I’ve landed at Station Minas Tirith and will be docked for about two months for repairs and upgrades. My first night back and I was treated to warm hugs, whisky, and cards.

I forgot to update my GPS from the generic town name to the actual location of my Harvest Host, which led for a very hilarious. “Wait which church am I staying at moment?”

Louisiana highway patrol vehicles are sneaky as fuck. They just look like regular old white SUVs except for a very tiny logo on the side.

It’s been a year since we hit the road. It feels like it’s gone by in the blink of an eye but I’ve had so many amazing adventures along the way. This is just a tiny peek at what and where I’ve been. It’s always an adventure and I can’t wait for what comes next.

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends.
But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month.
See you soon, NYC.

When it came to moving into Addie I chose adventure over “insta” worthy, functional now over finished details. That’s not the right pick for everyone but I’ve meet a lot more nomads in similar builds and I don’t think it gets enough screen time. So here’s a messy mid project pic for you.

To the Q:
Scars are permanent, but the roads won’t be.
These’d mostly be temporary logging roads or perhaps, in some cases, permitted access roads for wealthy people, like that rich jerk, helicopter harasser dude (Boren) who want a road to their house across a formerly roadless area.

My dumb logistical question about this: how are they going to maintain these roads when 25% of USFS is gone and the RIFs have not even started.

I’m with Luke.
Luke is so mad about the Administration’s slashing funding and manpower to maintain National Parks. I am with Luke, National Parks belong to all of us.

The U.S. Senate is currently considering a budget reconciliation bill that quietly includes language that could devastate our public lands. It would:
- Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale
- Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land
- Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale
- Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land

Beyond your absolute disregard for my rights you put me and my dog in danger by swerving towards us to yell out your window that you don’t take pets. I said he is a service dog and you yelled “doesn’t matter”. I hate to tell you it absolutely does.
