Going Indoors

April 24, 2023April 25, 2023 Shana And Marcus Leave a comment

By Shana Oh, the challenges we face in this life are grand. The plans we make, and the things that seem to continuously get in the way of those plans.  It’s been two years now since Marcus and I started up the coast of California, and we’ve yet to make it out of SoCal. We […]

Doug and Melanie Get Stuck in AZ

February 23, 2023September 23, 2023 Doug and Melanie Leave a comment

Imagine having a breakdown when you’re off-grid. You get your truck towed to a repair place but they don’t know when it’ll be fixed. So you’re back at your campsite for who knows how long. With no one in sight. No electric hook-ups, no running water, unreliable cell service. And you’re surrounded by rats—obnoxious rats. […]

From Shelly: Tracy and I camped near Ajo last year, but Doug’s written a more thorough description here plus taken gorgeous photos. Just fyi: my posts are about finding our boondocking site here and the beauty of Ajo here. We recently boondocked near Ajo, Arizona, just north of the Organ Pipe National Monument, in the […]

Doug & Melanie at Kofa National Wildlife Refuge

December 23, 2022December 23, 2022 Doug and Melanie Leave a comment

Melanie and I spent almost two weeks in Kofa National Wildlife Refuge in southwest Arizona.  The funny thing is we saw less wildlife in the refuge than we have seen anywhere.  The main species the preserve is trying to protect are bighorn sheep and pronghorn antelope.  It was hunting season for the sheep so they […]

Hey everyone!

Nudist Camping: What Is That?

November 20, 2022September 23, 2023 Doug and Melanie 1 Comment

Hello Everyone, This is Doug and Melanie, the former Airstreamers.  We are on the road again.   Last year, we discovered a small hot spring resort in New Mexico (and I use the term, “resort,” very loosely).  We enjoyed it so much we returned this year and stayed two weeks.  The place is Faywood Hot Springs.

Shana & Marcus Take on Foodie Land

May 20, 2022September 23, 2023 Shana And Marcus 3 Comments

At our camping spot here on the Del Mar Fairgrounds in California, we can see the ocean to our west, and directly south there’s a lagoon that rises and falls with the tide. We’ve fished off the banks with hopes of casting in just the right spot to pull a halibut off the lagoon bed.  […]
