Friday 5/3 Alamogordo NM - City of Rocks, NM We said our goodbyes (see you laters) to pudgealamo with a last breakfast in White Sands. Our pancakes were more bitter than sweet.

Sunday 4/28 Marathon, TX - Guadalupe Mountains National Park, TX I’ve camped a few places in and around Big Bend, and the Marathon Motel and Park might well be my favorite.

I feel some very some powerful, territorial identification with the place, probably bread into me through UT Football games, good barbeque, and country music. I confess that I am mildly embarrassed of this feeling. That does not make it … Continue reading The Daily – Loner Star
Wednesday 4/10 De Soto National Forest Mississippi - New Orleans, Louisiana Some days are easy and some days are hard, but sometimes you’re ready and sometimes you’re not and this complicates.

Sunday 4/7 Chattahoochee Natl Forest, GA - Talladega Natl Forest, AL If you’re lucky, easy days are followed by easy mornings. For most people, this occurs on Sundays when they’re too broke to drink on Saturday. Somehow, it was a Sunday in Chattachoochee National Forest. Lukas cooked eggs and potatoes for our creekside brunch whilst … Continue reading The Daily – Blood

Long robes, ominous voices, and soundtracks which heavily feature minor major seventh chords help a great deal, but without the fog machine, there’s really no point in even writing the prophetic vision sequence. … Continue reading The Daily – Dreamy
