Though I looked up the state gun laws before coming in, testing them against a law enforcement officer is still not the most comfortable thing. Much like your airbags in a collision; you know they are on your side and will likely save you, but it may hurt real bad...
I left Willcox, AZ in mid morning, after stopping by ACE Hardware to pickup some insulation for my trailer’s water pipes. I figure it would be a day’s work when I am sitting at some park, and it will prepare the trailer for the expected 20 degree nights that will...
After spending the night on the side of the road 15 miles north of Chiricahua National Monument and taking care of work through out the morning, I was able to roll into the park by 1pm. I was quickly blown away by the simple fact of trees, something Arizona does...
I did not read up on the history of this area, though I did see that this was a stretch of land which multiple families attempted to raise cattle on in the 1800’s only to be run off by the Apache. Now the land is in the hands of the...
Wind kicked up just after the alarm woke me at 6am. By 6:14, I was outside trying to rescue my awning which was just hanging on with the wind trying desperately to rip it off the trailer. It did not succeed, but it has kept my inside for the most...
Conor recommended I see the Pima air and space museum while I was in the Tucson area, so today I finally made the 10 mile trip. I arrived as early as possible as I was told that it is easily a full day visit if not more. Getting there before...
Yesterday we got new neighbors; Heather and Will backed into the space beside us with horse in tow. As we spoke last night, I found out Heather would be competing in the Dressage competition on Saturday. Since I was planning to take some pictures of the competition anyway, she (and...
As it turns out, Saguaro is divided into two sections. Today, we adventured into the Western portion of the park (West of Tuscon) with less than an 80 mile drive round trip. The park is very small in comparison to most other parks, but I still found it worth the...
Today we head into Tombstone Arizona, hoping for a little peace and quiet while visiting a historic place… but, as it turns out, Tombstone is quite the tourist trap much like Fisherman’s wharf in SF. Little of Tombstone-proper exists now, all overrun by tourism and commerce. Heck, you can even...
I figured that, since I plan to be on the road much more this year, I will update this blog for family and friends at a more frequent rate. Maybe a few times a week, maybe daily… who knows, but you should get a greater sense of where I am...
