 ====== April 2026 ======
+===== Tuesday, April 7, 2026  =====
+I am writing this from a campsite near Mesquite, Nevada. Today marks the third week since my departure from home. Things are going great and I have seen no signs yet that I wish to return. I had a largely uneventful week since my last post. The huge highlight was the Easter event at the church I like in Caliente. It was fun and I got to hang out with them all day! I'm super jazzed about it. I also had the pleasure to have a discussion with an employee at the local public land management office. We talked a lot about the area and things I can do.
+Did I do those things? Not really! I really did let laziness take over me this week. It's time for me to go hiking again. I've got my access to GPS tracking and topographical maps via my phone all sorted out. So I am technically quite ready to start blazing some paths into the mountains. But I have neglected to do so yet. It doesn't help that I'm really conserving my finances and doing nothing is super cheap.
+I have not given up on making music! This week I've had a few moments of good inspiration. I was tinkering with it most days, last night, and will again today. I still think I suck at it but practice is the only way I will ever learn.
+I vacated my spot near Alamo yesterday and arrived at a warmer section of the Mojave desert. I was able to pick up a new 7 gallon water container at the store, upping my water capacity to 21 gallons. This will help me stay out longer without needing to make a supply run to civilization. Where I slept last night and will again tonight, I have cell service for the first time in a week! So I'm finally able to update my blog and chat on tilde.town. I will also be diving into some online videos about writing music.
+Tomorrow I'm getting my adventure back on after a lazy week. I'm going into Gold Butte National Monument. I am going down a new access road I have not seen before, so what comes ahead will be a surprise. I'm excited to explore more of the desert of southern Nevada, and in the coming weeks will continue to bop around down here and see what's up. The weather at this time of the year is perfect!

 There is one small town I gravitate towards, because there is a church there I really like. I will be able to join them this Sunday for their special Easter service, which will be outdoors (my favorite!) and lunch will be served (free food!). The people there are very nice and I'm always super excited to see them. I might even be able to score another ride out into the mountains with a guy there that owns a lovely off-roading vehicle.
-There is much to look forward to in the future, but for now I need to conserve gasoline and lay low for a while. The campsite I have located is superb, so I will be here as long as possible. It is about time for me to wash my laundry, I don't think I will make it all the way to Saturday before I have to use the one laundromat within...many miles.
