Welcome to The Winter Times

The only constant in the universe.

Change. The first thing you should have noticed is that we have had a name change. We had to change after we let the domain name expire, and the price for winterstead.com went up beyond our means. The good news is that we were able to raise the value of our brand.

We chose The Winter Times because it is just about us. Not about our homestead. Not about our road trip. Just about what we are up to. Whatever that may be at the time.

Sometimes you just feel like writing

Hello friends and family, we miss you all back home!

Lately we have been terribly busy. I have taken a job as the Reservations Manager at Silver View RV Resort in beautiful Bullhead City. We are in our last class (whoop) of school, and... ... we have been apartment hunting.

Oatman Arizona: The land of wild donkeys and hogs.

Back in Kansas a friend of ours told us about a town in Arizona named Oatman. She said it was acute old mining town turned tourist trap. I love a bit of history and a tourist trap so I thought yeah I'll go. Then she tells us that the place is home to a bunch of wild burros. So I thought yeah I have to go.

Stuck in Bullhead City

After we paid the bill at the mechanic I thought that our plans were shot. We had hoped to get a lot of traveling and writing done with that money. I was thinking we would spend some time in Vegas, see SoCal, and tour the Grand Canyon. Now we don't have enough gas to get to any of those places. I have to admit I was kind of depressed.
