First Time RVing in the Snow Was Kind of a Disaster

Written by Steve Johnson
Camping in the mountains, at 4,500 feet elevation, in January, is like an invitation for a freeze, yet the 10-day weather forecast said the lows would not see anything below 35 degrees F. Technically, not freezing. That’s saying something for Southern California. While the rest of the country was dealing with frozen rivers and...

Going Black and Not Coming Back

Written by Steve Johnson
This wasn’t your garden variety massage. It was a “chakra massage”, something that was supposed to realign the spiritual energy centers up and down my body and allow my brain and nervous system to realize full awareness and joy. It was like the Dalai Lama version of a chiropractic adjustment. “I’m pulling out all...

1971 Schwinn Stingray in Orange

Written by Steve Johnson
The Schwinn Stingray was the bicycle every boy wanted in 1971. I was no different. So when my mom and dad bought it for me for Christmas, I about blew up in excitement. Actually, I hadn’t yet learned how to ride a bike without training wheels. I was only 6 years old then. But...

Getting Valley Fever in Bakersfield

Written by Steve Johnson

Apex OHV Area – Free Nevada Boondocking

Written by Steve Johnson
When looking at from Google Maps’ Satellite View, Apex OHV Area doesn’t look like much. And when you arrive there in person, sure enough it’s not that much. But yet, it’s actually a decent place to set up an RV and boondock for however long your tanks will hold out. The only thing you...

The Desert Still Remains Free of Christmas

Written by Steve Johnson
One of the advantages of boondocking in the deserts of the American southwest, is the absence of Christmas. That is, if you consider that an advantage. Call me a Scrooge, if you want, but the sight of creosote bush, ocotillo, and desert scrub doesn’t really conjure up images of a Winter Wonderland, even if...

Stewart’s Point, Lake Mead, Nevada – Free RV Boondocking

Written by Steve Johnson
Stewart’s Point is a tiny hamlet located on the northern arm of Lake Mead. It’s within the Lake Mead National Recreational Area, but is a small community of homes that was grandfathered into the Area.

Snaggletooth Primitive RV Camp – Free California Boondocking

Written by Steve Johnson
Snaggletooth Primitive RV Camp is just a spot along a “dark desert highway” that might otherwise not notice. Located along US-95, on the west side of the road, just west of the Chemehuevi Mountains Wilderness Area, right by an outcropping of reddish sandstone hills and boulders. Sash and I arrived there for the night,...

What These Little Yellow Flowers Teach us About Living

Written by Steve Johnson
After four weeks of living here at Joshua Tree South BLM, our fresh water tank has run dry. It’s time to pack up the toy hauler, and find another place to continue living our lives. Sash and I are still putting focus on remaining present. That is, staying in the now, and being more...
