Solar Eclipse Gathering on Solar Hill
We really enjoyed having everyone over to watch the solar eclipse. The Mallincam Outreach Kit with an HD-10 camera was great. Here are a few shots of our get-together:
Solar Hill’s Solar Eclipse Gathering
f We are still out on Solar Hill at the Cayuse Ranch with Eddie, Aileen and Laura Glonek. Jesse & Kim Flores have been here the whole time. However, they are getting ready to head out soon. Thierry, Nicole and Ben Juliard were here when we arrived. They left about two weeks ago for San …
So… When are you going to make videos?
Last night, Brenda and I walked up a hilltop near Garvy (Geology and Astronomy RV Journey) to watch the sunset at the Cayuse Ranch. It was fitting for Brenda. She just returned from the last event as an official employee of Club Scrap. Brenda was with Club Scrap for fourteen or fifteen years. These are …
Extending Our Ability To Off-Grid RV
We are hoping to get to some really dark skies for amateur visual astronomy. We would like to spend time truly taking in some of the amazing geology of North America. This is a picture of “Solar Hill” at the Cayuse Ranch in Wyoming. This is where we are currently staying. We’ve talked …
If you take the time to look
Sunlight comes early to the Wyoming land, making 5:30 a.m. as bright as noon. This morning, John and I made coffee and sat outside, enjoying the brisk breeze. It has been hot since we arrived, and the coolness was a welcome respite from the warm daytime temperatures. I had my binoculars in hand, scanning the …
Learning to slow down and enjoy those you meet along the way.
We are getting ready to head to Wyoming on Monday. I am looking forward to meeting the Glonek family. Eddie Glonek of Mobile Homestead Solar Services and I have been planning this for quite some time. Eddie will primarily be putting a solar system on our rig. However, there is so much more that we …
A quick update on our MS-325 Solar Trailer
Travis Semmes from Mobile Solar Services snapped a few pictures of our MS-325 solar trailer as it is being built. Our trailer is black in color to match the rest of our vehicles. The trailer will be a little longer than the base model (in the other pictures). If you look at the base model …
Left turn at Albuquerque…
In previous posts I made sure to use phrases like, “this is what our first year would look like” and “it could go like this”. We are in the very tentative stages of planning the route. It is all very general and broad right now. The plan still is to follow the 70-degree weather north …
Moving in and setting up… a little each day
This is our sixth day in the RV “full-time”. Until now, we only stayed overnight a few times. Those days were simply visits while bringing our belongings to the RV (Garvy). Brenda wanted to make sure we had a month of actually living in Garvy before leaving for Wyoming on July 3rd. What about your …
Deciding our route based on 70-degree weather
So here is an overview for what the first year could look like. We decided to make our first summer to winter trek from: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada to Tampico, Tamaulipas, Mexico. This would basically cover: North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. We have a lot to learn this first year. This route …
