  “There’s no normal life, Wyatt, it’s just life. Get on with it.”   ~ Doc Holliday ~ Christmas was fast-approaching and we had plans of being in New Mexico for the holiday, so we chose to pass up spending time in Tucson this time around and headed straight for Tombstone. A few miles before the town, we turned off onto a long and bumpy dirt road that eventually led us to another narrow dirt road and a grassy pasture where we could set up camp. We were once again in our boon-docking element; surrounded by gnarly prairie trees, climbable rocky hills, and mooing mama cows. A visit to the town of Tombstone was an absolute must, and if you’ve ever seen the movie, you’d know just what to expect! The town itself was quaint and definitely old western-style, with a variety of reenactment shows to choose from as well as horse carriages and dressed-up cowboys walking around. We checked out the O.K. Corral and met the actors out in the street (looking just like Wyatt, Morgan, Virgil, and ...

  “Enter His gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to Him; bless His name!” ~ Psalm 100:4 ~ *I mentioned in the previous post that it has been a long time since I’ve written or updated the blog, and it has. Part of the reason is that life is just plain busy and I juggle quite a few responsibilities, but it also happened that my YouTube account got deleted over the summer and along with it, every last blog video we had. I thought the majority were gone for good and didn’t want to address the volume of work it would take just to get what we already had back, so I kept putting everything off. Over the holidays, I realized I was now a full year behind in writing about our travels (wow- who zapped 2024 off the timeline that quick?), and I missed getting feedback from family on things when I did post. So, I tackled the growing elephant in the room, and yes, it was quite a project. We’re not all the way back and running yet like we were (Justin will have to carv...

  “The pain of parting is nothing to the joy of meeting again.” ~ Charles Dickens ~ Friends and Family!!! It’s been forever since I’ve updated, I KNOW!! Life!! I’ll mention more about it in another post, and the videos are going to be few and far between (sorry, sorry), but let’s at least get back to the memories for now - it’s been a full year and a FULL year since I last recorded our adventures, so let’s see… where were we? Oh, yes. Wonderful, warm and sunny Arizona!! We crossed over from California, passing through Yuma (where a great many snowbirds and seniors stay in the colder months) and heading north on Hwy 95. We landed in a remote and beautiful site outside Palm Canyon and the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge. It was just perfect dispersed camping on what seemed like hard-packed volcanic rock, surrounded by cactus plants and a whole lot of open, uninhabited desert wilderness. The sunsets were amazing and we had a sweet view of the Kofa Mountains to the east. What an awesome ...
