Bum Friends

32 Comments

With bad weather on the way we decided to tuck in to a campground in Kanab, UT for a night. An hour after getting there a Bum friend we hadn’t seen since a lunch in Portland many years ago drove up. We talked and made plans for the next day. … Read More

Lone Rock Beach

Prepare yourself for a whole bunch of pictures of a lone rock. We knew it was supposed to be windy, but when we got out to Lone Rock Beach, just a few miles outside of Page, on the banks of Lake Powell, we found ourselves in the midst of a … Read More

Valley of the Gods

Valley of the Gods is on BLM land, meaning we can simply drive on out here into this amazingly beautiful country and park ourselves wherever we’d like. There’s a lot of reasons to love the RV life, but being able to have your front door open out onto this is … Read More

Goosenecks State Park

From Page we headed east 150 miles or so, after hearing about the Holy Grail of boondocking spots. Two of them actually.

From Canyon De Chelley we drove north and eventually through what has to be one of the most poorly named towns in all of America—Mexican Water. There isn’t an American anywhere who hasn’t been warned about drinking Mexican water, and here is this town who has to share the name. … Read More
