Ah.. the Big Tent. What some might say is the Center Camp of Quartzsite, the big draw of bringing together vendors and buyers. The main official selling area is held inside.. you guessed it.. a big tent. Moved to the south side of the city some years ago to provide more parking options (not that […]

Desert Boondocking off Plomosa Road – Quartzsite, AZ
We were sitting at the corner of the Borrego Salton Sea Way and Highway 86 after dumping our tanks at the Arco station there (free!), completing our awesome and overly-social Anza Borrego boondocking experience. The world was ours to discover, on our own schedule – we could go anywhere we wanted to. We literally pulled […]
Sunsets – One of the Threads that Weaves our Nomadic Fabric
There. I said it. I love sunsets. As the earth spins around its axis, the sun disappears from site. Magical lighting awakens the senses that lead us into nightfall. The skies dance with color, every moment the clouds paint a new scene on the aerial canvas before us. In a nomadic lifestyle, sunsets are both our constant […]
On Our Own Again.. Naturally
Since the end of August, we’ve been caravanning with our dear friends Nina & Paul. Never would we have imagined how comfortable and amazing 4 months spent traveling with anyone else could be. Especially two couples who are highly independent and like to do their own thing. Perhaps it’s precisely because each of us has […]
No Matter The Age.. No Matter the Rig.. We’re All Nomadic Peers
We still haven’t left our boondocking location near Borrego Springs. We really intended to when our tanks needed attention.. really. We did. After all, we just know there are other amazing places to explore in the desert southwest. But instead, we dumped and filled and came right back to our same exact spot. Well, actually 2 inches […]
A Bright New Year Starts in Borrego Springs
We’ve been having a lovely time hanging out in the Anza-Borrego desert these past couple weeks, our spot for observing the holidays last year. It’s a stunningly beautiful area, with ample free and unlimited boondocking nearby the darling town of Borrego Springs, which has all the basic amenities you might need – a post office, market, […]
Our 2014 Travel Route (and Year in Review)
We love this time of year, as we approach turning the calendar over to a new year ahead, and reflect on the year we are bidding adieu. Our past year end wrap-ups: 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 2014 was a wild and crazy year for us, albeit – one with relatively few miles. The Travel Our travels this year took […]
Happy Holidays
From our home to yours.. Wherever it might be parked or situated.. Whether you’ve been naughty or nice.. We’re wishing you a joyous holiday season!
Back in Boonie Bliss
When we set off over 8 years ago, we did a lot of remote camping in the boonies. A lot. For most of our first four years on the road in tiny travel trailers, we were boondocking pretty much off-grid all the time. We had some darn amazing experiences. In the past couple months we’ve […]
Our 12 Favorite Campsites of 2014
This year, we stayed in 70 different locations (yes, I counted.). And pretty much every single one of them had something special about them worth remarking on. When we sat down this year to pick our favorites, it was brutally difficult. Each spot we stopped at brings back a special memory. People we were visiting or traveling […]
