Teddy Bears
Today was a great time in the Cholla Cactus Garden inside Joshua Tree National Park.
These little buggers are extremely photographic, but boy, they can also be quite dangerous. Check out the gallery included with this post to see some of the wonderful photographs we captured on our journey.
Joshua Tree
We are spending a bit of time in Joshua Tree National Park so I just had to do some photography.
In today’s post, I’ll rant a little bit about Tree Huggers and will also share some epic photos from our past few days with you.
The Wildflower Hunt
If God so cares for the wildflowers…
Jesus’ words about worry are linked to the flowers. This adventure into the desert in search of the spring wildflowers has been very eye opening. I have been to many desert sin search of wildflowers but have never seen anything quite like what we witnessed at the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park last week. I wanted to not only share with you some of the photos I have taken while there, but also provide for you the video we produced and posted to our Youtube channel. You will find them all in this post.
Staying At the Salton Sea
Our time as workcampers has come to an end. We have left the Salton Sea area and begin our trek north through the deserts in pursuit of epic wildflower displays. Here are some photos from my time in the Salton Sea area.
Sin Blinds Us
We recently visited a hellscape in southern California called Slab city. A dark place inhabited seemingly by destitute drug addicts.
While we have little conclusive proof that all 160 or so “residents” were Meth heads, it surely was a “dark” place in which you could feel the evil all around.
Drugs seemed to be the currency of choice here and it was a dirty, chaotic mess of a place. It gave me cause to think on how people get to a place they would want to and feel comfortable calling this place “home”.
The Pain In Parenting
There is joy in parenting. So too there is great agony.
Nothing hurts us more as a parent than to watch any one of our children suffer through agony and hardship at their own hand.
If, today, you have a child in your life who is making poor choices, living selfishly, walking away from those things that are right and true, this article is for you.
If you know someone suffering with the above, this may help you encourage them as they struggle. I hope you find it helpful to you today.
“When I Retire…”
I hear so many folks talk about the magical day in which they come to “critical mass”.
Having reached some magical golden age, they will, in their vision, “retire” and really begin enjoy what little life they have left.
Americans have become slaves to the 401k, a promised Pension, Lifetime Health Benefits guaranteed, and amassing wealth to degrees never realized in the history of man.
I’ve been chasing all that my entire life and have come up disappointed and empty handed.
Today, it really hit me reading Jesus talk about this concept with his followers in the story of the Rich Fool as it’s called.
A story I’ve read many times took on a new feel this morning and I thought it was worth discussing.
Nuclear Wasteland
Boondocking. The term describes camping without hookups of any kind.
The camper is fully dependent on the RV Rig’s systems including electrical, water, and sewer.
In today’s post and included video I am going to talk some about the area in which we find ourselves presently, Southern California, as well as our methodology related to Boondocking or Dispersed Camping.
Snaggletooth
The Snaggletooth Wilderness area hosts a BLM Primitive camp ground. We chose to stop here on our way south from the Valley of Fire area in Nevada to our final destination at the Glamis North RV park in Niland California. I’ll share my thoughts and a few photos with you from along the way.
