Trailer Life

006 (1024x739)

I thought I’d lived in just about all the mobiles possible:  Vega, truck camper, school bus, trailer, motor home and 5th-wheel.

008 (737x1024)

All it really lacks is windows and a back porch.  And maybe a wood stove.

03 Mike's new cuff & tuffa mold from Jacob Lake Inn AZ (1024x768)

We are parked at the Crazy Horse Campark in Kanab.

05 View from RV window Crazy Horse Campark Kanab UT (1024x522)

With a marvelous view.

06 Cemetary & 5er Kanab UT (1024x767)

Right next to the cemetery, a quiet place.  We could see the 5th-wheel (center) from dinner at Escobars.  Wonderful Mexican food.

Will be here a few days and having some work done on my truck early next week.  So Saturday we’re going hiking in Buckskin Gulch slot canyon.

Hi, I’m Gaelyn, the Geogypsy

I retired after 29 summer seasons as a Park Ranger, traveling solo for 40+ years. My passions include travel, connecting to nature, photography, and sharing stories.

I started exploring US National Parks in 1977 and 20 years later became a seasonal Park Ranger.  I’ve lived full-time in a RV for 30 years working summers and playing winters.  I’m still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow old, other than grow up.

Let’s share our stories.  Here’s more of mine…

My wheeleastate

I am currently…

…boondocking somewhere in southern Arizona.  In the area, give a shout.
