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...

Written by Steve Johnson
May 8, 2017: Driving along I-10 through eastern Arizona is to be deluged with road sign after road sign advertising, “The Thing?” What is “The Thing?” It’s a basically some kind of mummy. It’s not a real body, but something made up to look like a real mummy… “The roadside area was the creation...

Season 1, Episode 3: Food and Art in Tucson, AZ

Written by Steve Johnson
Tucson’s small-town feel with the amenities of a big city is why it continues to be the favored weekend destination for over its rival, Phoenix, to the north. Sash and I had always preferred the lighter crowds and the abundance of parking in the “Old Pueblo”, yet found that it offered enough creative and...

Gates Pass, Tucson Motorcycle Ride

Written by Steve Johnson
Gates Pass is a popular destination for motorcycle riders local to Tucson, AZ. It’s relatively short distance from the city, moderate speeds, and handful of tight curves, make it a perfect compliment to the gorgeous views of Arizona’s southern valleys. It was in 1883 that Thomas Gates, a local pioneer, saloon keeper and rancher...

Nimbus Brewing | Where the Old Monkey Shines

Written by Steve Johnson
nimbus brewing tucson
Nimbus Brewing, located in the southern portion of Tucson, AZ, seems to belt out some of the city’s best craft beer, despite a recent influx of new craft breweries.

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. Sash and I travel around in this trailer awaiting orders from headquarters for my next assignment. I can't show you the details of my work, but I can show you how I live.
