Borrego wind tunnel

After an early Xmas with Kerri’s family in the South Bay last weekend, we did make it down to Borrego Springs in one and a half days of driving. It is nice to be back in Borrego Springs as it holds a special place in both our hearts as the...

Whittier Alaska

Whittier took me by surprise. In fact, it was not on our itinerary at all due to earlier advice that there was “nothing there” from other travelers. With the choice being Whittier or extra days sitting in the big city of Anchorage, we took the drive through the tunnel into...

The battle of Kelly Lake

It was a possibility to drive all the way into Kenai after leaving Hope. The choice had not been made until just 30 miles shy of arriving in the Kenai area. Instead of going all the way into the city for the weekend, we would stop at one of the...

Knik River Public Use Area

After leaving Nancy Lake Rec Area we rolled to Palmer where our first choice of boondocking location fell through. I mean, it was possible to camp there but it was cramped and nothing to do outside the trailer. The Knik River Public Use Area was down the highway a few...

Deep into a second week in Grand Teton

After the kayaking adventures of the past weekend the weather came in to rain on our parade, so to speak. The work week has been just that, work-work-work which is not necessarily a bad thing. A few days of hard work allows more play time come the weekend where we...

Roughing it in Grand Teton National Forest

It is a funny feeling; not looking forward to moving onto the next location. That is the reality of this place to Kerri and I, we have been looking forward to the Teton Forest for months and now that we are here we are happy to sit idle for as...

Going to Grand Teton

I knew it was a little risky to start moving North so early in the season, but we had spent the last four weeks in RV parks and the options in Colorado for boondocking is very slim at this time of the year. Instead of waiting around for the weather...

Cottonwood-Sedona boondocking

After a failed attempt to camp South of Cottonwood on Thousand Trails Road (it was just not very pretty and too crowded) I had to settle on a backup location. Smack in between of Cottonwood and Sedona on highway 89A is Loy Butte Road leading into the Coconino National Forest....

Indian Bread Rocks

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...

Ajo, AZ – Darby Wells Rd

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...
