I’m regularly conflicted these days. I go back and forth between thinking about a return to the Corp World (in some capacity) or continuing on with my vagabond path. I’ve always been confident in my decisions but honestly have no idea what to do at the moment. I feel as though I’m running to stand still as things don’t seem to be gaining traction…

Read MoreI happily admit to being a coffee fanatic and make no bones about enjoying 2 cups of coffee each morning for the safety and well-being of those in my immediate vicinity. If I don’t start the day with a bit of quiet time accompanied with a cup of joe, well…I’m probably going to be difficult to deal with. That being said, feed me coffee and and we’ll most likely end up being best friends with fishing trips to boot and tall tales told around the morning campfire.
Read MoreYesterday was a bit rough. I woke up at 5am and hit up the local McDonalds to grab a coffee (Craig, Dunkin’ Donuts is way better) and finalize the school bus video for my friend who’s selling it. I opened up my computer to find my screen was broken…not awesome considering I spent $700 having a replacement screen installed on my MacBook Pro six months ago. On to my service appt at the local truck repair shop. I originally thought my truck repairs would just be a quick $200 brake job but quickly turned into $950 worth of expenses. My truck was in the shop for 7 hours and once in my possession I couldn’t wait to get my extended vacation started.
Read MoreHuman activity in this area can be traced back as far as 14,000 years ago to a Clovis site situated on Lime Ridge located just southeast of Cedar Mesa proper.

Read MoreIt’s Monday after the Visit With Respect Ambassador Training weekend and I’m ready to get started with my patrols today! I have a total of 15 sites located throughout the Bears Ears National Monument to conduct my Visit With Respect Ambassador outreach so my plan is to make a big circle route which I’ll follow each week. My goal is to hit each site twice per week so I’ll be keeping busy out on the trails!
Read MoreThe rain and hard winds have been relentless for the past 24 hours and as a result I didn't get any sleep last night. To complicate matters this morning, the tremendous amount of runoff is causing all of the washes to run at deep levels cutting off the only road out of here. I’m essentially trapped at my present location 19 miles deep in Bears Ears National Monument.

Read MoreHey Everyone!
I wanted to provide some first hand information of places in Canyon Country I like to check out in the Fall and Spring when temperatures aren’t blazing hot. If you go to these areas, you MUST travel with a portable toilet as you can’t dig cat holes for human waste in the canyons…
