Clarity Off-Grid

Well, this journey has started out with some challenges. We’re in Ft. Collins where it is 100°F, Matt is suffering from allergies and our dog, Lily, got stoned. Learn about what to do when your dog gets into marijuana and then come along for the ride as we head for higher ground and cooler temperatures. We’ll take you up winding canyons and along raging white water rapids. Come along for the journey - we have no idea where we’re headed or where we’ll end up - and that’s exactly how we want this three-month adventure to be.

We have something different for you this week. Roy and Kim, a couple who reached out with van build questions, are taking their maiden voyage in their ProMaster 136 Van. They found themselves only two and a half hours away from our home, and we invited them to Twisted Oak. We were humbled and delighted that they copied the layout of Clarity, our off-grid van.

We’ve returned from Baja and we’re taking time to explore some of our favorite local spots - like the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve. We join back up with our trusty fellow adventurers, Dave and Candee for a wonderful trip to the Great Sand Dunes right here in Colorado. This time, instead of trudging up the 1000 foot climb through the sand to the top of the dunes, we’re taking a scenic hike around the edge of the dunes. We saw the expected and the unexpected, so don’t miss a minute.

We made it across the US border and now we’re taking some time to return to our off-grid home in the mountains of Colorado. After driving through traffic and a lot of people pressure in Sedona, we decided to keep moving north and find a place to camp north of Flagstaff. We soon realized that we would be passing by Sunset Crater Volcano and Wupatki National Monuments and changed our plans to explore not only the crater but also a couple of ancient ruins. Come along as we explore Sunset Crater and the Wukoki and Wapatki Pueblos on our journey north toward home. 🎬 Video about Matt’s Brother Mark who is a lung transplant recipient.

While staying in Loreto waiting out the second week of Holy Week, we explored Loreto and came to know a delightful young family who lives in Guatemala working for an organization that helps Guatemalan communities build schools out of bottles filled with trash. We were so taken with our campground companions and their work that we asked them to tell us more about Hug It Forward. Join us as we continue to explore the area around Loreto and learn more about bottle schools in Guatemala from Adam, Shannon, and daughter Mazey. 🎓 Learn More About HUG IT FORWARD http://hugitforward.org/ Missed previous Episodes?

But when we got close to Loreto, we found that the beach situation was different there and we wouldn’t be allowed to camp on the beach for another 3 days. Join us as we continue to explore Baja and learn to navigate through one of the culture’s biggest holidays - Holy Week or Semana Santa.

Semana Santa in Baja is quite the experience. The beaches are closed for camping for a week or two. And it just depends on where you are. We left the safety of La Paz and headed for Los Barriles hoping to find wild camping. But, as soon as we arrived we found out that the beaches would remain closed until Sunday night. We turned around and found a nice campground with wonderful shade and nice amenities where we could wait out Mexican holy week - Semana Santa. But it wasn’t all fun and games. Come along as we share our Semana Santa experience in Baja California Sur, getting our Ram ProMaster stuck again, and seeing the amazing Mobula Rays jumping out of the water.

We’re leaving Mulege during Semana Santa. Crazy - I know. But, my computer has stopped working and the nearest Mac Store is in La Paz. We spent a day exploring the beaches of Bahia Concepcion and found that they weren’t all that crowded. So we’re taking our chances that we’ll find wild camping or a place in a campground and we’re heading south to repair or replace my aging MacBook Pro. Come along for the journey south as we explore and film beaches, dolphins, and pelicans. Oh My! Missed previous Episodes?

After a week of rest and relaxation at Campo Archelon, we’re headed South for more some adventures. We headed for San Ignacio. After a long bumpy drive out to the Laguna San Ignacio, we found just what we were looking for. Whales! Whales spouting in the distant water and a spur-of-the-moment opportunity to get in on a whale watching trip. Join us as we share a large boat with the captain, his mate, and just two other passengers. And did we see whales? YES! Amazing! Up close and personal.

We’re still waiting for parts for Ram Promaster. We can’t leave on our big adventure trip just yet, so we’re taking a few days to explore the nearby Utah desert. Join us as we hike the cliff dwellings and petroglyphs like you’ve probably never seen before. These ancient Puebloan ruins lie alongside the trails. It’s a beautiful way to quietly explore and appreciate the amazing traces that our Ancient Ones left behind.

Even though there have been many setbacks these last couple of weeks, things are looking up. Matt has fixed all the systems that were damaged when Clarity froze in the big Valentine’s Day Storm. The only thing left to do before we can leave is to wait for the parts to replace the hub that the tire store damaged when they rotated the tires. It’s a waiting game we can’t wait to get on with our next adventure.

We have been so excited to leave on this next exciting adventure. But, we have experienced delays due to the big freeze of the Valentine’s Day Storm and we’re waiting for parts for the wheels for our Ram Promaster 136 Van. I tackle finishing up the last of the insulated window coverings for the CR Laurence window in the sliding door of the van. I make some progress laying out the design and sewing on magnets. But after hours of trying to fix my sewing machine, I surrender and enjoy the Falafel the Matt so kindly made for dinner.

Hiking the Canyon of the Ancients//EP 14 Winter Living in a Passive Solar Off-Grid Home and Off-Grid Van While we are waiting on new parts for our Promaster Van 136 after the big freeze during the Valentine’s Day Storm, we’re going to explore some hiking treasures close to home. We’re exploring canyon the Ancients with our dogs, Jessie and Lily. We usually find great hiking this time of year - and it’s less than two hours from home. Even with the recent snowstorm, we were surprised to find the trail muddy and partially covered with snow. Come along with us as we weather the boot-sucking mud and hike what we can on this beautiful trail.

The Valentine’s Day Storm has passed and our Promaster van froze - again. We were hoping to leave in the next couple of days for a trip, so we didn’t fully winterize the van. Instead, we left the Propex heater running to keep the water system from freezing. It’s seemed like a good idea until the Propex heater turned off and the van froze over a 15° night. Join us as we trouble shoot the damage and begin repair to our dear Clarity. Learn from our mistakes about winterizing your van and how to avoid expensive damage to your van.

One of the biggest storms of the winter hit our off-grid home in the mountains of Colorado - as well as most of the rest of the country. We’ve had a lot of plowing and shoveling to do and we missed a couple of ski days with our friends and Purgatory Ski Resort. More importantly, we’re taking Jessie to a vet who practices Chinese medicine for dogs (and other animals as well). He’s responding well to acupuncture and to the herbs and we’re taking him back for his second treatment. We’ll show you how gentle and effective this treatment is for animals. Then, we take a day for ourselves, hitting the slopes to ski the new layer of snow left by the Valentines Day Storm. Come along for another journey from our off-grid home in Durango Colorado.
