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...

We stumbled upon the Amargosa Opera House while on our way to Death Valley. While we had not planned to do anything in this town other fix a sandwich and move on, we lucked into a tour that was just about to take place so we leaped in the doors...
