Oh man, what a hike this one was. While camped near the town of Ajo, AZ, we set out to find an area of a thousand or more petroglyphs and pictographs, only to find the limit of our endurance.

Getting out on the road is what Linda and I love to do with our converted cargo trailer camper. We're part time nomads and the nomadic lifestyle suits us to a Tee. Whether your RV is a camper van, camp trailer, travel trailer, motorhome or just a car and a tent, there's going to be something interesting for you in the videos we produce. Back roads and overlanding are part of what we do while exploring the western states for beautiful, peaceful and sometimes remote places to camp on BLM and National Forest land (public land). Taking care of ourselves as much as possible and doing our own repairs is a must because we travel on a fixed income and a limited budget. If you're into being off-grid and boondocking or doing dispersed camping whenever possible then you'll appreciate the discussions on batteries, solar panels and solar chargers or power stations and 12v refrigeration. Come on along, we're happy to have your company!

@morphergaming0531 Год назад

It's just so easy getting caught up in that "just a little farther" mentality hiking in the desert. Thank you for filming the desert blooms, sprinkling of colorful joy in a harsh environment is a beauty in itself.

@michaelc891 Год назад

There is no such thing as a disappointing hike. Just some hikes better than others. Good advice about proper vehicles. Hope your ankle is better soon, Linda. Thanks for the video. The desert is always interesting.

@cargotrailerkenny4481 Год назад

I know when you have a channel like this people are always giving you advice but I just wanted to say I have a bad ankle as well and I've learned to never go anywhere without a ace bandage or they have some very nice bands that go around ankles and knees etc that can help you out in a bind. Carrying a collapsible lightweight walking stick helps as well taking the pressure off some of those injured areas. You guys take care, and like you said at your age (and my age) you did pretty well. considering the rough terrain

@tennesseefiddlefoot6260 Год назад

At our age, the most awesome thing about coming up against your limits (oh yes, it's awesome), is in the trying. If the desire is there and some of the muscles, a modicum of balance (use tools if necessary), then we have to try. KUDOS!

Years ago we lived in the path of the flights into McChord Air Force Base. The sound would totally be deafening and make the house vibrate. We brought home a new baby at the time and she could sleep right through it but if someone talked in the house she woke up, we live quite a ways farther away from the base now so we don’t hear the planes as much

@nancyst.john-smith3891 Год назад

Linda I hope you feel better asap! This is one for the books and you can say “I’m glad I made it!”. You’re tougher than you thought you were, or tougher than you wanted to be. My hat is off to both of you! Lots of these adventures end up with someone injured, needing rescue or worse. You did a great job of planning, leaving records of your activities, monitoring your progress and had the good judgement to turn around. Can I make a recommendation? Hiking poles are so helpful for people with sore joints, especially up or down hills. I was just at the Nevada state Park Valley of Fire outside Las Vegas and took a 0.75 mile easy hike on the “Mouse’s Tank trail”. The petroglyphs were amazing, the hike was easy and my hiking poles protected my balance many times. I have a couple of vertebral compression fractures and have been rehabbing my back for a year. I was so proud of myself for finishing in good shape.

@gonagain Год назад

We've been on that trail, it's a beautiful and amazing area. We almost always have our walking sticks with us but we forgot them on this trip. Hope you're doing well, Nancy. Nice to hear from you. ~~Linda

@twowheelsdown2002 Год назад

Me and Jenny ran into cartel smugglers in that area. We took a hike and on the way back Jenny was taking photos of organ pipe cactus in the magic yellow light before dark. I said “Gotta go or we’ll be hiking in the dark.” We were nearing a wash and suddenly I saw 5 men all in camo with big green plastic bales on their backs. I pushed Jenny’s shoulders down and said “ssshhh, get down!” She whispered “Are those hikers?” I said “ Hell no, we don’t want to meet these men, they may kill us!”Luckily we were over their right shoulder and they must have not seen us. I put my hand in my chest pack and onto my .357 magnum. We waited, but had to go across their path behind them. We hustled to the car and 2 men were there and approached us asking which direction we were going.I had one hand on the corner of my chest carry rig in case I needed my weapon fast. I told them “We are leaving, no passengers!” I stayed facing them as Jenny got in, and I waited til they walked away before I turned my back to get in the door. We called 911 and they had Border Patrol meet us. We asked if they would be going after them with a helicopter, but he said no, and they were tracking 5 groups. He wasn’t about to take them on by himself. We won’t be traveling there again.

@gonagain Год назад

We're curtailing our trips, too. We've never had any encounters like that although camping in the Barry M. Goldwater Range was close. Had fresh footprints going by our camp coming from the south and headed north. We left right after seeing those.

@jackchivvis4188 Год назад

We camped in that area a couple of years ago and loved the desert but got real tired of the fighter jet noise. Also been to Organ Pipe twice and really liked that. We @ 65 and 70 do a lot of off trail hiking but limit ourselves to 6 mi. out and back. Just can't do the big hikes we did when we were young and don't want to get too far away from our trailer. You guys would get a kick out of our home built 10 ft. trailer. Check our vids for a tour.

Linda, Should use those Elastic ankle braces! When she goes hiking. And stay ahead of the game that way, giving her support! Before I retired I took care of elderly people convelesing from surgery And helping with light work they needed help with! One lady I helped when I started helping her. She said her doctor wanted to put her in a institution Because she was having mental problems. First thing I always did was research their Med's. I found she was on 3 different Med's that should not have taken with the others!!! Problem solved! She was Very greatfull! I suggested she have a serious talk with her doc, who wanted to put her away! He should of know Not to give her those med's!!! She also went to Another pharmacy. So never go to more than one pharmacy without Notifying them both!!!

A personal question. Were you two doing adventures like this together when you were in your mid to late 20's? In the summer of 1983 while I was stationed at 29 palms I got a hair up my ass and rode my 1982 Goldwing Interstate motorcycle out to Death Valley as I recall I think it was on the 4th of July weekend. Totally insane move due to the heat but I was a 19 year old hard charging Marine at the time and I wanted to check out the valley. When I got there it was crazy hot and I was riding like a squid in shorts and a tank top with my helmet on the helmet hook before the helmet law just to avoid heatstroke. There was no one there at least outside and the ranger's trucks were parked by their hut with the AC unit going full blast. I was about to split and maybe head up into the Panamints to find a cooler place to camp due to the heat but I noticed a couple and their one lone van in the campground at Furnace creek and decided to go over and say hi since they were as crazy as me. They turned out to be a couple of adventures. The man was an engineer who traveled the world doing construction projects and went on expeditions between jobs, his wife whom I thought was Asian was Hawaiian and they both lived in Hawaii but ventured to the mainland to vacation and explore. I ended up hanging out with them for the rest of the afternoon and evening, camped there for the night and split at first light before it got insanely hot again. I've been watching and enjoying your videos and wondering if that was you two I met back then. I didn't commit their names to memory since this was back before social media, I was unlikely to ever run into them again and I met a lot of people on my adventures at the time anyway too many to keep in touch with. Unlikely but my curiosity has been peeked since I've been a subscriber.

Nice hike but disappointing! Different topic...how often do you lube bearings on trailer?

@rtoguidver3651 Год назад

Time for some energy drinks.....There are thousands of Cabeza Petroglyphs and you didn't find "One" ???

They're all in the one location.

Great videos! This is a bit off subject. I pull a 26' trailer. I'm in need of new tires. Since you do a lot of off road travel I was wondering what brand and make are your tires? Any info would help. Thanks!

@gonagain Год назад

The only tires I can recommend are Goodyear Endurance. That's what we're currently running and it's because of glowing reports from others.

@smittyhill1 Год назад

@@gonagain Great. Thanks for the reply. Take care!

@smittyhill1 Год назад

@@gonagain Rick, I'd like to apologize. I think I mislead you with my tire question. I was wanting to know what brand and make tires you use on your vehicle. The way I stated it I might have gave you the wrong idea. Was the Goodyear Endurance for your trailer or vehicle? If it was for your vehicle, maybe you did read through my confusion (Grin). Again, great videos and thanks!

Something wrong with the camera, or did you test out the invisibility feature?

@gonagain Год назад

Nah, no invisibility button on the camera. Oh, wait, it's there, I just can't see it! Thanks, Darryl, we're fixing it now.

I have a question for Rick .. if I have a jeep rated to tow 3500 lbs and I purchased a 1600 lb trl . How much weight would you recommend adding ? And do I really need a tandem axle if I'm not planning to go over 3500 total pounds. We have decided on a 12 ft because we have two small and one 40 pound dog

@gonagain Год назад

You're not going to have a lot of power on the hills and against a headwind, but I see folks towing cargo trailers with their Jeeps all the time. Just try to keep your build as light as possible and leave the heavy stuff at home. We travel light anyhow ourselves. The biggest problem you're going to have isn't the weight anyhow, it's the wind resistance on the front of the trailer. We do our best to keep our speed at around 55mph whenever possible because going faster really hurts the mileage!

@Nomadiccamping Год назад

@Gonagain thank you for the advice . I won't be adding too much weight. And cutting to one axle would help with the weight by a few hundred pounds. I also plan on a v nose.

If you have an iPhone, your Health app will show mileage.

@gonagain 5 месяцев назад

At home in the garage, :0( . We forgot them on this trip and I made one for an ocotillo branch.

Don't the helicopters patrol the boarder?

@gonagain Год назад

Hello Carolee, I don't think they're in heavy use for patrolling. Stay tuned for Sunday's video that shows the wall.

@tommatheson5855 Год назад

Could you have ridden your electric bike down that road /trail?

@gonagain Год назад

Yes, but parts of it would have been pretty technical and maybe beyond my level. I think the worst part you might have to get off and walk it. The bike would actually be a lot faster on the road going in.

How often do you have to apply for the Golden age pass?

@gonagain Год назад

We have the lifetime senior pass which is now $80 according to their website.

@boscodog4358 Год назад

That is for National Parks only? Correct

Hi Rick Hello Linda. Ya know I keep thinking that this vid was shot in Warmer-Temps, something we keep waiting for?? Trails, like this Bummer to Nowhere, somehow are part of the joy of discovery. Even the Less than Groovy Trekking is Better than about 20,000 other bummers that I can list off, but I won't. Y'all Happy & Healthy & Looking Good.-------Nice. Still Frizin???

@gonagain Год назад

Hello! Yep, we're still freezing here in MT while remodeling and getting ready for a trip to FL. And thinking about the weather we'll have to dodge while on that trip...life is exciting, isn't it?
