You're right; camping in the desert for too long can be risky. Deserts are harsh environments with limited resources. But being prepared is half the fun. We are still in the desert. Does anyone like desert camping over anything else?

Has anyone camped in the desert by yourself?
Our first night in the Chihuahuan Desert. Not for the faint in camping but for the truly adventurous. This remote area of West Texas features rugged mountains, steep canyons, amazing views, unparalleled night skies, and solitude in a high desert...

After four weeks of work-related deadlines and meetings, I venture towards Colorado Bend SP. Parking my Colorado next to The Colorado River, I reunite with the outdoors and find solidarity with fowl, flock, and foliage.
It was a weekend of awe and discovery. I want to share this with...

Hey guys, I know that I might be overreacting here, but something recently happened over the summertime in an NM forest. I had to write about it to make sense.
But if you were ever in a situation, in the bush or other, would you protect your family to the full degree?

While overlanding in AZ, we had to stop at the Grand Canyon. Although at the South Rim where more of the touristy go, it was still GRAND.
Let me know if you have any special spots where boondocking is allowed. For now, enjoy the pics and tips: 8th Wonder of the World
If you keep exploring, you will find things that never would have come across your path. Whether about camping or vehicle-dependent exploration, keep on truckin'.
Cinders as a terrain? I never would have thought it! But it does exist and we found ourselves stuck.

Recently, I was hiking in the Petrified Forest. Noticed it got late for a comfortable camp setup. So, I geocache a basecamp.
Found it off-road, but not before some beautiful driving in the desert.

Hey there! I just want to say, "Whew!" overlanding can take a toll on the body, mind, and spirit of a person. In my 14 years of exploration, I hear this is true for everyone.
But who is talking about it?
I am, and I have a protip for you,

Tuckered Out Traveling? Does it happen? Am I weird? Exhausted Overlander wants to hear from you.
I never thought this would happen, but it must be true. Who talks about this, anyway?
Well, I have been in it for 30 years, and whew, tuckered.
I am exhausted link.
It has been a conversation piece around many campfires. Which do you prefer, winter or summer exploration?
For this Texan, there are only two seasons, and I prefer summer. So, I know things are COLD but don't fret, spring is coming.
