  • VanFest

    26–30 Eki 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☀️ 70 °F

    We had the honor of leading Somatic Sharing and yoga for VanFest in Hurricane, UT. So after resupplying in town, we headed in to help set-up on Thursday. As the forecast has done windy conditions, we filled sandbags with rocks to hold down the tents. Unfortunately we were to busy socializing to take many pictures, but during the full moon rising, grammy-nominated South for Winter played "How the Mountain" (loves the moon), we took a video and where you can here the wind and they and Shelby Catlett took the photos of the yoga. We also loved all the great musicians that played and meeting lots of nomads and those thinking about it. Bliss Bus received 3 best in show votes! Total 26 miles and $56.Okumaya devam et

  • St George, UT

    30–31 Eki 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☀️ 63 °F

    ResoNate got a new phone, we ate Blaze Pizza, and ice cream in St George, so it was a great day!. Our errands took a bit longer than expected so we walked the Tonaquint nature center next to the cemetery decorated for Halloween, botanical gardens, and all abilities park and stayed in town at the overlook. We missed out on the lit scarecrows and haunted cavern but checked them out in the morning. Total 26 miles and $84.35.Okumaya devam et

  • Valley of Fire State Park

    1 Kasım 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri

    We were up and out by 7 am, a few minutes drive to us to the Valley of Fire East entrance. We used the bathrooms and paid for our pass. Breakfast at the historic cabins. A stop at the visitors center where we learned we could still get a campsite. We found the perfect site #8 in Atlatl in a canyon. We climbed the rock before lunch and got hot showers.Okumaya devam et

  • Short hikes at Valley of Fire

    1 Kasım 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☀️ 72 °F

    We took Zumi for a tour of the park, riding around the scenic loop to see the beehives, Atlatl (a throwing stick used to give more power to darts) rock climbing the stairs to petroglyphs, petrified logs, rainbow vista, valley of fire overlook and Mouse's (an outlaw who hid out in the canyon) tank (a heart shaped pool with shadow of arch in opposite rock). It was close to 3 miles of hiking mostly through sand washes.Okumaya devam et

  • Atlatl campground site 8 Valley of Fire

    1–2 Kas 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ 🌙 66 °F

    We took advantage of the grate to grill sweet potatoes over the triple torch for stacking with avocados, tomatoes, and orange black bean sauce. Big horn sheep cage through camp at night. Unfortunately Duncan barked them up the hill. We climbed the rocks next to camp fire as epic sunrise. Then breakfast and more showers. Total 13 miles each on Bliss and Zumi and $25 for entrance and camping.Okumaya devam et

  • Lake Mead NRA

    2–5 Kas 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri

    We found a large campsite right over Lake Mead with lovely views and epic sunrises and sunsets. We really enjoyed our Timber Tote fires as there was little wood to be found and ResoNate entertained the neighbors spinning the dragonstaff. We had a bull and donkeys through camp. It was very relaxing aside from witnessing a rescue from the lake on Sunday afternoon. We loved the million dollar views and epic sunsets and rises. Total 32 miles.Okumaya devam et

  • Stuck on side of road

    5 Kasım 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ⛅ 68 °F

    Our tire snagged a screw and went flat here. Unfortunately with little shoulder and no service. A phone call to roadside assistance said it would be $384 for tow and they didn't have a shop that was open. We took Zumi down so ResoNate could find service and mobile tire repair and left call with friends in Henderson if they knew anyone. Connie and Ron packed the car and drove up an hour to help us. We didn't have the right tool to get the slime in the tire, so took it off and Sunshine rode with them an hour back to the Walmart tho have it fixed. ResoNate and Duncan explored the desert. We got the tire back on and were on the way at 4 pm. Thank you Connie and Ron for saving us!Okumaya devam et

  • Vegas aka city of Lost wages

    5–12 Kas 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ 🌙 64 °F

    After getting Bliss Bus moving again, we went to the Diwali celebration at ISKON temple. Darryl, Connie, Ron and Logan welcomed us into their home and Darryl helped us fix up the bus. We learned how to change brake pads, got 2 new front tires, new tire studs, installed a diesel heater and a back bumper storage rack (moving the propane outside). Duncan made friends with Poncho but not so much with another friend's Aikida who didn't like Duncan trying to dominate. Connie was an excellent nurse for Duncan's minor wounds! We also toured the Hoover Dam and Fremont St with Darryl. Thank you to our amazing hosts! 74 miles and $1192.82 and we didn't make up any gambling - losing additional $30 in 5 minutes of slots.Okumaya devam et

  • Copper Basin Rd Prescott NF Campsite

    15–18 Kas 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F

    Drove on some very rough road to get here. Passed this spot the first time through but had to turn around when road got too bad. Long day of driving slowly on back roads as checked out property along the way. Had to clean a fair amount of trash from fire pit but plenty of wood to keep warm at night. Peaceful and quiet and among trees, slackline is in use, and we hiked 5.5 mile loop from camp.🙏❤️🌲🏕️. 151 miles and $51.02 for groceries.Okumaya devam et

  • Cottonwood refresh

    18–22 Kas 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☀️ 63 °F

    On the way to Cottonwood, we stopped at Sharlot Hall Museum and Cornish Pasty Co in Jerome. We had another wonderful stay at John and Paula's Place of Place! Our friend Kim and her mom Kay, and dog Luna also live in the neighborhood and we enjoyed walking the foothills in the am together and Duncan loved playing with all of Luna's toys. ResoNate got a new toy, electric unicycle, delivered yet graciously helped fix the leaking water line of the fridge before playing. We always leave refreshed and full of love! 60 miles and $121.65 for gas, groceries and dining out.Okumaya devam et

  • Eye of Sandia Loop Trail

    23 Kasım 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F

    We split up the driving with a 4.48 mile 1403' elevation change loop hike in the Cibola NF only 1.5 miles from I-40 East of Albuquerque. It was a beautiful break, worlds apart from the city with a bit of rock scrambling. We didn't know what to expect but found the weeping eye a poignant reminder of native ancestors suffering so we can be grateful of what we have today. Then we saw 4 deer and Duncan was quiet and still on the trail. Thank you to all who have assisted us to this point and continue to support us as we build community!Okumaya devam et
