Posted on Friday, 2024-Mar-8th by ralph

Posted on Sunday, 2023-Nov-19th by ralph

My early return to Canada meant I was likely to be colder than I’d like. I’d come to Kootenay Lake, which tends to be a bit warmer thanks to the water, but it was still cold. I was paying for … Continue reading →

A Foxy Bouse Spot

Posted on Monday, 2023-Feb-27th by ralph

It was time to resupply. Rather than hit Quartzsite with its limited grocery options, I went up to Parker. Parker isn’t big city level of selection but it’s a hell of a lot better than Quartzsite. My plan was to … Continue reading →

Posted on Friday, 2023-Feb-24th by ralph
