Wagon Wheel Rest Area – Kayenta, Arizona

Written by Steve Johnson
Wagon Wheel Rest Area shows up on Google Maps as a “rest area”, shaded in green as if it might be some kind of park, or place where weary travelers can get in some shut eye. But when Sash and I visited this place for an overnight stop, we found nothing more than several...

Free Camping at Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument

I'm a "Man in Black", one of those guys who goes around dressed in black suits, looking for people who were abducted by UFOs so that we can keep them quiet.
