Coddiwomple (v.) to travel in a purposeful manner towards a vague destination.  I typically live like this during winter while making a plan for where to next.

I paid too much rent to stay for another week in Cedar City for three more PT appointments on my slowly improving wrists.  Very nice that daytime highs in the 60s makes a pleasant two block walk to PT.  The time here has been well spent.  Although honestly it doesn’t feel like I’ve done much else besides waste a lot of time online.

I have another doctor visit and PT assessment on my last day in town, the 15th.  Then I’ll coddiwomple southward probably just out of Utah to Black Rock Road on free BLM for the night.  Will be my first stay in this location.  That’s only a little over an hour driving.  Long enough for my first major drive in 2 1/2 months.

Then the next day, two hours to Snowbird Mesa, aka Poverty Flats, Nevada.  Last I stayed there in March 2017 the wind almost blew me away.

And another hour to Boulder City and free camping by the casino.

Followed by a two hour drive to Burro Creek campground with a stop along the way in Wikeup for Chicago style Italian Beef sandwiches, to eat and to go.

And a final hour to Wickenburg.  About 450 miles total.  I used to drive that in a day instead of five.

Another option is a RV Park with the most affordable in Congress, North Ranch, about 10 miles to PT.  Guess I won’t be walking that.

Other than that I don’t have a plan except changing my mailing address as I no longer live in Yarnell.  For now I’m going to pay for a mail service in Wickenburg, Arizona that will give me a physical address and make the few government offices that still use snail-mail happy.  Plus I love receiving postcards from people/travelers.  Yes that’s still a thing.
