Guess what day it is? Guess what day it is? Are you all thinking of the camel in the Geigo commercial? The 101st International FMCA Rally in Tucson is 101 days away! See what I did there. March is a great time to be in Arizona. The day temps are perfect with spectacular sunsets followed…
Turkey in the Dirt
Yes, you read that correctly. For the last several years we have celebrated Thanksgiving in the California desert. Don’t think we skimp on the feast just because we are dry camping in the middle of nowhere. We go all out. It’s a traditional Thanksgiving feast with all the trimmings. The day starts much like it…
