Left handed

Way back in February while boondocking outside of Ajo, Arizona Kerri and I ate dinner at the 100 Estrella Restaurant (pretty much the only restaurant in Ajo worthy of more than a single star). There, along with our food, she ordered a “Nitro” Milk Stout from the bar which went...

Classic Video Games & Pinball

There was a time when I would mow a lawn each week, grab my $7 payment and ride my BMX bike to the nearest arcade and blow every last hard earned quarter on Galaga or Space Invaders. Over the years, my tastes developed to include pinball. In my late teens...

Still Cellars

Still Cellars is a distillery housed in an off-beat industrial area of Longmont, Colorado. Longmont is not even a very hip place, so when suggested to me by a blog reader(thank you Janel!) I took advantage to setup an evening out at Still Cellars. Considering how much Kerri enjoys her...

Bandera Volcano revisit

I must preface this post with the truth that I left my camera back at camp, so I am using the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum Instagram pictures in place of my lack there of. On my final full day in the Tucson area I visited the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum which is...

Darby Wells Cemetery

Searching for some information online about Darby Wells turned up little other than blog posts from other’s who have camped here. One thing that did pop up as out of the ordinary was the Find A Grave website which mentioned a cemetery just down the road from where I am...

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...
