Time to Move On, Destination New Mexico

Currently at Pilot Knob BLM Long Term Visitor Area in Winterhaven, CA, just west of Yuma, AZ: Our annual visit to the Yuma area is drawing to a close. Our last two-week permit expires today, and with the weather starting to warm up into the mid-to-high 80's, we've decided it's time to chase 70° again …

On the Road Again, Expensive Lessons

Currently at Schulenburg RV Park in Schulenburg, Texas: We are finally back out on the road after spending 46 days and nights in the Escapees Rainbow's End RV Park in Livingston, Texas.

On The Road Again, Day 1: Deming to Van Horn

Currently at the Oasis RV Park in Van Horn, Texas. We are traveling back to my hometown of Tupelo, Mississippi to spend some time with family for Thanksgiving. I'll be doing a short update each day of our drive this week. It's so exciting to finally be on the road again, doing some serious nomad …

Trash Collecting, Fitbit, Art In the Park, Monsoon Approaching

Good Tuesday morning, everyone, from our summer camp in the Coconino National Forest near Flagstaff, Arizona! It's about 6:30 AM, the sun is shining, skies are blue, and it was a chilly 36° outside when I got up this morning. The weather has been near-perfect so we've been spending a lot of time outdoors. I've …

Weekend Sunshine, Old Lady Climbs Red Butte, More Snow (Really??)

We're still camped on Forest Road 320 about 20 miles south of the entrance to the South Rim of Grand Canyon. After all the rainy and snowy weather we had last week, we finally caught a break. This past Saturday and Sunday were absolutely beautiful! The skies were clear and blue, and while it was …

Day Trip to Flagstaff, Bizarre Weather, Why Stay Here?

It's been eight days since our last update here on the blog. It's not that there hasn't been anything exciting to talk about, but we have such poor cellular reception here that it's hard to get an internet connection for most of the day. For some reason it's better on the weekend, so I'm able …

Forest Boondocking, Moving to Williams, Watching the Weather

In our last regular blog post, we had just arrived at our boondocking spot on Forest Road 237 in the Coconino National Forest just southwest of Flagstaff. The day we arrived (Monday, April 29) was rainy and cool, and we even had hail on our first night there. The next day was overcast but didn't …

New Boondocking Spot Near Flagstaff, Rain, Hail and Mud

Note: We have a less-than-optimal cell signal at our new camp, so I'm not able to upload photos to the blog today. Yesterday (Monday) was moving day, as we had reached the fourteen-day limit on our stay in the Hilltop Campground in the Prescott National Forest outside of Prescott, Arizona. We were a little sad …

Getting Itchy Feet

It's another beautiful morning here at the Pilot Knob BLM LTVA in southern California, just west of Yuma, Arizona. We've been here for almost 10 weeks now, and while we're still enjoying it, our time here is winding to a close. This past week the afternoon temperatures hit 80° a couple of times, and it's …
