Last week we spent 2 nights at Angel Lake high in the Ruby Mountains. It was beautiful and surprising given that generally our excursions across Nevada on I-80 are done as quickly as possible due to the lack of scenery. The Ruby Mountains, however, are definitely not lacking in scenery. Located south of Wells, foraging…
We already had a great storage system in place before we started this whole downsizing thing, so I just kept the system. If it’s not broken, don’t fix it, right? We have 38 tubs all purchased at various times from Lowe’s and each one has a number that coordinates to a spreadsheet in Google Docs….
As you can imagine things have been a bit crazy around here. We have been working like crazy people trying to sell the rest of our belongings, as well as finishing up projects in the Airstream. Here’s a look at our progress on the house, and what we still need to accomplish by FRIDAY! Ahhhh!…
So exciting! I honestly think getting rid of things is a bigger rush than buying them! We have very similar plans for our family but we’re about a year behind. Next summer, plan is to sell the house, ditch our junk, and hit the road in our 1966 Land Yacht! Love reading your blog & knowing we’re not totally insane! (Or perhaps we’re both insane… just not alone!)ReplyCancel
While getting the truck ready for traveling, I added a locking Tonneau Truck Bed Cover, and I needed a way to lock the tailgate to create a safe place to store stuff. While tailgate and truck bed covers are not perfect protection, they certainly go a long way to making it really inconvenient to dig through…
Months ago, I backed a KickStarter project called Robot Turtles, a board game designed to teach kids fundamental concepts of programming. I had been thinking about using programming as part of our home school curriculum, and this was a great place to start. We received Robot Turtles just before Christmas, and it was one of…
So in the Oquirrh mountains there is one even worse I would say. It is going up to Butterfield Canyon (I think). It is just as steep as a drop off and no guard rails – BUT a dirt road and only one lane – so if a car comes the other way one has to try and scoot up against the mountain and the other goes as close to the edge as they can. We tried it once and only made it half way before I insisted that we turn around because I was sure we were going to die. I heard the views are worth it – but some things are definitely not worth it. If you like adventure you should try it next time you are in Utah. 🙂
How funny! I only ever went up Butterfield canyon once. In high school. With a boy. The views were pretty amazing but I didn’t pay attention much to the road!!
Eeeeek!! That is quite the adventure. Your videos are so fun and a great peek into your excursions.
Beautiful pics!
