It’s our Dispersed Camping Debut! It’s next step in our growth in off grid camping skills. We’re in the Alabama Hills BLM east of Lone Pine, California. It’s our first Bureau of Land Management (BLM Lands) experience. According to at least one T@B owner who’s done a lot of dispersed camping, we’re finally officially “boondocking”. Our site is not far off the road and even with that we’re glad we were pulling with an F-150! There are others camping nearby but not in direct line of sight so it still feels pretty private. With solar panels deployed and plenty of sunshine, a full freshwater tank, and seven gallons of drinking water, we’re set for a few days of relaxation or exploration or whatever tickles our fancy! Big thanks to Nathan at the Eastern Sierra Visitor Center for pointing us in the direction of his favorite area off of Movie Drive and encouraging us to make the step!
Aboard the Norwegian Jewel we’ve made stops in Cozumel, Mexico and Georgetown, Grand Cayman to explore beyond our previous experiences here. Soon we’ll be making our way to ports we’ve not yet explored in the Southern Caribbean.
What a treat to pause for a BBQ lunch with the locals at Pearl Country Store and Barbecue on US-441 in Micanopy, Florida. It’s a taste of the Florida we remeber from our youth.
By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
That looks awesome!
So happy for you to be enjoying the immensely great out doors!
It might be our all time favorite campsite. That said, our time with you was definitely one of the high points of our trip.
