Devils Tower, June 12-13

After overnighting in Cody to wash clothes and car, I got to Devils Tower National Monument in northeast Wyoming (pic: http://www.nps.gov/imr/customcf/apps/CMS_HandF/GreenBoxPics/DETO_towerweb.jpg). I had a nice camping spot where I could see the tower as the sun set and again in the mist at sunrise.

The Native American names for this place are more fitting I think -- Bear Lodge, Bear Tipi, Bear Hat. It is a spiritual place and several tribes were using the grounds for traditional ceremonies at the time I was there. I'm glad that the National Park Service recognizes their right to this sacred site and encourages visitors to give them privacy.

Welcome

I mostly travel and camp out of a Toyota Prius. I'm a full-time nomad, but was part-time from 2009-2016. I adore being in nature, driving back roads, and exploring local cultures & geology. I can't imagine a more wonderful life.

In March 2020, I got a passenger van so that I could stand up and cook inside, and tow my cargo trailer. Unfortunately, the van was not a good fit for me. So, in 2023 I'll be moving into a hybrid SUV.

Mid-2018, I exited a 10-year retirement to take the Executive Director position of Homes On Wheels Alliance (HOWA), a new 501(c)3 charitable organization. In late 2018, I changed my residency from Washington to Nevada, where HOWA incorporated.

Currently I spend winters in the Desert SW, late spring in the Pacific NW, and the rest of the year at beautiful places in pleasant weather. Typically I travel with my HOWA colleagues and friends who are also full-time nomads.

I rarely blog anymore. But still hear from readers that SuanneOnline continues to be appreciated and enjoyed.

If you'd like details about how I live out of my car, see the links directly below.
