March to Remember

We started the month off still working our way north through Baja, Mexico. After a memorable border crossing in Mexicali, we were happy to be back in the United States. We spent our first night back camped at Dirty South BBQ just outside of Yuma.

To say we were excited to eat some good southern barbeque was an understatement! As a bonus they had a fun rockabilly band playing that night as well. So after a long somewhat stressful day it was the perfect place to unwind.

We find places like this that are fun to experience and allow you to stay a night in a secure location through the Harvest Host program. Wineries, breweries, museums, restaurants, and our favorites, local farms have been some of the places we have stayed over the years. Not only are you supporting a small business, but you’d also be amazed at some of the fellow campers you’ll meet along the way!

March also kicks off our busy season for our business, so I traveled to Montana for 10 days, while Andrea stayed camped out in the much warmer weather, just north of Phoenix.

One of our favorite ways to camp across Arizona is by using the Arizona State Trust lands. This is very similar to BLM land, but usually much nicer, closer to towns you’d like to visit, and it does cost a fee which supports K-12 education in the state. For $21 a year, it’s a game changer for us and well worth every penny.
