Monsoon-Musings-Bob Davis Podcast 1066
Monsoon Musings
Late summer means the Monsoon season out west and that means it’s time for some Monsoon Musings. In my case that means midnight between downpours. Up in the mountains in Monsoon-Musings-Bob Davis Podcast 1066.
Monsoons Are Not Created Equal
Firstly every year out here is different when it comes to the Monsoon.
Bad Monsoon
Secondly this is a bad Monsoon.
Above all it seems like every afternoon the thunderheads come up and the downpours start.
Spectacular Storms
Certainly the storms are more spectacular in the deserts down toward Phoenix.
Utah Monsoon
However I am in Utah.
And Utah has its share of summer storms.
Flooding
For example it doesn’t take much rain to produce flooding and a lot of mud.
Campsite Flooded
In fact my campsite was flooded when I recorded Monsoon-Musings-Bob Davis Podcast 1066.
Stay On The Black Top
On the other hand that is why nomads avoid sandy and dirt roads this time of year and park on the black top.
Reflections
But it’s a great time for reflections.
Musings
Monsoon Musings.
In the same vein I have been up in Salt Lake for a lot longer than I would have liked.
Consequently I have a few stories from my truck stop and Walmart parking lot stays.
In addition I had a chance to scout the whole area for great campgrounds.
Bryce Canyon
Finally I headed up to the Bryce Canyon area and camping at King’s Creek in the Dixie National Forest.
[Editor’s Note: Of course I called it King’s Crossing in the podcast!)
Dixie National Forest
To clarify this campground is about nine thousand feet up. When it rains there it’s cold.
Fog!
And foggy.
Red Rock Road
Therefore I was happy to get back down to the desert near Red Rock.
Two Takeaways
To clarify there’s two takeaways from this podcast.
Desperation In The Truck Stops and Parking Lots
And Utah has services and plenty of room for broken down car dwellers.
Nomads Have A Dream
Secondly it’s been my experience that nomads have a dream.
That is to say many nomads dream of a piece of land somewhere in the mountains.
Or beaches.
Forests too.
In short we talk a lot about what one would need for the perfect off grid ‘cabin in the woods’.
My Heart Is On The Road
But on the other hand my heart is not in those discussions although I don’t mind having them over a fireside steak and a piping hot cup of coffee.
My Cabin In The Woods
In conclusion Mobile Podcast Command is my cabin in the woods, mountain or beach.
Gratitude
And I am very grateful to stay on the move.
