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 Drone Rescue
It was frustrating day.
A day I anticipated with great eagerness. The opportunity to finally fly my DJI Avata FPV drone through a close walled canyon. Something I’ve longed to do for some time.
After a long ride through a very bumpy, dusty, dry terrain, we made it. I launched the Avata, began my flight, and almost as soon as I began the flight, it ended. Crashed into a bush…of all places, on top of the mountain. Read on to learn the story.
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.
Buckskin Gulch
The Buckskin Gulch via the Wire Pass trailhead is one of the more epic hikes I have ever done. This past Christmas marks the second time I’ve ventured into this, one of the worlds largest slot canyons. The canyon is part of the Coyote Buttes North region and The Wire Pass trailhead is the same trail for the world famous Wave hike. Both require permits. Buckskin is a day use permit and not part of the lottery system that controls hikes to The Wave.
If you are ever in this area, don’t miss this hike. It’s utterly astounding and amazing and full of photography. Check out this post from some photography suggestions if you plan to hike to take photos.
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)
Elephant Butte
The work on the road has begun and as I find my way along this journey, I am starting to find a system in my day to day workflow.
While staying in the Elephant Butte area, I have been treated to some fairly pretty skies at night and in the morning. I thought i’d share them with you.
New Mexico
I’m sitting at my workstation in the RV typing and editing video. Fully functional and totally “off grid”. It’s pretty neat so far and I felt it was time to give everyone an update.
Just a Mist
We are but a mist and a breath. We have so little time to live out our purposes here on earth, yet we consume ourselves with worry, work, and “planning for retirement”, that golden day we finally start to live life like what we want to.
How silly I find this ideal set up in America for life.
