at the Prehistoric Trackways National Monument but never had a vehicle that suited for these kinds of adventures. Long story short that didn’t matter because these trails are a bit confusing on … Read more
I don’t have many photos from my time visiting family in Las Cruces as I was focused on enjoying our time together and not photography. Didn’t come away empty-handed though: My concerns about allergies to their cats led me to test out alternate lodging options, and my dispersed camp in the BLM land off Baylor … Read more
There’s good reason why I prefer not to plan my solo road trips. Yes, there are times when the chaos ends in sub-optimal results. Other times though, you get to do things you wouldn’t normally see otherwise. Case-in-point: Upon leaving El Morro my only destination was “head east back towards ABQ”. I had no idea … Read more
Heading west from Grants, New Mexico on I-40 and absolutely loving the scenery as the sun fades on the day. Huge red sandstone cliffs are to the north of the interstate and I didn’t know at the time but this is the southern terminus of the Colorado Plateau. Most of this area is also Navajo … Read more
Welcome to the start of my 2024 road trip that spans almost the entire month of October. I’ve basically taken no vacation this year and had nothing in specific in mind this year, so figured what better to do than become a willing nomad in search of some good old fashioned American road trip adventure. … Read more
Heading out from camp at Wyalusing State Park we quickly encountered some ominus rain clouds. We often joke that it wouldn’t be one of our normal outings if rain wasn’t involved (oh, if you only knew how true this is). Today we were actually welcoming precipitation to keep down the dust on gravel roads. Crossing … Read more
Back in summer of 2020 I bought a Toyota Tacoma with the intention of being able to explore deeper into places that my other cars & small SUVs wouldn’t allow. After over a year of maintenance, planning, and building it up I was able to join a group from the Tacoma World forums on a … Read more
