The Bandera Volcano, though inside the El Malpais National Monument boundary, is privately owned and run. For $12 you can hike 3/4 mile trail into the crater – so we did – for Kerri’s first and my second time. Feel free to read my previous encounter with this volcano if...
Last year I was on my way here when I got the call from Aluminarium to meet them at Buckeye Regional Park on the other side of Phoenix. Since I had not yet settled it, I went ahead and turned West to meetup with them, leaving Roosevelt Lake for another...
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...
I have visited the San Pedro National Conservation Area once before in 2011 during my first adventures in boondocking thanks to the McCarrell’s offering up their land to me back then. Since then I have been in the area just about every winter, but have only just decided to revisit...

I’m far from one of the first people to use a dentist in Mexico for regular dental work, and there are many better resources then this blog on that subject. Still, I feel compelled to write a blog post and the trip into Los Algodones is the most recent happening...
Following the short trip into the greater LA area, I returned to camping with the Airstream crowd who took Big Blue along with them from Borrego Springs about an hour South just of Interstate 8 not far out of El Centro, CA at an OHV area called Plaster City (because...
I still have yet to leave California, instead choosing to hang around with the small Airstream crowd that have continued to let me “van-up” the place. Last night, we… …instead of me writing up a blog post describing what happened, let me just send you off to Aluminarium who does...
