A short drive up the mountain Beuna Vista, Colorado, past a horrific looking commercial host spring resort, is the town of St Elmo, the “most original ghost town in Colorado” (their words, not mine), founded in 1880. It is also touted as Colorado’s “best preserved” ghost town, and while that...
Just over two years ago, I started following Kerri on Instagram (at the behest of two friends… I swear, I wasn’t stalking or anything) and soon afterwards commented on an image she posted of Bodie State Historic Park. That comment, although short, was our first interaction, and something we both...
We are back in gold country to visit Kerri’s parents for a week before heading over the Sierra’s. In our last visit here we did not get out all that much. What little exploring I did (I say I as Kerri has been everywhere in this area) consisted of the...
It was the perfect plan I tell you. We were going to spend one more week in the van upon arriving back in the USA. A week in Joshua Tree National Park, and surrounding area, before moving back into the Airstream. The kink in the plan was this week’s spring...
After leaving the Kenai area, the plan was to spend a week somewhere between there at Homer where we would again spend a week. We had a few options, the first being Ninilchick where we stopped in to the Old Village to peak around…

A few years back I visited the Chiricahua National Monument for a hike while staying at a RV park in Wilcox, AZ. Also planned that day was to visit Fort Bowie just up the mountain but the 8 miles of washboard dirt road scared me away. I had even purchased...
I have spent this past week boondocking not far out of Tombstone, Arizona. Even though I have been in this area multiple times in recent years, it has become something of a tradition to pop in here for at least one week when I am in Southern Arizona. This year...
The area was initially settled as a mining camp called Turquoise after the mineral which had been mined by Native Americans in the area. The Turquoise post office was established on October 22, 1890, and lasted only a few years until September 17, 1894. When local miner John Gleeson registered...
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...
