New Year’s Eve morning was the end of my month long stay in Powell, Wy. It was also -10F. The car’s battery was not happy about being nudged awake after a month of little use. That feeling of relief that only someone driving an old car while living in the path of arctic winds can understand washed over me as…

One More Cup Of Coffee
It is late November and the road to camp ices over every night now. Only to melt out to a simultaneously slippery and sticky mud by the afternoon. t the risk of being overly dramatic, I have to say it is a difficult effort and a bit unsafe. I know because I have walked it 4 times yesterday and 2…
I’m alright
It finally happened, third times a charm, I finally got all my forms together and my application for a build permit for a small cabin was accepted. It takes a real load off since my well permit was going to expire in Mid November and I was going to have to go through a load of bureaucracy (and a bit…
Its A Long Way To the Top
I finally got all my cameras powered up and an SD cards with enough space to record a video of the drive up to my property. I only have rudimentary editing software so let me know if it sucks. YouTube said this video violates copyright laws so they wouldn’t let me post it in my preferred form. So the legal…
Tell It To The Bone Digger
Not being much of a farmer, I really don’t know how big an acre actually is. I have tried to find a comparison that I can relate to. In my DuckDuck Go efforts (cause I don’t want the Google overlords to know that I am spatially unaware), I have earned that it is very similar to a football field. Being…
Let it Snow
I arrived in the area on Jan 24th hoping to get up to the property to see how it was holding up. I procrastinated a bit over in a cheap Ellensburg hotel for a week. A week got extended to 2 then 3 weeks. Laying in bed eating Lean Cuisines and catching up on continuous episodes of Law and Order…
Memories that come at night
There is some snow blowing into central Washington this weekend and based on the a weatherman’s frantic predictions, it’s going to be the worst one ever. With that in mind, I am getting ready to head up to the property where I am sure birds are chirping and balmy breezes are blowing. The internet access isn’t so good, though. Updating…
The Stars Are Stacked Against You
One of the chores I had to do before I left in October was to find a place to store my car. I found cheap storage in a pallet making factory on Cleveland’s East side. Figuring out how to pick it up weighed heavy on my mind the final few days of my trip. For some reason it was pretty…
Just Too Friggin’ Old
The overnight bus to Bucharest, Romania wasn’t quite overnight. It dropped me off in the city center long before sunrise and Bucharest is not a 24 hour town that I was finding. I definitely was not rested because the first thing I really remember was being the first customer at coffee shop on an otherwise dark and lonely street. My google…
