The munchkin and I left Buffalo Creek, CO for our road trip with a special guest appearance by Ian for the 1st couple days, which meant that this was now a caravanning road trip, or gypsy train or something. Our first stop dictated by a need to whiz was FairPlay. It’s just a teeny town … Continue reading Road Trip to Mesa Verde NP
Kiwi Culture
-New Zealand- I generally try to stick with the concept of exploring a new country every time I travel internationally rather than returning to the same place consecutively.

Disconnected or Reconnected?
When we first arrived at the Forest Service compound in Buffalo Creek, Colorado I was feeling disconcerted for certain.

Colorado Part 1
After several days on the road feeling liberated from the stagnancy of living a relatively normal existence for the past year we arrived at our (temporary) final destination: Morrison, Colorado.
