A short drive and hike from the boondocking location is an old prospector cabin ruins. Not much remains but holes in the ground and two small walls of what would have been a tiny cabin a few miles outside of Tombstone, Arizona. From Wikipedia – Brunckow’s Cabin is a historic...
These past days have been spent boondocking in the desert not far out of Tombstone. Much of my time has been spent socializing again as I have company with the Aluminarium duo and the MaliMish family, both in their luxurious airstream getup’s. I parked Big Blue a distance away to...
The past days I have been camped right outside the McCarrell Ranch. Coming here dates back to my first winter road trip with the van, before they had event built the house. I think I may have gained a few pounds from Nancy’s fantastic cooking (worth every bit of it)....
We arrived at the McCarrell Ranch where we will be spending the weekend camped nearby in the desert. Pat and Nancy, as always, have been great company filled with good advice from boondocking to baking sour-dough bread. Moose got to meet the original Moose; Kamori. As much as each would...
South West of Silver City on highway 90 is another segment of the Gila National Forest. The highway crosses the Continental Divide Trail, complete with a nice area to pull off and hike a bit or camp. While there are no established camping areas, it is easy enough to spot...

Alright, I admit that apple pie was the primary reason I wanted a dutch oven. A home van-cooked pie tops off a long day hiking or biking like nothing else, so after my recent successes in dutch oven cooking I whipped up my plans for van-made apple pie. A ‘from...
Moose and I camped at the Dragonfly Trailhead in search of a little adventure. Truth be told, this puppy needs to get out of the van and *do* something and having a target to shoot (photo) at the end of the trail spurred me into some activity as well. Moose...
Since I was stationary and had 120v power for the day I figured it was a good time to plug in that slow cooker and make up the chicken chilli I had in store. It was simple; just slice-or-dice and put everything into the pot. 2 hours later I had...
I pulled into the Truth or Consequences Moose Lodge in the early afternoon. After some time meeting and greeting with my fellow Moose neighbors, I got some chores done before the big game. It was a potluck dinner with hundreds of members coming out to watch the game together. I...
