Exploring the neighborhood – Mount Charleston
One of the many reasons Cari and I chose Pahrump Nevada as a home base was its proximity to various outdoor activities, along with being a convenient stopping point between northern and southern destinations and family visits. And the great views from the property. One such outdoor destination is Mount Charleston, located just east of…
Alaskan Truck Camper visit and PNW summer
On June 15th we headed north in the Promaster on what would be a four month Solo trip leaving the Chevy in southern Nevada. During the drive north, on a lonely 2 lane Nevada highway, we had what we are calling our Turkey Vulture episode. Cari was driving the Promaster at the speed limit when…
Overland Expo and beyond
The idea of attending the Overland Expo in Flagstaff Arizona has been on Cari’s and my bucket list for a decade, and in May of 2019 we found ourselves with our daughter exploring the Expo during its tenth anniversary. Cari and I contacted Rochelle, currently living in Phoenix who is all about overland rigs and…

Pahrump NV south to Vicksburg AZ
As I type Cari & I’ve been retired for 3 months, and it seems like a lifetime ago!Gone are the alarm clocks and early rise of a workday, vegging out in front of a wall sized TV to de-stress after a day’s work. In fact we have not watched any TV or movies except for…
Lovell Canyon NV 2018
A couple weeks ago Cari and I drove both vans to Las Vegas to get anti-theft Revelco units installed in both vans. The 3 hour install was successful and we headed to a Natural Grocers in town to stock up on some not-found-in Pahrump items (for those who haven’t followed to date we are now…
