A Whole New World 3/8/22

What a crazy week it has been! After being in the same spot for a month, it seemed we were getting itchy feet and needed to move on. Our space was also starting to look very “lived in” and we didn’t want to alter the ecosystem too much. So one day, after I finished workContinue reading “A Whole New World 3/8/22”

Desert Ice Storm 3/1/22

Like most people, when we thought of the desert, we pictured a scene out of Lawrence of Arabia: hills of sand with no plants, animals, or rain. We couldn’t have been more wrong! Not only does the Sonoran Desert have life but it has life in abundance! It might only be the first day ofContinue reading “Desert Ice Storm 3/1/22”

When a door closes, a window opens 2/23/22

Patience is waiting. Not passively waiting. That is laziness. But to keep going when the going is hard and slow – that is patience. Leo Tolstoy We have been readjusting to changes that will help us make more dreams come true in the future. All in all, progress has been happening on multiple fronts andContinue reading “When a door closes, a window opens 2/23/22”

A new place to call “home” 2/17/22

Not far from where we were before on the State Trust Land in Phoenix, Arizona, we found a most wonderful spot. We had scoped out this back corner before we left, but hadn’t “picked” an exact spot because all the land is free game and ‘first come, first served’. We were sure to arrive backContinue reading “A new place to call “home” 2/17/22″

So what’s Quartzsite all about? 2/9/22

Everyone we have run into recently has been telling us about Quartzsite, so we figured since we were 20 minutes away, we probably should go check it out. We left Skooliepalooza on Sunday morning and went to Quartzsite to find a good BLM camping spot for the night. We found a lovely spot in theContinue reading “So what’s Quartzsite all about? 2/9/22”

Skooliepalooza 2.0 1/31/22

Continued from here We hit the road and formed likely the largest bus convoy since the invention of the modern school bus (which was 1927, in case you were wondering). We were thrilled that the new location was actually back in Arizona, about an hour south, very near Quartzsite. We were all following the GPSContinue reading “Skooliepalooza 2.0 1/31/22”

To Skooliepalooza… or not!

The week finally came! We have been preparing for Skooliepalooza 2022 for two years now and we were finally just a few days away! While the exact location is subject to change each year, the location is always near Parker, Arizona. Where we have been parked north of Phoenix is about 3 hours from Parker.Continue reading “To Skooliepalooza… or not!”

When life gives you lemons… 1/4/22

… make some damn good lemonade, spike it with tequila, and walk it across the desert to a bonfire of a guy you met just a few hours before! Or at least, that’s what we did lol! Ahhh, the first post of a new year! We wonder what new adventures await us! Already we haveContinue reading “When life gives you lemons… 1/4/22”
