April 27, 2021 The night was not calm. The wind blew pretty much all night. There were also some big gusts of wind that blew through the night. The only thing good about the wind, is while the wind blew, the dogs and roosters were quiet. About 3:30 am, everyone else came out of their …

Into Mexico
April 26, 2021 Eva and I woke up early to get our last shower in the US. Since there is no daylight savings time in Arizona, the sun comes up early so the group was ready to head to the border at 7:30 am. We crossed the border from Douglas, AZ to Agua Prieta, Sonora, …
From Home to the Border
April 22, 2021 We left home around 9:30 am and drove south through Utah and camped in the desert near Lake Powell. We camped near some rocks and the next morning Eva released the theme song and dance for this trip. On our way south from Lake Powell we stopped and hiked to the Horseshoe …
Near Miss on Cutler Reservoir
March 6, 2021 Today I went paddling with the kayaking MeetUp group to Cutler Reservoir. It was mostly a good trip, but we had a scary situation that could have ended in tragedy. We all met at the Cutler boat ramp at 10 am. I was a little worried about it getting cold, however, when …
King of Arizona
Jan 23, 2021 It was a windy night with lightening and thunder, but no rain at our camp. In the morning we drove into Lake Havasu City and stopped at London Bridge. We walked the waterfront and took a few pictures. It was sad to see all the closed businesses. There only a few people …

No Stars in Star Wars Canyon
Jan 17, 2021 It was a warm night and morning so we got out of bed earlier than normal. As we were leaving camp a Park Ranger drove by. We stopped her and told her about the vandalism we witnessed at the Racetrack. I gave her the pictures and video and she was glad to …
Magic Rocks on the Racetrack
Jan 16, 2021 Last night we were the only ones in the center of a 100 square mile valley and it was dead quiet. However, a car drove by about 6 am to break the silence. After breakfast we drove from Teakettle Junction to the Racetrack. The Racetrack Playa is an almost perfectly round dry …
Entering the Valley of Death
Jan 15, 2021 We were up pretty early and left camp a little after 8 am. About 10 miles down the road was the ghost town of Rhyolite, NV. Just before town was the Goldwell Open Air Museum. It contained some interesting displays. We walked around and took a few pictures. We then continued to …
Southern Utah Trip – November 2020
November 2, 2020 We decided to take one last trip for the year while the weather was still good. The forecast in the south was for the highs in the low 70’s and the lows in the high 40’s. So perfect weather for the desert. We didn’t get out of town and headed down I-15 …
