Searching for some information online about Darby Wells turned up little other than blog posts from other’s who have camped here. One thing that did pop up as out of the ordinary was the Find A Grave website which mentioned a cemetery just down the road from where I am...
It is funny how I go into an area with huge misconceptions of what it will be. I had always figured that Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument had one (alright, maybe a few) massive Organ Pipe Cactus and some land around it. I was hoping to gawk at this one...
Ajo (Ah-Hoe) Arizona – or just outside of Ajo – at Darby Wells BLM, is where I have moved since Mittry Lake. The 160+ mile drive is the furthest I have moved in a single day since January 1st when I made the drive from Northern California to Borrego Springs...
Moose and I borrowed a kayak and set out for our first ever kayaking adventure. He was wary at first (I may have been too), but after he realized that we could chase the ducks on their own territory he was all for it. We set pursuit for every duck...
A man living in a van likely has many problems, most of which I have had to deal with during my 3 years full-timing in Big Blue. Then came along a moment in time that made me realize a conundrum that I hadn’t even known I had until that very...
The decision to stay near the Yuma area for another week was made after the initial trip to Algodones. Follow up appoints were made for dental work so additional time staying local was needed – however, a move to Arizona has finally calmed the nerves aftering being in California for...
I’m far from one of the first people to use a dentist in Mexico for regular dental work, and there are many better resources then this blog on that subject. Still, I feel compelled to write a blog post and the trip into Los Algodones is the most recent happening...
I’d like to say I have some manly adventures to report, but I continue to fail those vicarious followers. Since leaving our boondocking location near Plaster City, California, it has been days of work and evenings of happy-hours and socializing. Not necessarily picturesque environments to tease people into the van...
So yea, if you haven’t heard, I’ve been hanging around a group of Airstreamers (and a WanderLodge) for some time now. One of the couples (Aluminarium) have been developing a web site with a huge database of free and paid RV camping, including tons of boondocking locations. The site publicly...
Following the short trip into the greater LA area, I returned to camping with the Airstream crowd who took Big Blue along with them from Borrego Springs about an hour South just of Interstate 8 not far out of El Centro, CA at an OHV area called Plaster City (because...
