Making our way back to the US we stayed at Desert Paradise in Yuma for a week to re-provision with trips to the massive supermarkets, Walmart, and delivery from Costco. Our next stop the Verde Valley RV Park in Cottonwood, AZ near Sedona, and the awesome red rock hiking trails. We were headed to New […]

2018 Highlights
That’s a wrap for 2018. We started off the new year with friends, in Anza-Borrego, went to another Xscapers bash in Arizona and California, went back to Baja, drove Highway 395 in California, back in the NW for summer and fall, enjoyed the awesomeness of Moab, Utah, and finished the year in Arizona. Here’s a […]
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 […]
Bago Blogging
We’ve been asked by Winnebago to write for their lifestyle blog – WinnebagoLife. Our first post on the Class A RV as an adventure mobile is up on the site. Yes, Mom, it’s a paid gig!
Sedona/Cottonwood
From Goosenecks we headed Southwest to Cottonwood outside of Sedona. We had stayed last Spring at the Verde Valley Thousand Trails and it was one of our favorites but a little hard to get into because many people feel the same way. Jaime managed to get us a two week reservation which went by pretty quickly. […]
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 […]
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 […]
