Bosque Bill's Backroads: April 2014
http://bosquebill.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Camera and Photo Info. Who is Bosque Bill? Sunday, April 27, 2014. Chiricahua and Gila Mountains. First Trip of the Season. I wanted a four or five day trip to "shake down" to start the year. As it was early in the season, a southern venture sounded best. I had made a few trips down to the Chiricahua Mountains, in SE Arizona, in years past to bird and stayed at the lodge in Portal. I'd noticed great camping areas those times, so wanted to try those out, and enjoy the scenery. I also wanted to try out my.

Bosque Bill's Backroads: Sandia Crest Trail - July 2015

Camera and Photo Info. Who is Bosque Bill? Tuesday, July 28, 2015. Sandia Crest Trail - July 2015. July 23, 2015. Although this is primarily a travel/camping blog, I didn't travel very far for this day trip. Nonetheless, as most of you are not local to the Albuquerque area, you would be traveling if you came to central New Mexico, so I feel justified in posting these photos here. The views are spectacular and the wildflowers were in full bloom. Most of the flower photos were taken with my macro lens,...

Camera and Photo Info. Who is Bosque Bill? Thursday, June 11, 2015. Spring Shakedown 2015 - Part 3. I am organizing this trip report into separate sections to both make it easier to read and to organize the geographical areas for your future trip planning. Comprises part of Wednesday and part of Saturday covering El Malpais National Monument. This breaks the timeline, but puts all of El Malpais in one section. This Part III covers El Morro National Monument. From Saturday evening through Sunday afternoon.

Camera and Photo Info. Who is Bosque Bill? Thursday, January 23, 2014. California Trip: October 2013. Big Sur, Kirk Creek, and Elephant Seals. Big Sur - Where the continent meets the deep blue sea. The final leg of my California trip last October took me through the spectacular scenery along the central California coastline. Though I reached the coast at Monterrey, I had only limited time and didn't stop there or in Carmel, two gorgeous locales that you should visit if you haven't already. Thanks for com...

A Day at the Races | Strolling Amok
https://strollingamok.wordpress.com/2015/08/08/a-day-at-the-races
The Evelo Pack Mule. Pops goes on tour. A Day at the Races. Quite a few people out today! Not particularly helping in this immersive experience was the fact that Arlington has been adamant about. Long time and contained no bullets, so everybody just kind of shrugged and went on about their business. Besides, this is Chicago. People from Las Vegas know what I’m talking about. This is about a third of the building, at most. Posh and expansive. The facilities belie the difficulties of the profession. Too ea...

Pack Mule Conquers Rockford’s Rugged Roads | Strolling Amok
https://strollingamok.wordpress.com/2015/07/04/pack-mule-conquers-rockfords-rugged-roads
The Evelo Pack Mule. Pops goes on tour. Pack Mule Conquers Rockford’s Rugged Roads. It came, it saw, it conquered! Well, it dodged potholes, anyway. Evelo Aurora to the rescue. Rockford is a rather gritty, sprawling burg, so there’s no “distance to town”, per se. You pass little pockets of businesses until you find one with the type of store you want, and there you are. My self-assigned mission was to. 13 miles for a bright red strap? 8220;I’m envious! Posted in Daily Life. Newer Entry →. Hey Doug. N...

Just a Glance Back | Strolling Amok

The Evelo Pack Mule. Pops goes on tour. Just a Glance Back. New Mexico, Land of Enchantment and Whoop-De-Do’s. Get there ASAP without taxing myself, and once at the end goal, get cracking to start making appointments and arrangements of various kinds. Then take a breath and see the kids and grandkids. At a Sam’s Club in Nebraska, I looked out the camper window to see an old Cadillac Seville convertible with wonky proportions. Posted in Travelin' Man. And tagged Cadillac Seville Convertible. That’s ...

Camera and Photo Info. Who is Bosque Bill? Saturday, September 14, 2013. Northern New Mexico, featuring Carson National Forest - Part 2. Wednesday, August 28, 2013. If you're following along from yesterday's post, we've just crossed the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge west of Taos. A map of the entire journey is at the top of the previous post. US-64 turns north after crossing the bridge and passes an unusual housing "development." This is The Greater World Earthship Community. From the BLM website. After crossi...

The War on E-Bikes | Strolling Amok
https://strollingamok.wordpress.com/2015/07/07/the-war-on-e-bikes
The Evelo Pack Mule. Pops goes on tour. The War on E-Bikes. A new way to kill yourself! Reader Michael recently sent me a link. To a rather spectacular e-bike, a high performance, low production European model capable of 40 MPH. This e-bike by Trifecta boasts 4,000 watts, an 85-pound weight despite plenty of aluminum and carbon fiber (it’s mainly the battery), a 14-speed. Look at New York, for example. New York State has banned all e-bikes, period. In that state, their motors disqualify them as b...Would...
