Neither one of us slept well last night—it was muggy and hot, the kind of night where you toss and turn until morning. We finally got up, made some coffee, and hit the road by 7:55 AM. To make the drive pass more easily, I threw on a podcast while we cruised along. Clifford needed …
We woke up at 6:30 AM to find new neighbors parked way too close for comfort. Ya got the whole forest to camp in, and they park right next to us! Gayla made a pot of fresh coffee, and that was enough to get me moving. We packed up slowly and were on the road …
After yesterday’s long day of work, driving, and general running around, Gayla and I were completely wiped out. We both slept like rocks. I woke up around 6:30 AM to the comforting smell of fresh coffee brewing. While sipping my cup, I did a little research on a few things for Clifford—always more to learn …
Last night gifted us an amazing sunset—brilliant streaks of color lit up the sky in every direction. We soaked it in, a perfect sendoff for another day on the road. We were up early this morning, around 5:10 AM. Gayla had a 6 AM video conference with her team back on the East Coast. While …
Last night brought light sprinkles that danced on top of Clifford’s roof, making for a peaceful and restful night’s sleep. We both woke up feeling refreshed and ready for the day. We were up semi-early and started the morning with hot coffee. Gayla had a few online presentations lined up, and I dove back into …
Last night around 9 PM, we took the dogs for a short walk around camp. Their noses were working overtime with all the new scents in the air. After we settled back in, Gayla prepped for her meetings coming up tomorrow while I spent some time digging into research on old Ford diesels. Just a …
(Somehow I miscounted—today is actually Day 40. Looks like I lost a day somewhere in the midst of the rendezvous.) Last night around 9 PM, while walking the dogs, the temperature dropped quickly down to 53.4°F. It didn’t get too chilly though—we slept with the windows open and the cool breeze made for a great …
Location: South of Red Mountain, Uinta-Wasatch National Forest Elevation: 9,060 ft Last night’s dog walk treated us to a sunset so vivid and painterly it could’ve been plucked from a Charlie Russell canvas—bold oranges and purples fading into the deepening sky. We woke to a crisp 48° inside Clifford. At this elevation, it made for …
We left Soda Lake behind and fueled up in Pinedale before heading toward Daniel, Wyoming. Along the way, we stopped to visit Horse Creek and the Green River Rendezvous site just outside of town. The area is steeped in history, and it felt fitting to stop and soak it in for a bit. After a …
We crawled into bed around midnight, local time, with the full moon blasting overhead. It was so bright it hardly felt like nighttime — more like standing in a quiet, silver daylight. At 6:30 AM, we were up again, greeted by a chilly 43° morning and a windchill that made it feel closer to 40°. …
