I found a great place to camp high up on a mountain overlooking Bisbee, Arizona. It has killer high-speed Internet and easy access back into Bisbee for sightseeing and shopping.
When I returned to the force Road near Amado, I was happy to find that the exact same camp spot was available and someone made it even easier to back in than last time.
I was a little bit apprehensive about leaving the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge and heading south of Tucson. The weather had once again turned windy, cold, and uncomfortable.
Needing a place to tuck away for the weekend and get some work done before I headed south of Tucson, I found a great isolated area with good Internet and no one else nearby.
On an evening, where I was not expecting the sky to produce much of a sunset I was treated to quite a surprise while I was FaceTime with my oldest son in the evening.
In the Sonoran Desert National Monument, I've experienced a mix of serenity and excitement, from visiting a stunning Hindu temple to exploring a dwarf car museum and sunsets!
As the evening began to set in, the wispy clouds in the sky hinted that we might be in for a spectacular sunset, so I headed into the desert in an attempt to capture its beauty.
After an awesome couple of weeks in the Ironwood Forest National Monument and some fabulous trips into Tucson, I headed to one of my favorite spots from last year.
Just like last year, the weather refused to cooperate south of Tucson, and I headed further west into one of my favorite places from last winter and found an even better camping spot.
After hanging out in the Ironwood Forest National Monument and not touristing very much, I decided it was time to head into Tucson and needed southwestern art fix.
While I was out taking an evening walk, I decided to try to capture some southwestern sunset photos. Mother Nature wasn't as cooperative this evening as she is some evenings.
Hanging out in the Ironwood Forest National Monument and heading into town gave me a few opportunities to snap a few fun pictures of beautiful sunsets and enjoy some sweets.
After two brutally long days of driving, I was thrilled to pull into this piece of BLM land and discover some wonderful campsites with tons of cactuses, beautiful views, and privacy.
I was happy to roll out from the Pike Camp Access and head to the Lake of the Ozarks. This campsite is tucked away, right on one of the beautiful fingers of the lake.
With the holiday weekend approaching, I needed to find someplace free to hide out, get some work done, and try to relax before getting back on the road.
On my last night in Michigan, I managed to get a spot right across from the banks of Lake Erie, and after a busy day, I ate a bowl of cereal on the beach.
