Wilcox, AZ & Chiricahua National Monument

Ashley Longnecker / March 13, 2018

We packed up and headed out of Lost Dutchman with boondocking in mind. We had been hooked up for far too long in campgrounds. Even though they were some of our favorites, we were ready for open spaces and zero neighbors. However, it didn't quite work out that way.

Picacho Peak State Park & Lost Dutchman State Park

Ashley Longnecker / March 11, 2018

After we left beautiful Ajo, we headed to Picacho Peak State Park. We were looking forward to many hikes in the area but we seem to have brought the rain and cold temperatures with us. Since we don’t have rain gear, we got a lot of work done the few days we were there. At least the views were nice. 

What's In Our Kitchen?

Ashley Longnecker / March 05, 2018

Before we started traveling full-time, I read everything I could about downsizing, simplifying, and living on the road. I read so many blogs, but when it came to simplifying my kitchen it was a huge process.

When we moved into our 5th wheel, our first trip was to Indiana where my sister proceeded to get rid of nearly half of what I had kept. It was painful but actually very helpful.

Since then, I’ve simplified a bit more and sometimes I’m still overwhelmed by how much stuff we have. I think we could do better and have less, but for now… let’s talk about what we kept in our kitchen!

Charming Ajo, AZ

Ashley Longnecker / February 19, 2018

I’ve been sitting on this post for a while now. Not quite knowing how to describe our time spent in Ajo. We were just trying to escape the cold evenings in Sierra Vista, but what originated as a one week stay quickly turned into three. 

If you have driven through Ajo, you probably didn’t even think twice about staying there. But as with most small towns, if you take some time to really explore the community, you may be surprised at what a gem these places can be. 

Exploring Hereford, Arizona

Ashley Longnecker / February 07, 2018

When we left Patagonia, we decided to just drive around the mountain and find a place to stay near Sierra Vista. We ended up in a small town called Hereford just south of Sierra Vista. We drove down a rugged dirt road and dropped the Airstream at a nearby parking lot so that we could scout for a good campsite. At this point it was nearing sunset and we were trying to get set up before dark. Rule #1 - never get to a campsite that you don’t know when it’s dark!
