It’s late morning and life is predictable here in Duchesne Utah and at the Black Sheep Coffee Shop… The regulars shuffle in. Sonora, the owner of Black Sheep Coffee is hard at work making great coffee drinks (really!) and the wifi is FAST. Not bad for the frontier eh? Enjoy this interview with Sonora, a …
A return to camping at Starvation State Park in Duchesne, Utah On Wednesday 10/16 I left Vernal, about 60 miles east of Duchesne. I’ve been staying in Vernal for the past couple of weeks. As with past stays, I paddled, biked and swam. Pelican Lake and the Brough Reservoir were my water bodies of choice …
Boondocking with your RV camper (of any type) is WORTH THE EFFORT! Considering how things are heading in our nation, the ability to survive (and thrive) in remote areas is definitely something I’ve spent lots of time thinking about (and taking steps towards.)

They were light accumulations, however it definitely whitened …
OR… what you CAN and CAN NOT add when using JD Power to establish the value of an RV Camper… I was trying to learn for one of my clients the REAL condition of a camper and whether the selling dealer was prepared to sell at a realistic price. What he told me both floored …
It’s August 8th. It was 49F this morning. Not an unusual early morning temperature for Summer in the RV Park here in Anaconda, Montana. That’s one thing I love about Summer in the intermountain west. Low humidity allows for significant cooling overnight. That’s a big contrast from my “former life” in New Jersey where you …
First a bit about me… I created this website to chronicle my travels since hitting the road in December 2011. Living in my camper as a full timer now for nearly 13 years. From 2014 through 2018, I worked part of each year for an RV dealer in Casper, Wyoming. During my “stay”, I worked …
