Moving Camp Closer to Town

From Tarp project 1.0

Last night's celebration was a success.

We had a small contingency of comrades to share good talk, smiles, laughs and of course, food and beer!
Froggi leaves again tomorrow and I will not see her again till mid July.
There were many good jokes and plenty of stories told over the evening. Yet another good friendship was made, a photo/video journalist and veteran adventurer, and plans are now in the works of joining up in the various countries that I will eventually visit in Asia.

Yesterday also marked 14 days at camp which means I must pack up and move elsewhere.
This time I will try to get in closer to town, perhaps to where most of the glorious singletrak Flagstaff is known for is at. Riding into town via juicy singletrak would be ideal.

I was able to stash the trailer without charge on the grounds where I rent a storage unit. This was a great fortune. It eliminates, though temporary, yet another variable in this living-out-my-truck equation. Now I just need to figure out what to do with the KLR. There is a possibility to store it with a good friend in town...just gotta feel it out.

I have some plans for the tarp which will involve some sewing and additional grommets.

I'd like to eventually become more mobile ready as opportunity allows. Having the tarp in a configuration where rolling it away quickly will help me do this. The sewing machine is easy as it merely must be retrieved from storage -a place to do the dead is the tricky part.

I started referring to this whole venture as a prolonged Overlanding Project just cause it sounds cooler. Heck, why not? I am exploring the forest, sometimes using the 4x4 and mapping while I'm at it. It's legit. Really.

Tonight I post the announcement for the Coconino Geocache DS Rally on ADVrider and other forums...except the name has to be changed to... I don't know what. Dave Z. picked out a name that doesn't include the word "rally" as the event is no longer an event, but officially just a dual sport adventure ride. It really wasn't anything more than this anyway. The route is coming together fairly well and I think that it will run smoothly on play day.

Tomorrow I ride more of the course and even do some more recon as some rerouting through recently closed track and other connections are needed.

Oh, so much to do.

Have some fun people!
