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 […]
The Grand Canyon

Our northward migration continued to the Grand Canyon. We found another great boondocking site on Campendium just outside the park borders. I did a hike into the canyon on the South Kaibab trail. This is a pretty steep trail and the 7,000ft elevation at the canyon rim make for a difficult hike. Maybe a mule […]
Sedona

After Baja we started heading North as temperatures started to creep up in the desert and made plans to meet up with friends Kirk and Anya in Sedona, Arizona. We had read about a great boondocking spot outside of town on Campendium.com. Sedona and the area in general was pretty crowded as Easter approached but […]
San Felipe 250 Race

When we came down to San Felipe, the plan was to only stay for two weeks. The big San Felipe 250 off-road race, and ensuing madness, was coming to town so we needed to hit the road before. But then Lily at Victor’s RV Park let us know we could keep our spot and stay […]
San Felipe, Baja Mexico

We went down for two weeks of sun, sand, and fun with our Xscapers friends Denny and Veronica from RV Outlawz in San Felipe, Baja California, Mexico. Really nice weather and great company. The drive down was an easy 120 miles or so from El Centro, California. Here’s a video of our waterfront site from Denny. Not […]
Kofa Activites

We really enjoyed our almost two week stay off Palm Canyon Road in Kofa National Wildlife Refuge. Although the area has only one marked trail, there are many places to hikes. Here are the hikes we did: Palm Canyon This is a quick two mile hike to see a small grove of native Palm trees […]
Kofa Wildlife Refuge

After a crazy and crowded Quartzsite stay we were ready to get away from it all and seek some serious desert solitude. First, we headed back to Yuma and the Desert Paradise Encore park to restock. The weather finally warmed up and Yuma was starting to grow on us. We soaked up some sun, enjoyed […]
Crazy Quartzsite Arizona

For most of the year Quartzsite, Arizona is just a blip on the map and place to fill the gas tank before crossing the Colorado River into California. Come January, the area fills with RVers attending the giant RV Show. We camped for 13 days (1/14-1/18) outside town with the Xscapers a group of working aged […]
New Year in Anza-Borrego

We made a quick hop from Palm Springs to a boondocking area in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park for New Years. We had spent some time in mainly the Southern area of the park with my parents and wanted to see more of what the area had to offer. This is basically just wide open desert that […]
