Yep, it was and it's been. Read about the adventures of the Coconut and his sidekick pedalpusher as they travel the Southwest Desert landscape in search of open skies and an unfettered place to lay their weary heads. Oh and a visitor from the soggy north joins them in his search for vitamin "D".  Here.

Great pics, Hugh! And what a wild, rambling' bunch! Thanks for the write up. I love hearing about folks' adventures in the peopled lands.

With abandon,
Patrick

Deacon,

Thanks man, yeah we are peopled down here which makes for some challenges. Look out though all those sweet pictures in your neck of the woods may cause an uptick of peopling in your parts. Grin.

I am already eyeing Wyoming and it's my own fault!

Hugh:

You & Evan earned the "Press on Regardless" merit badges for overcoming what sounds like a conspiracy to mess up your weekend.  Job well done!

Doug,

Thank you sir. When your chasing that ride, I'll go to great lengths. As far as conspiracies, well perhaps I could take some blame or at least admit I would have needed to take a Thursday off to get a site. But that wasn't feasible as Evan wouldn't have been free and there's no reason to believe we might have been successful. In the end it all worked out.

And you'd be buying a bit more time...recent report claims that Wyoming is the next best place to retire. May I suggest the Yukon.

Deacon,

There are strange things done in the midnight sun
      By the men who moil for gold;
The Arctic trails have their secret tales
      That would make your blood run cold;
The Northern Lights have seen queer sights,
      But the queerest they ever did see
Was that night on the marge of Lake Lebarge
      I cremated Sam McGee. ~ Robert Service

Figured you'd appreciate it from one Scot to another.

I figured to whet an appetite...but of course read on.
