TGRT: That Weighs HOW MUCH??? 2/25/20 Las Vegas, NV – 0 miles To see the entire road trip visit www.tanstaaflpress.com/tgrt/ After winning $500 from my fellow poker players yesterday, today I’m sitting here catching up on things while my friend is at work (I remember those days). One of those dreams is possibly trading the […]
2/23/20 Barstow, CA to Las Vegas, NV – 156 miles To see the entire road trip visit www.tanstaaflpress.com/tgrt/ So there may be some derision about me stopping this short of Vegas, but on a short night of sleep, touristing, and that I tire easily, I found the stop quite important. I initially intended just to […]
2/22/20 Castaic, CA to Barstow, CA 163 miles To see the entire trip go to www.tanstaaflpress.com/tgrt/ So, sleeping right next to the freeway is a jarring and not very restful experience. I managed to get a few more hours sleep but not quite enough to get through the entire day. I did write fifteen hundred […]
La Grange, CA to Northridge, CA – 286 Miles + 100 local miles To read the entire trip see www.tanstaaflpress.com/tgrt The trip south was quite enjoyable.

Feb 16 – Pasco, WA to Castle Rock, WA 265 miles First, I want to start this by saying that my expectations of RadCon, while higher than my previous years, didn’t come even close to the reality. I appreciate how us book sellers are now out where people can see us. HUGE improvement over the […]
Castle Rock, WA to Pasco, WA (265 miles). First here is a short peak into how close I am packed inside the car. Mostly Full RAV4 Welcome to Pasco, WA. I chose to take the Columbia Gorge (I84) rather than going via I90 (over the aptly named Snoqualmie Pass) or near a similarly snow-covered Mt. […]
Even More Preparation! Fuel sources for all my different off-grid materials became a problem quickly. I need gasoline for my generator (backup for my car) and propane for my heater, I decided that I didn’t need to carry yet another fuel (white gas) for my Coleman camp stove. So instead I splurged and bought a […]
Episode 3 The trailer (a Backpacker 2 ), as I purchased it as an older model, had a couple of issues, not with its structure or operation, only in my needs and wants for a longer road trip. If you go to that link, remember that I have an older model without the WC area, […]
