 ​This is it!  We've sold our house and made the plunge into full-timing :) After living in our

home for 33 years we've managed to downsize to our "Cassie" and "Mac" (Move Along

​ Cassidy-truck).  We hope you enjoy our adventures along with us.

Buffalo Gap National Grasslands, somewhere in the Bad Lands of South Dakota...

I'll be the first to admit I have become too dependent on electricity.  Out here we have none, along with no water, no bathrooms, no generator....and we're loving every minute of it in spite of 98 degree temps outside and inside the trailer, and no shade whatsoever!  The shade situation has changed as we put up our tent and it makes quite a difference :)  The 1 lone 98 degree day was immediately followed by 56 degree temps the following morning, and we were freezing, lol!  Seems like I'm complaining about everything :)  But I'm not.  We're not totally "off the grid" as we have a verizon signal and thus, internet.  Our solar panel is happily recharging our battery, come on sun!  Our fresh water tank WAS full until half was dispatched to our gray water tank via 2 showers this morning......YAYYYYYYYY!!!  We'll reload a 5 gallon water jug from somewhere for another shower in a couple of days.  Meanwhile, Friday's temps will be over 100!  The plan is to stay for a week but maybe we'll stay longer, it all depends on my wonderful booking agent.  Kidding aside, this is one beautiful place and we are very blessed to witness it.  No pictures I take seem to capture it's essence.  In spite of numerous campers around, some with generators humming throughout the day, it is a very peaceful and relaxing visit.  And, God willing, we'll be back for another visit someday.

Wendy sits with her back against the trailer as she looks at the front door view.

As you can tell, we are close to the edge on 2 fronts!

Wen comes up with an idea!!!

If we can move one of those trees to the west side of the trailer, we'll be set!

It was a "no go"  :)

Mornings around are very beautiful and very chilly...

We get an occasional visitor every once in a while :)

This person missed an opportunity as a visitor leisurely ambled up the cliff and stood for a good 5 minutes watching her.  Luckily the next door neighbor informed her of the event and she was then able to enjoy the visit!

The park does get a fair share of campers each day.  This view shows a mile or so in one direction and in the other direction the road winds another 1 1/2  miles.
