Catching up : Marble Canyon to Kodachrome Basin State Park

Catching up : Marble Canyon to Kodachrome Basin State Park

It’s been awhile since I posted about my travels. I’ve done a lot! I’ve been worried about Pugsly for a little while, so my motivation to post has been low. Honestly, I’m not much in a storytelling mode. I miss my Pugsly and am sad and tired. When I left Tuweep (North Rim Grand Canyon) last week, I knew I needed to get back to Pugsly’s vet and friends. I headed back to Prescott, Arizona, which is where I am…

R.I.P. sweet Pugsly. April 3, 2017

Security or Freedom?

(Osceola National Forest, Florida. Hog Pen Campground, on Ocean Pond) There is a quote that is usually attributed to Ben Franklin that most of us have heard in context of political discussion, “those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither.” The other day I was driving along thinking about the prospect of getting a jobby job vs continuing on the road. I need to have income within a month or two or I’ll…

Hot Rod Pug!

Hot Rod Pug! Videos of Pugsly in her new wheelchair that my friend Brandon made for her when I was visiting in Bluffton, South Carolina last week! A series of five or so short vids. 🙂 She can still gimp around, but this helps her go for distance and frees her up to go faster! Whee!
