Maiden Voyage

Welcome to Hamkin's first outing. Some things we have learned along the way: Read all directions first.  Don't just start taking apart the refer to try to get it to run on propane. Turns out just a simple push of a button would be enough. I will never get those three hours back. 


                                           The new rack for our trusty steeds

We have spent untold hours prepping HAM for travel. It has been fun but now we travel! We are almost self-sufficient boon-docking for a couple of weeks. A solar panel will be all we need to top us off each day.

                               Pushkin with the weight of the world on his back!

A 2001 Dodge will deliver us to the hills of freedom! The side entry was why we like this camper so much. Our condo will be lonely this summer, if we don't decide to rent it out.

Running and riding are endless out here. The Western Rim trail was nice. Always hear about it and now we finally rode it. Worth the drive! McDonald Creek trail to Jouflas for a little run. And then sitting around in the sol. 
         This photo helped me decide that I should never go out in public with those tights or any tights for that matter...
McDonald Creek Trail was Awesome! Beauty and the Beast. 

Delta-sized arch on the disappointing Trail Through Time. Dinosaur bones fossilized in rock....If you say so!

Great first time out. The point was to iron out some problems so we could spend quality time outside not messin' around with Hamkin. 

We hope to see you out on the trails. On bikes, feet, anything just get outside. If you're going out some place neat and want to adventure, send us a message!
