Sunrise At Mono Lake
After such a fabulous day up at Bodie Ghost Town, I was pretty excited to get some sunrise photos at Mono Lake the very next day. That is, I was excited, right up until moment my alarm went off at 5:30am. Okay, maybe not that exact moment. But definitely the moment I realized I’d have to…

Best. Day. Ever.
When I left off from my last post, I was sitting in a booth at Bishop’s Denny’s and hoping my phone would ring. That the random stranger who’d picked up my solar kit would call me so that I could come get it. About 10 minutes later, my phone did ring. When I put on…

The Adventures Continue (Hwy 395 Edition)
I woke up on Tuesday morning to find the sun on the truck and the super glue on my cut finger holding fast. A good sign! Taking my time packing up, I enjoyed coffee and a light breakfast. Of course, “packing up” didn’t take very long. All I needed to do was put the computer…

Sunrise Adventures at Death Valley National Park
Set up at my Death Valley NP campsite, I crawled into the truck sometime around 9:30pm on Sunday. It was still pleasantly warm (maybe 70 degrees?) and the curtains I velcro’d in place gave me all the privacy I needed. I’m not sure why I didn’t sleep all that well. I just know that I…

I planned my first solo trip in a long time around photography. I wanted sunrise photos, and that generally means getting up long before the crack of dawn. I…

The shipwreck Point Estero
I talked to my sister the other day, and she asked me what the heck happened to the blog. “It’s like you dropped off the face of the earth!” she said. Well…I guess she’s kinda right. I started GoGoTacoNegro so that our friends and family could track our adventures, and for a while there, those…

More of Moab
I want to start this post off with something like a gear review. Waaay back in Missoula (a month ago!) we picked up some funky sunscreen at the Farmer’s Market. I’ve been using this stuff ever since, and I think it deserves a shout-out. The company is called DAYSPA Body Basics. I’m generally skeptical of the…

Breakfast with a view
While we sleep in the roof top tent, the dogs spend each night in the back of the truck. They don’t seem to mind – in fact, they readily jump up there (well, Bailey does. Elvis gets carried) as soon as the sun goes down. Before we go to bed I try to them out…
