Join us as we hike down to Ross Dam (almost).
We were going downhill and realized that it might be a hard climb back up. We decided to continue. Well, we got down far enough that we could see the dam and we became concerned with the weather. So we turned around and started the upward climb. Elizabeth did not want to get wet and kept trying to run ahead but poor Dad was having to take multiple breaks. Fortunately, Mom was safe and sound in the truck this whole time.
This is part of our Season 3 Part 2 and was filmed in the second half of 2019.

We stayed at Pirate’s Den Resort in Parker, Arizona because we need to do laundry, empty our tanks, and refill fresh water before we went out in the desert for a couple of weeks.
We has multiple issues with this place. Please watch the video for details.
We will not stay here again.

Join us as we watch a bull elk protect his girls.
We had just left a laundromat in Washington state and we saw a sign that said to “Watch for Elk” and we joked about it being in the middle of this smaller city. Within a minute or so, we come across this herd.
As we watch, it appears that the Dad elk is running off the teenage boys and protecting his girls.
This is part of our Season 3 Part 2 and was filmed in the second half of 2019.
We spend a lot of time camping in the middle of nowhere. This type of camping with no hookups is referred to as boondocking.
In the western United States, there is a lot of public land managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). You can stay on most BLM land for free for 14 days. After 14 days, you usually only need to move 25 miles away and stay there for 14 days. Check with the local office or rangers for specific rules for the area.
Craggy Wash is one location that we heard a lot about. Craggy Wash requires that you are at least one mile away from the highway probably because it is located so close to the town of Lake Havasu City, Arizona. Lake Havasu City is where the original London Bridge was reassembled.
Craggy Wash was not really anything special when compared to other BLM land but we really liked it. Of course, we have liked all of the places that we have boondocked.
