    Day 26: All the cops in the donut shops: Sedona, AZ to Cottonwood, AZ

    Byadmin March 31, 2022January 7, 2025

    Oil change dilemma solved! Turns out I did not reset the reminder at last oil change. I still have up to 7000 km left on this change and that is plenty to get home! Whew. Means I don’t have to deal with any of my trust issues or the delays of things getting done more…

    Day 25: Quartzsite, AZ to Sedona, AZ

    Technicality: Not in Sedona, AZ. Southwest of Sedona on some BLM land. It’s moving day. Morning walk was a sedate 2km out down one of the “roads” on the BLM land we stayed on and then mostly the same path back. We packed up after breakfast and set out to the Quartzsite Refuse Transfer Site….

    Day 24: I got down on my knees: Quartzsite, AZ to Blythe, CA to Quartzsite, AZ

    We had some rain last night. The van was ready to go in case it got heavy as we are parked in a “wash”. A wash is effectively a dry creek. We didn’t want to be like Alexander Supertramp (I think he was still Chris McCandless then) when he lost his car. The rain was…

    He, hold on there buddy, you were going north. I know, I know. I’ll explain. Up at 0.4 Amps (~0700) because one of us did not close the bedroom widow and blinds on their side of the bedroom. Yup, it was me. But the breeze was nice! I decided to attempt the siphon draw again…

    Day 22: Be careful of your cravings: Lost Dutchman State Park, Apache Junction, AZ

    Byadmin March 28, 2022January 7, 2025

    Not a lot to report today as we mostly stayed at the same park. We did take a trip into town when we changed campsites for the third time here. Nice thing is that the van makes it easy to move. No hooking up (the trailer to tow vehicle, come on, that term can mean…

    Day 21: Me mind on fire – me soul on fire: Lost Dutchman State Park

    Day 21. That is 3×7=21. That is 3 full weeks of this adventure. We are about 6500 km in. Still going strong. If baking in a tin can doesn’t ruin it, what would? Morning walk was fantastic! Since it was so hot I was on the trail by 0727. I intended to go up the…

    Day 20: Chester’s Chicken: Tucson, AZ to Apache Junction, AZ

    Some years ago I went on a free range canoe camping trip with some wonderful friends and first born child. As with all canoe trips over several days, you tend to get a bit delirious by the end. We were staying at one of the expedition member’s cottage. On the final leg of the journey,…

    Day 19: No drive: Tucson, AZ

    There was a time, and a place. And today, this was the place to spend some time. Early wakeup cause we seem to still be on New Mexico time. Walk was relatively boring as I just did the grid of this luxury RV resort. Each section is 300 meters long and packed with millions of…

    Great night sleep in Kertchner State Park. Up early so I could get my walk in before my 0900 cave tour. Morning walk was great. Did the Foothills loop trail intentionally. Did not get lost. Trail had some significant elevation changes and interesting substrate. But it was a really nice walk. Here are some views…

    t’s a lovely day in the neighbourhood.  Chilly and windy last night.  Despite the fact the wind follows us everywhere, we had a nice walk around the campsite and toured the museum that is onsite.  It was pretty cool seeing the old cars, plane and artifacts.  There was even a big truck made my the…
