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 […]

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 […]
Soaking in the Desert
We’re wrapping up our extended stay in Desert Hot Springs at Sam’s Family Spa, and will soon be moving on. And it’s been a marvelous nearly month here. At $540 for a monthly spot (plus electric), it’s absolutely indulgent. Compared to the weekly and daily rates, it’s quite a deal and we don’t feel bad […]
Keeping It Clean in Desert Hot Springs
As much as we love being in motion, constantly changing our location and adventures – we also look forward to our extended stays of a few weeks in one location. When we arrived to Desert Hot Springs a little over a week ago, we had a long list of projects we wanted to tackle. Amongst […]
Birthday Week on the Road (an Untraditional Nomadic Thanksgiving)
For the past many years, Chris and I have headed back east for holidays with the family. While we love our families, and spending time with them – we wanted to experience a different winter and decided to stick around the desert southwest this year. We’ve been caravanning with our WheelingIt buddies the past month, and discovered that both […]
Wrapping up Highway 395 – Lone Pine and Trona Pinnacles
We quite reluctantly left our awesome boondocking spot overlooking Bishop, CA. We could have easily enjoyed a few more days perched there, but cooler weather was keeping us reminded that we needed to keep pace heading south. Paul had an Instagram friend waiting to meet up with us all in Lone Pine at the Tuttle […]
