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 […]

Highway 395 North
After leaving Baja, we spent a few days at the Pio Pico and Wilderness Lakes Thousand Trails campgrounds in Southern California. Wilderness Lakes was anything but wilderness as it turned out to be surrounded by the ever-growing suburbs of LA. We did enjoy some wine tasting in nearby Temecula and Jaime cranked through some laundry. […]
Saddle Mountain
We met up with Kirk and Anya at Saddle Mountain, a great free camping spot outside of Phoenix. This place definitely ticks all of our free camping boxes with great views, fairly easy access, hiking, and wide open spaces. Bonus – really fast AT&T internet on the Mobley and broadcast digital HD TV to enjoy some […]
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 […]
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 […]
Alabama Hills, Lone Pine
We followed the sun and found beautiful 75 degree weather outside of Lone Pine, California. The Alabama Hills are familiar even if you have never been here as many commercials, movies, and TV shows have been filmed here. The hills feature otherworldly rock formations and sit at the base of Mt. Whitney and the Eastern […]
