Alabama Hills

2018 West, Alabama Hills BLM-California, California, National Parks, Road Trip, States

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!

      It might be our all time favorite campsite. That said, our time with you was definitely one of the high points of our trip.

Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.

Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream. In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.

London’s National Portrait Gallery’s temporary exhibition, “Six Lives: The Stories of Henry VIII’s Queens” presents an amazing collection of portraits, jewelry, personal effects, books, costumes, and more to illustrate not only the lives of the six women who married the second Tudor king, but the effort across five centuries to keep their memory alive.
