Here I am in the desert near Blythe, CAlifornia. My plan is to stay in the area for several reasons:
Covid- CAlifornia and Arizona are spiking so MY plan is to stay out in the desert. I have food for 2-3 weeks. Propane for 2-3 weeks, access to water and a friend with a dog. Daily walks, shared brunches, reading, writing, cooking, eating, meditating, and enjoying life is the plan. My safety is important! I reevaluate my situation each day.
A rain event is happening as I type. Rain in the desert can be dangerous if one is not careful. Avoid Washes/ arroyos! Stay on higher ground. Don’t drive into sand. I am camping on a high flat area! Be prepared for generators running constantly and solar systems not producing power.
The Quartzsite area is very crowded during the MLK long holiday weekend brings people to the Big RV tent sale, an ATV race and many gatherings of nomads, campers, adventurers, 4 wheelers, etc. a Mecca for outdoor fun! Staying away from the crowds has been my goal.
While I am content – my hair is not! Hoodie hair is a reality!
I ordered an electric hair trimmer which should arrive later this week. I can’t wait! Really could not wait. I cut all the hairs that flipped inappropriately!
Yesterday I found the scissors again and cut more hair off. The scissors are dull. I have NO idea what I am doing. The right side is more difficult for me so I am a bit unbalanced.
Just wanted to share the my journey of the shorter hair.
Haircut looks good! Home haircuts are the rule since Covid. I’ve cut Max’s hair 3 times so far. It looks better than before I cut it, but i’m no pro!

Looks good! Glad you are staying away from crowds- see you soon!
Good job Connie. It looks good!
Your hair looks great! For the record, there is nothing wrong with hoodie hair. It’s our new norm now days. Love the pictures and enjoy hearing your stories. Stay safe!
I am torn between letting my hair grow out, trying to arrange a cut, and cutting it myself. If I thought I could end up looking as good as you do, I’d cut it myself! Stay safe.
Glad your are staying safe. Haircut looks great!!
Connie, you did a great job on your bp hair. You look good with short hair. Sounds like you are really enjoying life in the “slow” lane ! Just stay safe and keep blogging! I love to read about where you are and who you have with you.
Can’t tell if the cut is good or not. Not much left. Good look for the ?! You are so brave to be out there. Does Amazon deliver to the desert?
Living the dream Connie,I have the best of both worlds here in Oregon. If you ever come this way, we are in southern Oregon right above California above Ashland off the 5 interstate in Central Point. You look great. Happy day as we inaugurate a new team to leadership in our country.❤️
You look great! Glad you are safe and found companionship. Be well!
