Any trip to Grand Canyon National Park is bound to be a good one. Unless of course you get locked out after just a couple of days. That’s exactly what happened to us back in 2013 when we were visiting the south rim and the government shut down. All National Parks were closed for about…
This week is just a life update instead of a new travel vlog. We have been boondocking near Jacob Lake by the north rim of Grand Canyon National Park. A trip to the E.R. for our daughter plus our credit card getting stolen threw off our plans a little. Which is also a good reminder…
Since we finished our Solar Install we have been doing a lot more boondocking. We typically stay out for a week at a time before breaking camp to dump our holding tanks and refill freshwater. In order to extend that, we decided to buy a portable waste tank, freshwater bladder, and a couple of pumps…
Only a few miles downstream from Horseshoe Bend lies Lees Ferry and Cathedral Wash. However, despite it’s close physical proximity, it takes about an hour to drive there from Page, AZ! While that might seem like quite a way, it is also far enough to get away from most of the tourist crowds. If you…
There are so many great places to stay near Page Arizona that we decided it needed it’s own post.

However, as the reservoir filled and began attracting tourists, the town grew. Of course, as tourism grew, even more natural wonders in the area became…
We’ve had a number of comments, mostly on YouTube, about Flexible vs Rigid Solar Panels. Most of our comments have been really positive. Some just wanted to point out that rigid ones are better. Others asked about how ours have been holding up. After someone linked a video from another YouTuber who’s had some issues…
Setting up our house in the middle of a lava field was a pretty unique experience. With Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument just north of us, giant cinder cones dominated our views to the North and East. The tallest mountains in Arizona were to the west. We couldn’t ask for better views! On top of…
With our repairs complete, we were supposed to pick up the trailer at 5pm on a Thursday. Instead of trying to get set up and settled in the dark, we opted to spend one more night in an Airbnb and pick it up at noon on Friday. It was so good to be home! We…
