A Very Madrid Christmas!

Posted on December 6, 2011 by theblondecoyote

Madrid is the closest town to my Earthship – I’ve hiked and ridden a horse there several times – and what a town it is! Madrid, pronounced MAD-rid (not ma-DRID) is a mad, mad place, home to wonderfully mad Madroids. Today, Madrid … Continue reading →

Wilding Horses: Revisited

Posted on November 16, 2011 by theblondecoyote

It figures that right after I write about trying to avoid the herd of feral horses that they’d show up on my doorstep. Yesterday as I was working on some edits for my latest batch of stories for EARTH magazine, … Continue reading →

Akubra Love

Posted on November 11, 2011 by theblondecoyote

Everything I own has to fit in my car so I’m very deliberate about buying new things, but I’ve been in need of a new hiking hat for some time now. Even in the winter, the sun in New Mexico … Continue reading →

Sunday Visiting

Posted on November 7, 2011 by theblondecoyote

Where I live, Sundays are for visiting. A small community of people live out here, off grid in the desert. We’re all spaced well apart, each surrounded by several hundred acres of open ground. We live in the kind of … Continue reading →

Rangeland Cattle & Desert Self Defense

Posted on October 28, 2011 by theblondecoyote

Today was moving day! I’m now back out at the Earthship, the off grid place way out in the backcountry near Cerrillos, New Mexico, where I’ll be housesitting until mid January. Everything I own, including the dogs, once again fit neatly into my … Continue reading →

The Extraterrestrial Highway

Posted on October 23, 2011 by theblondecoyote

Today, my copilot Becky and I (and the dogs!) are heading to Nevada via Flagstaff, Sedona and the South Rim of the Grand Canyon! Nevada is one of those states that never gets as much credit as it should. Sure, … Continue reading →

Viva Las Vegas!

Posted on October 22, 2011 by theblondecoyote

I’m so stoked: this time next week I’ll be moving back out to the Earthship! I can’t wait to be back off grid, way out in the desert where the walking is as epic as it gets. In the meantime, I’m … Continue reading →
