After leaving Lake Mead Moose and I have done little but drive. It is about 480 miles between Lake Mead and Moab (my destination) but those that know me also know that 100 miles per day of driving is a long way for me. Obviously we did a few nights...
It was not on the agenda, but a long day of driving and a well placed off-ramp got me to pull into Fremont Indian State Park in Utah. I dropped into the Visitor’s Center to ask about camping (yes, $15 for off-season full hookups) where I also watched the 15-minute...
As is usual for me, I do not get far on any given day. After leaving my Lake Mead boondocking location, I drove only 48 miles to a pre-planned and common boondocking place that overlooks Overton, NV (map below). It is nothing special in terms of location, but it does...
On the final day of my time at Lake Mead I visited the Redstone Dune Picnic area, which also has a short trail. The red sandstone rock formations were the star of the show, of course. T’was a short hike, but it tired Moose out enough to warrant a nap.
I’ve been boondocking at the Government Wash area of Lake Mead. It is free to camp here for up to 14 days. Truth be told, you do have to buy a weekly pass for $10 to make it official, but considering what you get for that $10 it is money...
My slow migration to the Las Vegas area was interrupted with the ever present duty of trying to keep a puppy entertained as I travel. He is only content to sit in the passenger seat once he is good and worn out, so I try to find places I can...
This past week I have been camped at Buckeye Hills Regional Park (map below). It is one of my “go to” places to boondock when I’m in western Arizona. I came here for my first time last year and enjoyed having the 4000+ acres all to myself. This time around,...
After taking January off from my van-adventures, I returned to the road on the 28th of January. One of my goals financially is to live on even less than the $1,000 per month of last year. With it still being mighty cold in Colorado, the main goal – other than...
On our way into the Phoenix area (from Globe) Moose and I stopped for a quick hike on the Arizona Trail in the Tonto National Forest where we hiked out a mile or two before turning back. This area of the trail reminded me a lot of the Mountain Park...
When I Google it, nothing comes up other than some maps (see below for map) … which is how I found it to begin with; GMap4 Topo as I was scanning my route of the next few days. Since it sits only 1 mile off the highway, down a semi-rough...
