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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
A windy start & pics of McCarrell Ranch
http://lh5.ggpht.com/_EmimZioRwpw/TVHOLSuaGTI/AAAAAAAAMRQ/zsmuLqpBflQ/s160-c/IMG_5821.jpg
Wind kicked up just after the alarm woke me at 6am. By 6:14, I was outside trying to rescue my awning which was just hanging on with the wind trying desperately to rip it off the trailer. It did not …
In the land of the McCarrell’s
http://tim.tmcarthur.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/IMG_5933-300x200.jpg
The plans I intended to follow yesterday, have already been tossed out. Arizona, much like California, has too many city ordinances preventing over-night parking. Since I did not care to be rattled awake in the middle of the night, I …
Flight delayed
Yea, another change of plans. As my Mother and I figured out, the only thing certain about a ‘McArthur plan’ is that it will not be the plan used come that time. Though I was hoping to be rolling East-ward …
Getting ready to leave Tucson area
I was going to head out last weekend, but a minor medical issue prevented me from rolling out on the final day; A tooth of mine decided to finally call it quits last Wednesday and by Saturday it was full-on …
Couch potato
After the trip to the museum on Monday, I have done little in terms of adventure. Tuesday was spent ‘moving in’ to the trailer from the van. Wednesday was spent on basic chores; laundry, shopping, cleaning and repairs. And Today …
Relax days
A couple of much needed relaxation-days in the bank. Mom and I have done little to nothing the past 3 days; a little shopping, laundry, etc but not much more. I did fork out a few bills to pickup a …
