Life on the Free Range Grand Canyon Caverns golf course According to the pictures found on egg cartons, Free Range chickens are happier. So why not humans? It turns out we are. September twenty-ninth marks the one year anniversary of our vagabond lifestyle and we like it! Vagabond chickens are right. The plan was to settle…
We’re taking a look back to when we purchased the Motor Palace, the former Jennie’s site and some of the progress we’ve made. Jennie’s building One of our first projects was replacing the roof on the old Jennie’s Bar building next door. Water and animals flowed freely and it was forty to fifty years old. During the…
Excuse last night 8/23/13 I’m having trouble with my Eye Fi card again, it may or may not transfer pictures to my phone. Update this morning 8/24/13 It’s not transferring most most of my pictures. They’re on the card, it’s just not transmitting a signal. Here’s a couple shots at the San Juan Inn I would…
Route 66 and I-40 to Winslow I made it to Ludlow in time for breakfast, fueled up and arrived in Winslow around by 1:30. The weather was perfect as I trailed thunderstorms across the Deserts and Plateaus, catching a smaller one outside Flagstaff. Tasty Ham Steak from the Ludlow Cafe Roy’s was busy with a…
Bye for now Winslow We accomplished most of our work goals and exceeded our fun plans! It’s exciting to see Winslow’s renaissance project coming together. The theater is re-opened and busy every night, the Soda Fountain and a Cafe serving breakfast and lunch should be finished mid summer, the new Arizona 66 Trading Company is…
Today is our 15th Anniversary! Happy Anniversary Lori! Yesterday was nice too Lori took the truck to her parents so I hitched a ride from the motel with “Stoney” (a tile man working on the soon to be Soda Fountain across from us). The mornings have been cool and calm and at 7:00 tourists trickle…
Seligman! We scored again at Snow-Cap! Last summer’s rooftop show with John Delgadillo’s band was followed up with a performance by Angel’s band. Seligman is one of the best stops on Route 66, the Delgadillo family makes sure everyone has a good time. Angel is the person credited with organizing the movement to save Route…
Not Much Work Here We spent this weekend visiting with friends and running dead-end errands. I stopped working on Baby Monday when I ran out of parts and discovered Lori left with the truck keys in her pocket. I used the time to play around with my camera. Old stuff Baby seems pretty excited about…
Dickies 1922 Heritage Jeans We got our hands on some Dickies jeans from their Heritage collection. These jeans are made at the Dickies work shop in New Braunfels Texas of Cone Mills White Oak denim. The White Oak plant in North Carolina was built by Cone Mills in 1905 and they weave selvage denim on…
Shop time with the YZ80 Finished stripping the YZ80 chassis and will split the cases tomorrow. So far other than the oil pump mess it seems solid. I’m going to go ahead and bore the cylinder and go one up on the piston. Drilling more screws out. More cleaning, it still needs a few more…
Lori’s learning to be a goat farmer by starting seedlings in egg shells. When they sprout she’ll plant them in pots on the balcony off our breakfast room. She got the idea from friends who checked out of So-Cal and are living the dream somewhere in the Oregon Sticks. You can follow their adventures here.…
