This video shows dashcam footage from my trip into Blythe, California, from some free dispersed camping land near Ehrenberg, Arizona. I needed to head to Standage Tire and Auto for replacement trailer tires. The existing tires were due for a change, and a fast leak in one hastened that happening. Luckily, my TPMS alerted me … Read more
Last weekend, I took a break from RV maintenance and headed out for a little adventure in Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. My destination?

2024/25 Snowbird Trip Video Playlist We’ve been down near Ajo, Arizona for almost two months now.

That project really took a chunk … Read more

One of the most common questions I get online is “How do you find those gorgeous southwest desert boondocking locations you visit?” I wish there were a simple answer, but the fact of the matter is it takes a fair bit of research. There isn’t one all-encompassing site or database to send folks to. Since … Read more
