Homebase Life, Pandemic-Style

Currently at our homebase in Deming, New Mexico: Yeah, I know it's been a long time since I've posted anything here, but honestly it's been a pretty boring time being cooped up at our homebase as we self-isolate from the pandemic.

We're just starting our fifth full day in our latest campsite on Forest Road 151, just north of Flagstaff, Arizona. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to park for a couple of weeks.
