Day 2023006!

Saturday, January 7, 2023

Our first home cooked dinner in the Trailer since we came down…almost…it was something frozen the Dailylife Wife brought down with us…Fiesta Chicken from our Instantpot!  Still delicious! Vertical iPhone Panorama…I will work on Zone of Acceptable Sharpness (Depth of Field!)… I filled the truck up at $3.13/gallon.  We got 9.6MPG, but there was about […]

Day 202305 – A short Day! And Post! At least compared to yesterday’s three…

Thursday, January 5, 2023

We got off about 9am heading East towards Flagstaff on I-40.  This is one of the roughest roads I have ever driven on that was considered to be paved! But the road stayed bare of snow and ice…just truck after truck after truck… I had to speed up a bit to keep from being a […]

Day 2023004…Part 3…Feed Me!

Wednesday, January 4, 2023

(Photos by the Dailylife Wife and me!) Last year late in our stay the Dailylife Wife heard about Oatman and wanted to go see it. https://www.amusingplanet.com/2017/03/the-wild-burros-of-oatman-arizona.html It was too late and too far for a quick trip last year, but I recalled it was somewhere around Kingman, or at least a lot closer than to […]

Day 2023004…Part 2…Rough Country!

Wednesday, January 4, 2023

Las Vegas was a trial…finding a gas station that could accept my truck AND trailer…we ended up driving all the way to Kingman on that tank! Speaking of gas, this trip has been…weird?  Phenomenal?  Our first tank, from Great Falls to rocker we got 8.2MPG.  That is really good, particularly pulling the trailer through the […]

Day 2023004…Part 1…Uh oh…

Wednesday, January 4, 2023

We woke up fairly early, planning on maybe going all the way.  That dream ending quickly when we took the luggage out to the truck.  Nada.  No clicker for the door, no ummph from the ignition.  Someone left their electric baked potato warmer plugged in all night.  Back to breakfast and a call to AAA.  […]

Day 2023003!

Wednesday, January 4, 2023

Morning came way too early for some of us… Then it was out to brush snow and warm up the truck. (Photo by the Dailylife Wife!) A dreary start to the day, deliberately late so as to miss the Salt Lake City morning rush hour.  We did encounter this interesting steam/smoke column near Lehi… (Photos […]

Day 2023002! On the Road to Morocc…err, Arizona!

Monday, January 2, 2023

We got off in good time today: 7:05am!  A quick stop at Hardee’s for breakfast.  There was no way they want to let that trailer go through McDonalds! Heading down the hill into the Sun and the Helena Valley. At the South end of Elk Park, before heading down the hill into Butte, there were […]

Day 2023001!

Monday, January 2, 2023

Happy New Year! We are packing up to head south once again.  It looks like we may have a three or four day window without too much severe weather to tow through.  If you look at the open compartment, that is our outdoor kitchen.  That we never use.  I removed the refrigerator and ice maker […]
