This cattle water tank was my first Actifit walkin' destination. Actually, went past before I doubled back ta camp. Let me tell you what: Since Vanholio's been on the road, he's seen more solar and wind

Cookes Range, Deming, New Mexico, USA

Vanholio's been thinkin' an' itchin' at the feet. Six months'n more Texas housebound's got him ready ta Go Big and Go Alaska! Plan is ta meander toward British Columbia and Alaska late March, early April.

These newfangled drink machines are genius! Amiright!?

Why, if it's a little warmer tomorrow, Vanholio might even wash the stink off hisself!

Feelin' rich and self-indulgent!

Peek inta the seedy world a street walkers and brothel babes. 8 girls on 3 continents. All told in Vanholio's Texas drawl and off-beat humor. 99% true! Only the names been changed ta protect the guilty.

Enjoyin' my camp's view a the snowcap Mogollon Range. That tallest peak is 'bout 47 miles (75 km) as the crow flies. Twice that ta drive, not that you'll make it up them peaks in anythin' but snowshoes.

Fuck Texas! And fuck house imprisonment! Vanholio's got his dump on the market and's already hit the fuckin' road, Ya'll. If ya read my last post 6 month ago, ya know that I'd decided to settle for a while

Won't beat around the fuckin' bush: Vanholio's outta vanlife for the near future. He's done moved back to his ol' sticks'n bricks. Deal with it! Why? Well, it's pretty much what I said in my post a month

One cheap way ta wash your laundry when vandwelling is with a 5 gallon bucket and a toilet plunger. Just started doin' this last week. Works great! Here's how. The basic formula is ya get a 5 gallon bucket.

I think we all got that one buddy who drives around with a bomb in the back seat. Amiright!?

Well, as long as I got a kitchen for the time bein', I figured I might as well enjoy it. Easy damn recipe: One a these days, I'm gonna try this out in tin foil for the road.

Circumstance has got Vanholio off the vanlife road and sweatin' in South Texas – maybe permanent! For the next month or two, he's playin' Mr. Handyman. Probably won't be updatin' this blog, neither. Fixin'

White chocolate cherry pie, if the curiosity is killin' ya. Made by The Gatherin' Place in Pie Town, New Mexico – a town of three pie shops on US 60, and that's mostly all. Well, there's also an RV park

Up close on one antenna of the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VKA) on the Plains of San Agustin, New Mexico, along US 60. Yeah, this was the place in Contact with Jodie Foster. That sonofabitchin dish

Vicki at Gypsy Clipper's (@gypsyclipper) been learnin' Vanholio on vanlife sproutin'. Sprouted beans, grains, nuts, and veggies is easier ta digest, less farty, and more vitamin packed than dry. Real easy

Just peaceful as shit. Saw an elk a few minutes ago, too!

West side of the Magdalena Mountains in Cibola National Forest (New Mexico USA). Early mornin', south a town, and lookin' south over a wide valley. Just ta get ya know, if you're a USA citizen, you own
