I just made it 30 days living in my little 19' Airstream Bambi and this incredibly simple, rewarding life makes me feel more free and happy than I have in a long, long time.

Driveway Butte is a fantastic former fire lookout site just west of Mazama. The route is notoriously dry and hot and will test your legs but reward you with gorgeous views of the North Cascades, Pasayten, and spectacular Goat Wall.
Middle Tiffany (7,967') and Rock Mountain (7,971') in North Central Washington are on the State's top 200 most prominent peak list AND offer a spectacular summer wildflower show.
While I might not recommend the awful gauntlet of a deadfall route required to get to Ramsey's summit, exploring the Methow Wildlife Area is always a quiet, beautiful experience.
Doe Mountain in the Okanogan Range is a former fire lookout site that makes for a sublime ridge line cross country outing. Neighboring Ike Mountain is an easy bonus.
A weekend of Hok skiing in northern Ferry County, Washington at the Altai Skis Backcountry Festival with perfect snow, fantastic weather, and a welcoming local community of Hoksters.
At the end of August I jumped into off-grid solar-powered living in my 19' Airstream Bambi. I had no idea if it would work, but my ZAMP 180-watt panel has kept me going for 17 days! It's been a simple, enjoyable couple of weeks that definitely make me appreciate the little things!
For many years I've dreamed of owning an Airstream and that dream finally came true! Never let obstacles stand in the way of you and your dreams, even if it takes some extra time to get there. The journey is worth it!
Clark Peak (7,890') just south of Tiffany Mountain in the Tiffany Highlands has an incredibly steep north face and makes a great peakbagging destination, especially during the summer wildflower show.
Relatively unknown Fawn Peak in Mazama is a gem of a peakbagging destination. One of the the 200 most prominent mountains in Washington, Fawn provides an enjoyable, open, ridge line traverse, plenty of spring flowers, and a broad summit with stunning 360 views.
The late 1800s gold mining ghost town of Bodie in the Okanogan Highlands of Washington State is a particularly photogenic historical attraction, especially in fall and winter.
A 5-day Altai Hok ski trip to historic guard stations in the gorgeous Blue Mountains of southeast Washington provided solitude, wildlife, and the perfect kind of quiet year-end reflection.
