It’s amazing how God answered when there’s no way to figure out the answer to your need and you turn to God waiting in expectation of his provision. I knew that he would provide a place for us, which he did. We met with a rancher last night who is willing to let us live…

Full moon rising Wesley and I were discussing last night what changes we noticed since we’ve started doing mold avoidance. I know these are some of the things that you guys probably wonder as well. I will start with a change that I noticed when we went camping in Idaho and Montana back in August…

I’m not very faithful at making these postS. So a lot has happened since I last posted. That rainy Monday afternoon turned into an early retreat to bed because it was cold and rainy. We went into the tent and snuggled up at 5:30 PM and it proceeded to rain and snow all over the…

I love rain. I really do. I really don’t love rain when I’m camping. Well actually I really don’t love rain when I’m camping and it’s windy and it’s below 40°. Wesley and I went to bed at 5:30 tonight because it’s cold. We’re very warm under our covers right now, and thus far the…

Sorry about not being more faithful with this blog. We’ve not done much outside of the usual cooking, laundry, walking, and going to the store. Yesterday we intended to stay around camp, but the canopy tent we bought at Walmart that I deemed questionable the day before ended up very contaminated. The losses were minimal:…

We spent all yesterday lounging around camp so today we decided to get some exercise. After breakfast, and the usual morning preparations, we walked down to the Three Rivers Petroglyphs site. We saw some ruins of villages from 1000 years ago and petroglyphs (ancient graphiti). The petroglyphs are all on top of a foot hill…

Sorry I didn’t get anything posted the past few days. I got locked out and didn’t feel like figuring out how to change my password in the midst of all the other changes going on. We’re finally settled and able to catch up. This was written over two days and I didn’t go back to…

We decided that one of the things we wanted to do while we were back in Albuquerque was to shop for a truck. Our experience with the Amazon package contaminating everything made it more obvious that a truck could be a really great option. We also wanted to get a truck because we can get…

Yesterday we got some packages from Amazon thinking we would make our lives easier, but it’s not at all what happened. Instead we got packages from Amazon that were contaminated with toxins that made us violently ill. The BLM (bureau of land management) land that we were so excited about that we had scoped out…

Great news! We went exploring today and found a new place to stay. It’s on BLM land so we can stay up to 14 days. It’s lots warmer around 2500 feet lower! The car said 87 today as we were driving around. I got all the laundry done so we’re ready to pack up camp,…
