If you ride an e-bike with a LITHIUM battery, Mike Sokol of RV Electricity recently shared (via his email newsletter) an incident where the owners of a motorhome experienced a fire that virtually destroyed the camper. Fortunately, no one was injured or killed. The RV’s owners were not home at the time. What happened? The …
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.

AND… A truly inspiring drive at the end of a patriotic day I’m starting to write this post on August 29th. This past week in SW Montana saw our FIRST FREEZE (yep, in AUGUST), and many mountain tops saw their first accumulating snowfalls (yep, TWO of them!) They were light accumulations, however it definitely whitened …
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 …
