Hole In The Wall
Today’s post including the photos and video within come to you from the Hole in the Wall Campground near the center of the Mojave National Preserve.
Staying At the Salton Sea
Our time as workcampers has come to an end. We have left the Salton Sea area and begin our trek north through the deserts in pursuit of epic wildflower displays. Here are some photos from my time in the Salton Sea area.
Sin Blinds Us
We recently visited a hellscape in southern California called Slab city. A dark place inhabited seemingly by destitute drug addicts.
While we have little conclusive proof that all 160 or so “residents” were Meth heads, it surely was a “dark” place in which you could feel the evil all around.
Drugs seemed to be the currency of choice here and it was a dirty, chaotic mess of a place. It gave me cause to think on how people get to a place they would want to and feel comfortable calling this place “home”.
Snaggletooth
The Snaggletooth Wilderness area hosts a BLM Primitive camp ground. We chose to stop here on our way south from the Valley of Fire area in Nevada to our final destination at the Glamis North RV park in Niland California. I’ll share my thoughts and a few photos with you from along the way.
A Kanab Utah Video
You’ve recently been reading about all the places we visited in Kanab Utah while there during the latter weeks in December. Today, I wanted to share with you a video which in fact documents all of the locations we have been writing about.
I Love the intro to this video, but the content should prove helpful to you as well. I hope you enjoy it.
An Old Movie Set
Our final night in Kanab Utah was spent driving to the old, historic movie set/site called the Paria Townsite. A short 5 mile drive into what seemed like another world.
The views were epic and I was awestruck by the landscape in the area. No wonder the Mormons wanted to settle out there.
Coral Pink
The Coral Pink Sand Dune State Park in Utah is one not to miss should you be in the region visiting. This park is full of photographic opportunity. It’s an OHV Mecca, so you should know; going there for a vacation is going to mean plenty of OHV noise. However, outside the park are a load of Boondocking/Dispersed camping opportunities.
A Night in Flagstaff
On our way out of the Phoenix area, we headed north through Sedona and into the Flagstaff area of Arizona. The changes in elevation brought a significant temperature and scenery change. While we only stayed one night, it was an epic night (errr morning)
14 Days in Golden Canyon
A see you later for the Golden Canyon in Arizona.
We spent 14 nights in the Golden Canyon area of Arizona, just east of Phoenix.
It was a lovely, although dusty, time meeting some great new friends and learning a number of things related to our experiences out here.
A Video from Arizona
We spent a number of weeks in a dispersed camping environment in Arizona. Specifically in the Queens Valley area. A location on Arizona State Trust land provided, through the permitting process in Arizona, an opportunity to dispersed camp…or boondock, for a total of 14 days. We met some great life long friends along the way. Please enjoy this update video from the floor of the Arizona Desert.
