I’ve been following mild weather upward (in both latitude and elevation) and am now at 8,200ft overlooking Los Alamos. I’m hoping there’s no heat dome this year so I don’t have to go much further/higher.

I’ve been in this spot 6 days and so have another week to figure out the next move. The tree canopy is affecting solar but I’m getting ~5 hours of clear sun, enough to get back to 100% daily.

Here’s a blog post about how I chose this site, for those interested in the logistics of boondocking.

    When I was living on the road, NM was hands down one of my favorite states to do so. Spent a lot of time just outside Santa Fe, enjoying the simple life and hitting the trails.

      I do like NM but for me right now it’s also practical thing. I’m based out of El Paso and trying to drive less / spend less in order to make this early retirement thing work.

      LOL, onlookers are probably very confused. Not a devotee of Uncle Al, but some friends are and I enjoy their company immensely. Smart, funny people which seems to be a pattern in that community.

        Haha. I saw “Frater” and took a chance. I no longer actively study myself, but the chapter of my life when I did was very formative and fond.
