We spent this past week boondocking not far outside of Bowie, Arizona at Indian Bread Rocks which has turned out to be another great addition to my list of boondocking locations here in the south west. This area is simply large rock formations within the Dos Cabezas Mountains Wilderness and...
Recalling where I was and what I was doing… One year ago – One year ago this week I was just finishing up another week;s camping with Leigh and Brian at Buckeye Hills Regional Park just outside of Phoenix. When we parted ways it was to be for some time,...
A few years back I visited the Chiricahua National Monument for a hike while staying at a RV park in Wilcox, AZ. Also planned that day was to visit Fort Bowie just up the mountain but the 8 miles of washboard dirt road scared me away. I had even purchased...
I have spent this past week boondocking not far out of Tombstone, Arizona. Even though I have been in this area multiple times in recent years, it has become something of a tradition to pop in here for at least one week when I am in Southern Arizona. This year...

I have visited the San Pedro National Conservation Area once before in 2011 during my first adventures in boondocking thanks to the McCarrell’s offering up their land to me back then. Since then I have been in the area just about every winter, but have only just decided to revisit...
I must preface this post with the truth that I left my camera back at camp, so I am using the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum Instagram pictures in place of my lack there of. On my final full day in the Tucson area I visited the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum which is...
Even though I had my first kayaking adventure only two weeks ago, I am now the proud new owner of a used [beginners] sea-kayak, complete with rudder, paddles, and air bag (for addition floatation and easier rescue-ability). I have been keeping my eye out for a kayak or canoe for...
Even though I have already visited Saguaro National Park in early 2011 I tend to visit a National Park when camped nearby one, no matter if I already have . This week my “home” is in Gilbert Ray Campground just outside the National Park boundary. Yep, you heard right, paid camping...
