Wandering With Purpose

Jun 7

Stanley, Idaho

Saturday we visited Stanley, which is sometimes referred to as the gateway into the broader surrounding Sawtooth Mountains. The town itself is quite small – population 63 according to the city signage. As a metropolis, don’t expect much if you visit. However, one doesn’t visit Stanley for it’s urban experience – you go for the insane beauty completely surrounding the town.

We only dipped our toes into the area. There is a lot more to see and I hope to relocate to Stanley in the next week or two in order to more fully take in the area.

2nd Nomadiversary

IMG_0006 (1).jpg Earlier this week Kelly and I hit a milestone of sorts – 2 years living as full-time nomads with no permanent bricks & sticks home. Amazingly, we have been wandering for more than 730 days and along the way, have met so many wonderful people.

Thank you to everyone who has made this journey of ours so special.

Settling Into Utah

For the past 10 days we’ve been based in southwest Utah, near the town of Hurricane. In all honestly, not too much is happening that is not part of our normal routine, but we’ve managed to catch-up with a handful of fellow full-time travelers, some of whom have joined us here on the mesa.

We really like this part of the southwest. The area has a good vibe and is quickly grabbing hold of Kelly and me. And, coupled with a need to catch-up on some business travel from a conveniently located airport, I think we will stay here for another month, possibly longer.

In the process, we hope to visit Zion National Park at least once and I definitely plan to get in more time riding the world class mountain biking trails littering the area.

The Alabama Hills

For many years, many people talked affectionately about the the Alabama Hills, a range of hills and rock formations near the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada mountains that is managed by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.

Last week we set-up shop and found a fantastic boondocking spot. As is often the case, we didn’t get enough time to explore, but did get out when we could.

Visually, this area is amazing, huge boulders and and spires contrasting with the sharp ridges of the Sierra Nevada. Nothing I can say will fully do justice – one simply needs to visit and take the beauty with their own eyes. DSCF4109 DSCF4115 DSCF4108 DSCF4118 DSCF4127
