From Boise, Idaho we headed to Moab, Utah with a quick overnight in Ogden outside of Salt Lake City. We camped in the same area as last year but found a spot a little closer to the highway with great cell signal and views. Klondike Bluffs is on state land and it’s free to camp with […]

Lake Powell
A relatively short drive from Cottonwood took us back up to Lone Rock Campground on Lake Powell. I had wanted to explore the slot canyons in the area but couldn’t find any easy boondocking so we came back to the same spot we stayed in this past spring. The views of the Lake here are […]
Goosenecks State Park
From Moab we headed South towards Valley of The Gods. We had originally planned to boondock down a dirt road but Jaime’s iPhone failed to direct us correctly and my GPS POI had us going up the wrong direction. Seeing signs for Goosenecks State Park, I made a gametime decision to check it out. For […]
Moab
We first visited Moab in 2009 in our travel trailer. Moab is a mecca for hiking, mountain biking, and offroad adventuring with two amazing National Parks (Arches and Canyonlands). Our friends Denny and Veronica from RV Outlawz posted some pretty great pictures of their stay there and with the usual fall dampness setting in, we decided […]
The Oregon Trail
From Zion we started our migration back to Oregon. We stayed in our first Walmart Parking lot outside of Ceder City. We had planned to stay in a great National Forrest area but the weather was pretty chilly so we opted for the Walmart which turned out to be fine. We would definitely come back […]
The Subway at Zion
On our last full day camping outside of Zion National Park, I was lucky to score a last minute permit to hike the amazing Subway. I did the non-technical bottom up route. The top down route requires repelling. The hike is only 9 miles but is definitely challenging as you have to cross back and […]
Virgin Dam Boondocking
From Lake Powell we drove a couple hours north to a boondocking spot close to Zion National Park by the Virgin River dam. Jaime questioned my sanity for taking the Bago down a slightly sketchy looking rutted dirt road to the edge of a canyon and refused to even look as I drove. We scouted […]
Lake Powell
After getting smoked out of our Grand Canyon boondocking spot, we headed North to Lake Powell. We had stayed a night in Page, AZ in 2009 on our Tango Trailer tour but hadn’t really explored the area. This time we camped at Lone Rock just across the Utah border. The Park Service lets you camp […]
