I hear rumors about a vintage RV trailer park in Bisbee where one can rent any number of old school RV’s for a night, a week, or a month. Could The Shady Dell be all that, or is it a tourist trap with fleabag white trash trailers? The location initially seemed to indicate that I…

Yaqui Ridge
I leave the Coronado Cave and jump back on the dirt road that seems to wind up the mountainside. I reach the top to find that the road ends, but connections to the Arizona Trail head both North and South. I choose to go South. It’s only been a few weeks since our country has…
New River
I drop off my RZR and head on over to New River, the closest town to me. I was less than two hours from my home, but I would rather spend my weekends exploring new places. Besides, this was my first time renting an RV to spend the night in. The neighborhood is hidden away…
RZR Ridin’
The ides of March. The time of year where Spring is knocking on Winter’s door, and kids get out to enjoy Spring Break for those that are in school. For me, it was time to try something new, hitting the desert trails on a RZR. The idea behind renting a RZR for the day was…
The Sanctuary at Sacred Mesa
I exit the Boynton Canyon Vortex and decide to try, once again, to find the infamous Robber’s Roost cave that is somewhere in these Red rocks. Off trail I go, wandering through the Red Rock wilderness, yet the cave eludes me once again. No wonder robbers used this place as a hideout from the law….
Boynton Vortex
It’s been a few weeks, more than enough time for the snow that came ripping through the area last month to have melted away. Back to Sedona I go, with the plan this time around being to venture deep into the Boynton Canyon Vortex. Although I arrive early (7 a.m.) the parking lot at the…
Tin Town
I leave Colossal Cave and head towards downtown Tucson. I’m staying close to the University of Arizona and the infamous 4th Street district. I’m hopeful to find a nice hole in the wall Mexican restaurant where I can fill up on tacos and beer before calling it a night. I’m in a nice, quiet neighborhood…
Colossal Cave
I return to Colossal Cave a couple of weeks after having camped here. My goal this time around was to actually enter and explore the cave itself. All the snow that had fallen earlier is completely gone. More vaccinations have also taken place across the country, in fact I myself just had my 2nd dose….
The Lookout Tower
The man in black heads back out to the Edge of the World. It’s the last month in the year of the Pandemic, and he feels that things are on the brink of destruction. People will not go quietly into the night, but instead will reveal their true evil in the dark recesses of the…
Dead Horse Ranch
“I need to slow down for awhile.” This has become increasingly clear over the past year. After more than a decade of jet setting around the country weekend after weekend, my body and mind are spent. I thought it would be very difficult to give up that lifestyle, but to the contrary, my body has…
Potato Lake
Back to the Mogollon Rim the man goes. Today he wants to fish, and so the search for Potato Lake begins. Deep into the forest he goes, off the main dirt road that winds along the Mogollon Rim, soon losing all cell phone coverage. It takes a few wrong turns without the aid of GPS,…
Rainbows End
After my hike of Colonel Devin was done, I headed East along the Mogollon Rim trying to find my resting spot for the night. Young, Arizona, has the self pronounced claim of being the place “Where the WILD WEST lives“, which is a claim that piqued my interest. Can one place in Arizona really stand…
