First snow of the year, for me…
I had spent all this winter in the South-West that just last night and this morning was the first time I have seen snow if any significance since last winter. I woke this morning to a few inches on the …
Gray Rock Mountain hike
http://tim.tmcarthur.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Gray-Rock-Mtn-1024x191.jpg
Conor got me motivated for a hike, so after getting my work done for the day we hauled ourselves up Hwy 14 to a hike that he had partially done a few months back, Gray Rock Mtn. This trail is …
Back in Colarado
Obviously, I made it back into CO. I have put the trailer into storage and will take a 4-5 week pause before a scheduled road trip with Timmy for spring break. We have not yet decided where we are going …

Petroglyph National Monument
http://lh3.ggpht.com/_EmimZioRwpw/TWVqkrvjlcI/AAAAAAAAMd4/okbg3DtKzdI/s160-c/IMG_6056.JPG
As I traveled North toward Colorado, I was in need of a fuel stop and a lunch break. Not far off my path was the Petroplgyh Ntnl Monument so I decided to spend my few hours there instead of at …
Testing New Mexico gun laws
Though I looked up the state gun laws before coming in, testing them against a law enforcement officer is still not the most comfortable thing. Much like your airbags in a collision; you know they are on your side and …
Northward back to Colorado
The auto parts store kept their promise and had the part to me by 8am and I was rolling again only 30 minutes later to refuel and get moving again. I made the decision this morning to go ahead and …
Driving into New Mexico
http://tim.tmcarthur.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/IMG_6019-150x150.jpg
I left Willcox, AZ in mid morning, after stopping by ACE Hardware to pickup some insulation for my trailer’s water pipes. I figure it would be a day’s work when I am sitting at some park, and it will prepare …
Chiricahua Ntnl Monument
http://lh4.ggpht.com/_EmimZioRwpw/TViLXT7eyTI/AAAAAAAAMYI/gmzo-Un_UVE/s160-c/IMG_5954.JPG
After spending the night on the side of the road 15 miles north of Chiricahua National Monument and taking care of work through out the morning, I was able to roll into the park by 1pm. I was quickly blown …
Sunset over the Dragoon Mountains
http://tim.tmcarthur.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/IMG_5950-1024x311.jpg
I am not educated enough to have the words to describe these events, so I will keep quiet and just show the pictures.
Half way to Chiricahua
http://tim.tmcarthur.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/stitch-1024x143.jpg
So I did hitch up and roll out of the RV park, giving up the luxuries of 120v power and showers for the open road void of most people. I drove as far South as I could before losing my …
Movin’ on
http://tim.tmcarthur.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/feb11-300x227.jpg
Yesterday morning I hauled out from the McCarrell Ranch [1] and slipped into Benson, AZ [3] for a much needed restocking of food. $23 of groceries has me prepared for another week in the boonies, though I am not heading …
San Pedro house (and trail)
http://lh4.ggpht.com/_EmimZioRwpw/TVQ9LqgZ-1I/AAAAAAAAMUE/IS5IJSj0tRY/s160-c/IMG_5904.JPG
I did not read up on the history of this area, though I did see that this was a stretch of land which multiple families attempted to raise cattle on in the 1800′s only to be run off by the …
