Off The Grid Living: Grand Canyon - Wednesday March 13th!
http://jim-off-the-grid.blogspot.com/2013/03/grand-canyon-wednesday-march-13th.html
Grand Canyon - Wednesday March 13th! Finally took the drive from Kingman over to Grand Canyon National Park the South Rim. It was about a 166 mile drive! I did manage a couple pictures so here we go! When I left, I decided to stop in Williams at the drive through animal park again to see if I could get some better pictures of the Canadian Lynx and I did, but that is for tomorrow! Of course that is just my biased opinion, but it is my blog, so tough! Stay tuned, more tomorrow! Capt Jim - "The Gypsy".

The trip so far in a slide show. Enjoy the pics - they are in the order taken. March 5th and 6th - Leaving Moab area. Before leaving the Moab area on Tuesday the 5th of March, I decided a late afternoon trip into Arches was a worthy effort. Spent the morning getting the trailer ready to travel and for some remote camping, so filled the water tank, emptied the waste tanks and got everything put away and ready for the ride towards Grand Junction Colorado. But here are a few shots from Arches National Park.

Off The Grid Living: Road Trip with stop at Valley of Fire State Park
http://jim-off-the-grid.blogspot.com/2013/03/road-trip-with-stop-at-valley-of-fire.html
Road Trip with stop at Valley of Fire State Park. For those who really give a shit - the Ultrasound results were fantastic - no change since last year, increased blood flow and no sign of any further restrictions. So Doc says I am doing well, letter off to the USCG and they will be happy to know I shouldn't have any problems and be good until next years check again! So up early and awoke to a wonderful sunrise! Then on to the trail to the "Fire Wave"! Finally at the "Fire Wave". Capt Jim - "The Gypsy".

Vacation Update - Day 12 and 13 - Indian Petroglyphs and Zions. I decided what the hell and figured if we got stuck, we got stuck and since my truck is a 1997 with plenty of nicks and dings, how bad could it be? Little did I know. After we arrived at the trailhead, the short moderatly strenuous hike turned into a major climb down the 1.5 mile round trip had a 1600 foot drop and then climb back up, so I went about half way and Pat continued on down. Here are a few of the Petroglyphs she got to see! Vacati...

Weekly Update - A Few Conveniences. However having good friends in high places can sometimes be beneficial and since I sometimes teach classes using this software I was able to secure a Student Teacher edition at a much reduced cost! So now I am operating with the latest version of Creative Suite and finally able to get back to work on some projects I have had to put on hold and also now have the ability to process some recent photos to make the blog interesting. Amazing how something so simple can remov...

Book Final and Ready to Order! Two days ago I finally received all three copies of my latest book of my Winter Travels. The hardbound versions are better than the soft cover version, since the book is only 20 pages thick the soft cover is a little thin. I am working now on a larger (Thicker - more pages) version focusing specifically on the Red Rock area of Southern Utah, Arizona and Nevada. I hope to have it available later this summer.

6 Hours for nothing! Road Trip from Hell! Mans best laid plans get changed due to major weather system! I awoke yesterday bright and early with plans to drive from where I am staying in Oregon to have the hitch installed in the truck and pick up my 5th wheel in Tacoma. From where I am it is a 2.5 hour drive, so I left before it was light in rain and headed North. Then back down in Oregon - with today planned to wait until Monday and then head back up and get my goal accomplished. I find it amazing that I...
