We head out to spend a night in the Arizona wilderness. The sunset was especially peaceful this evening.
Read moreThanks to your Monero donations I was able to buy an 18-pound box of Organic Deglet Dates which will keep me energized for weeks!
Read morePicachio Peak looks impossible to climb from a distance, and despite being only 1.6 miles, it was one of the most challenging hikes I've ever done.
Read moreI discover an abandoned quarry in the desert, and attempt to determine what they were mining there.
Read moreWe found a rocky hill in the desert with multiple caves big enough to sleep in.
Read moreWatching a desert sunrise is one of my favorite activities, especially in the Winter when it brings an immediate blast of warmth on a cold morning.

Read moreWe decided to leave the frozen forests of the Mogollon Rim in northern Arizona to explore the significantly warmer East Verde River a short drive away.
Read moreWe left warm Tucson to explore the frigid north of Arizona. It's my third Winter living completely outside, and this feels more like the New Mexican weather I'm used to.
Read moreChad and I climb desert mountains to the top of Wasson Peak near Tucson, AZ. We encounter abandoned mines, old rock buildings and tons of Saguaro Cacti.
Read moreChad's property is full of sun-loving desert plants, including several Saguaro Cacti, and we add a few more drought tolerant plants to the mix.
Read moreChad picked me up from freezing New Mexico and we drove 8 hours to his home in gloriously warm Arizona. It's so nice here in the Winter... but the Summers are pretty extreme.
Read moreThe weather's getting chilly, and the garden is settling in for a long nap.
Read moreWe had a nearly full Solar Eclipse this morning in New Mexico. The light was very eery, and everything got super cold and quiet.
Read moreI planted the Jerusalem Artichokes early enough this year that we get to see them flower.
Read moreI suspect my access to shipped goods may be limited in the future, so I picked up some odd jobs to be able to order myself a box full of presents.
Read moreSome of the Sunchokes got gobbled by gophers, but the rest are getting ready to flower. There's 3x more growth in the Electroculture Spiral Garden, and the effects extend wider than the copper wire reaches.
Read moreI've been shifting towards simplicity in some big ways recently. Stay awhile and listen...
Read moreThe Sunchokes in the Spiral Garden are way taller than everywhere else, and I have a plan for a new Electroculture experiment next year.
Read moreThe Sunchokes are already taller than me, which is the same height they reached last year by September... and it's still June.

Read moreI just got back from a 6-day camping trip with a friend. Let's see if the garden survived without me for so long!
Read moreThe Pennywhistle is light, compact and sturdy, which makes it perfect for the minimalist nomad lifestyle. It's also one of the easiest instruments to learn.
Read moreThe spiral garden is way out in the lead, but we started all of the sunchokes 2 months earlier than last year, so the entire grow is likely to far exceed 6 feet tall.
Read moreThe IPFS Gateway that hosts cahlen.org went down yesterday for some unknown reason. Luckily, the decentralized videos seem to still be available... Web3 works!
