    My Journey

    There is a small BLM campground called Aguirre Spring CG on the northern side of the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument. The loops up top are tight and sometimes a bit sloped, but if you can get a good one (we did!) it is an absolutely stunning place. Those awesome peaks right behind...

    Camp Stove Griddle Plate Recommends.

    I spent way too many hours researching this a while back. We use the Lodge 18" x 10" carbon steel griddle also and like it a whole lot. I see they have gone up substantially in price though, used to be $50. The nonstick works well, cleans easily, and it weighs a good bit less than cast iron...

    My Journey

    I am not sure if any of the cactus slated to be destroyed by that idiotic border wall have been rescued. If they really are smashing those majestic saguaros to pieces...it is very sad. Just like clear cutting majestic several hundred year old oak trees for a few more houses, or for a better view...

    My Journey

    Jerry, just a quick note on the Tucson Cactus and Succulent Society in Tucson, sponsors of the Pima Prickly Park you visited. TCSS is a neat volunteer organization here that does lots of educational outreach and rescues cacti. Yes, they go out to constructions sites, street projects, new...

    My Journey

    Jerry, hope all is going as well as can be with Yukon and you. Again, as you seem to be spending much time in Tucson, my offer still stands. If you want a place to hang out just outside of the city to give you a little more "stability" as you and Yukon go through your days, please don't...

    Jerry, I have never chimed in on this thread but I have been following you for quite some time. I am continually amazed by your drive, persistence, your past travels, your pics, and especially your generosity. I have been taking notes on some of the places you visit for future travels. My...

    Coyote(s) with mange....what to do?

    We had some poor foxes with mange coming into our yard in an urban area. Our local animal welfare org directed me to a group of rescue folks who gave me 2 vials of ivermectin and 2 syringes. I donated to their rescue site online later. I was instructed to inject a chicken leg with one dose and...

    Advice for soon to be father...

    I have a 14 and 18 year old boys. My oldest attends one of the top STEM high schools in the nation (and is headed to college this fall). He laments that his peers, although book smart and math nerds, don't know a sparrow from a robin, an oak from a maple, are petrified of little insects and want...

    Sleeping in Walmart parking lot with roof top tent

    It has nothing to do with entitlement. I was making a reference to Walmart policies regarding screwing workers and the environment. I am glad they provide jobs for millions, but for not much else. Perhaps they have improved lately? Then again, Walmart isn't the only huge company with these...
