Recently, I was hiking in the Petrified Forest. Noticed it got late for a comfortable camp setup. So, I geocache a basecamp. Found it off-road, but not before some beautiful driving in the desert. View here and let me know what you think: Ranger Cabin T

Hey folks, ever traversed in your favorite biome and come across someone from back home? Well, this happened to me and my wife during a recent excursion to New Mexico. The guy from my hometown was hospitable but impressed us with his setup in the middle of Dog Canyon. He pulled out all the...

I'm headed out to work on the road and explore Oregon, Nevada, and California deserts. I'll be driving for long days, working some from the car and from the road where wifi allows, and seeking clear dark sky camping locations to set up telescopes in the evening.View Rally Point

Back in January a buddy and I attempted a traverse of the El Camino del Diablo in less than ideal conditions. In the midst of a wet winter, we knew sections near the Pinacate Lava Flow and San Cristobol Wash would be difficult. We were stuck in mud of the worst sort for an hour east of Pinacate...
